Creation of Temporal Docker image

Hi everyone,
We’ve made some changes to the Temporal server codebase and can successfully run the server with the changes on local setup. We tried to build a Temporal server image with the new changes by following these steps:

  1. cloned the GitHub - temporalio/docker-builds: Temporal service Docker images build folder and put the Temporal server code with our changes in it.
  2. ran the docker build . -f server.Dockerfile -t server:1.21.3 command to build the server image.

When we tried to deploy the server using the image containing our changes, deploy is succeesful as shown in picture 1. However, we couldn’t bring up the frontend, history, matching, and worker containers, as shown is the picture 2.
Can you please validation if the approach is correct? please suggest a solution on how to bring up these containers.

Thanks!

I also working on similar use case, anyone know whether it’s the correct method to build temporal server by ourselves?

Hi @Mahith @xuejie

Is this all you get in server logs?

Have you tested if your deployment work building the server without any modification?

Hi Antonio,
Thank you for the reply. I finally find I first need to delete the binaries in temporal folder that generated when I run locally using make command, since it’s Darwin format and we need Linux format for docker run. It will make Linux format binaries during build process, but if there are already binaries, it willl skip the steps and won’t overwrite
