We do not and may never run run these images in production.
They are not currently suitable for production use.
## Tooling
`Dockerfile`s for individual services should be placed in
`docker/build/<service>`. There should be an accompanying `ansible_overrides.yml`
which specifies any docker-specific configuration values.
Once the `Dockerfile` has been created, it can be built and published
using a set of make commands.
```shell
make docker.build.<service> # Build the service container (but don't tag it)
make docker.test.<service> # Test that the Dockerfile for <service> will build.
# This will rebuild any edx-specific containers that
# the Dockerfile depends on as well, in case there
# are failures as a result of changes to the base image.
make docker.pkg.<service> # Package <service> for publishing to Dockerhub. This
# will also package and tag pre-requisite service containers.
make docker.push.<service> # Push <service> to Dockerhub as latest.
```
