Installing Additional Modules in the Icinga Web 2 Docker Container

The Docker images we provide for both Icinga 2 and Icinga Web 2 already contain quite a number of modules. For example, the Icinga Web 2 image contains all the Web modules developed by us.

Faster CI Builds with Docker Remote Caching

Bitbucket Pipelines provides a Docker caching feature that can help improve build times. However, the limitation is that only compressed caches under 1GB are saved and can be used. In this blog, we outline a process showing how you can use compressed caches that are larger than 1GB. With Docker versions >= 19.03, you can use the BuildKit feature. With BuildKit, you don’t need to keep the cache locally before building the Docker image since it caches each build layer in your image registry.
