How to build a custom lithops runtime for knative?

[faraz-ahmd]

Hi,

Can someone please explain what should be the contents of the lithops/ directory and the lithops-knative.zip file when building a custom runtime using the skeleton Dockerfile for knative?

# Copy Lithops proxy and lib to the container image.
ENV APP_HOME /lithops
WORKDIR $APP_HOME

COPY lithops_knative.zip .
RUN unzip lithops_knative.zip && rm lithops_knative.zip

CMD exec gunicorn --bind :$PORT --workers $CONCURRENCY --timeout $TIMEOUT lithopsproxy:proxy

For building a custom runtime you must follow the instructions located in the runtime/ folder.

The .zip file is automatically created when you excute the lithops runtime vuild ... command

Thanks a lot for the pointer. I was able to build and create runtimes. Most of my issues were due to my setup being behind a proxy, so I had to set environment variables in the dockerfile.

ENV http_proxy "http://web-proxy.net:8080"
ENV https_proxy "http://web-proxy.net:8080"

Also, it would be great if the instructions are updated. lithops runtime deploy does not work as in the instructions, I used lithops runtime create with lithops, version 2.5.8.
