aws ecr get-login-password --region <region> | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com

# Tag the image
docker tag p4-broker:latest <account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com/p4-broker:latest

# Push the image
docker push <account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com/p4-broker:latest

Pushing to Another Container Registry

# Tag the image for your registry
docker tag p4-broker:latest <registry-url>/p4-broker:latest

# Push the image
docker push <registry-url>/p4-broker:latest

Local Testing

# Create a local broker config file
cat > p4broker.conf <<EOF
target = ssl:your-p4-server:1666;
listen = 1666;
directory = /tmp;
logfile = /tmp/p4broker.log;

command: *
{
    action = pass;
}
EOF

# Run the container
docker run -p 1666:1666 -v $(pwd)/p4broker.conf:/config/p4broker.conf p4-broker

Configuration

The container expects a broker configuration file at /config/p4broker.conf. When deployed via the Terraform module, this file is downloaded from S3 by an init container and mounted into the broker container via a shared volume.
