Build your own image (Docker)

Kubiya agent is essential for initializing new profiles and configuring them to work with Kubiya. This guide will walk you through creating a new profile using the Kubiya base image and setting up the project structure.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following:

• Docker installed on your machine.

• Access to the Kubiya base image (kubiya/base-agent).

• You can find more details about the template in its official repo - we encourage you to suggest new setup via pull requests : https://github.com/kubiyabot/agent-starter-template

Step 1: Clone our starter repository

First, you need to create a new directory for your Docker project. This will serve as the root directory.

git clone https://github.com/kubiyabot/agent-starter-template
cd agent-starter-template

Step 2: Extend the Agent Dockerfile with your tools

Edit the Dockerfile in the project root - you can add all kinds of layers to the Dockerfile as per your setup needs:

FROM ghcr.io/kubiyabot/connections-agent-core:stable

# Add your layers here..
# eg:
# # Install terraform
#RUN wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.6.2/terraform_1.6.2_linux_amd64.zip && \
#    unzip terraform_1.6.2_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/

Step 3: Build the container

Now let's bundle everything together into a Docker image which will be used as our profile server:

docker build . --tag <your-dest-image>

Push to the registry:

docker push <dest>

Next: Configure the Agent on Slack
