Hi @pontusoim,
For your docker container to initialize with your OS, you can use TorizonCore Builder. You need to add your docker-compose to your image by editing your tcbuild.yaml. If you run torizoncore-builder build --create-template, it will create a template for you with all possible configurations and some useful commentaries:
# >> NOTES:
# >> Lines containing ">>" are simply comments explaining the properties that
# >> follow; if you don't like these comments run:
# >> $ grep -v '>>' tcbuild.yaml > tcbuild-clean.yaml
# >> A line not containing ">>" can be uncommented (by removing the hash mark
# >> plus a space from its beginning); also set the corresponding property to
# >> appropriate values.
# >> When uncommenting a line having a property, remember to uncomment all its
# >> parent properties as well; for example: if you uncomment the
# >> 'splash-screen' property, also uncomment its parent property called
# >> 'customization'.
# >> The input section specifies the image to be taken as the base for the
# >> customization.
input:

# >> Choose one of the options (REQUIRED):
# >> (1) Image as local folder or tarball.

In your tcbuild.yaml you need to add your docker-compose file under output:
output:
easy-installer:
local: output_directory
bundle:
# >> Choose one of the options:
# >> (1) Specify a docker-compose file whose referenced images will be downloaded.
# >> Properties platform, username, password and registry are optional.
compose-file: files/docker-compose.yml
Don’t forget to uncomment these lines and also to select a TorizonCore image (just like this example: TorizonCore Builder Tool “build” command | Toradex Developer Center).
Finally, you can run torizoncore-builder build and our tool will automatically parse this file and create a custom image for you. If you’re using the above template, your image will be inside a folder called output_directory. You can simply take the file inside this folder, put into a storage device and flash it through Torizon Easy Installer. Don’t forget to change the autoinstall = true in your image.json file.
You need to add them to your Dockerfile. You will COPY the necessary python files inside your Docker image and then use the ENTRYPOINT to start your script automatically (Dockerfile reference | Docker Docs). For example, you can add this to your Dockerfile and then build your container:
COPY /home/my_computer/main.py /home/root/
ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "/home/root/main.py"]
So when your container starts, it will start your python file automatically.
I hope this will make things clearer for you.
Let me know if you need extra help with that.
Best regards,
Hiago.
