Walkthrough

The Dockerfile now uses the untagged Ubuntu image and BOSH CLI version 7.10.10. It consolidates locale setup and installs a smaller runtime package set with Ruby. It downloads the BOSH CLI with curl -fsSL. It removes Python packages, database clients and development libraries, the Ruby 3.1.0 build, the GitHub CLI, and the git-core PPA.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63414

The slimmer CI image may fail during dependency installation because native Ruby gems require build tools and headers that were removed. This can prevent CI jobs from starting their test suites, so the image should be corrected before merging; image reproducibility, layer cleanup, and CLI checksum verification are bounded follow-ups.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@ci/docker/openstack-cpi-release/Dockerfile`:
- Line 11: Update the Dockerfile’s APT install flow so both package
installations share one layer, or remove /var/lib/apt/lists immediately after
the first install and run apt-get update before the second. Ensure the final
image does not retain APT metadata from the initial RUN layer.
- Line 1: Update the Dockerfile’s FROM instruction to use the tested Ubuntu
release with its immutable image digest instead of the mutable ubuntu tag,
preserving the existing build steps.
- Line 26: Update the BOSH CLI download step in the Dockerfile to save the asset
to a temporary path, verify its SHA-256 digest against the expected value for
version 7.10.10, and install or move it only after verification succeeds.
- Around line 14-22: Update the Dockerfile package installation used by the
openstack CPI release image to retain a build-capable Ruby environment for
ci/tasks/run-unit-specs.sh: add the compiler toolchain and required development
headers needed to compile the lockfile’s byebug and json extensions, or install
the bundle during image construction so runtime setup does not compile them.
Keep the existing package installation scope otherwise unchanged.

Wondering if it would make sense to pass this in via a build-arg
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/blob/main/ci/dockerfiles/integration/Dockerfile#L5

^ eventually

Great suggestion! I was following the Google CPI approach and did not see that bosh handles it a lot better.
I have opened an issue to track this: #355

Outdated.
