Synapse Docker Images

We publish several docker images for Synapse that can be directly used for testing and deployment. By default, the images use Python 3.8.

Note

Vertex does not publish a latest tag for any of our Docker repositories. Vertex uses Docker tags based on git branch names, git release tags, and dynamic Docker tags that track the latest tagged release.

Application-Specific Images

The application-specific images contain entry point scripts which launch their respective Synapse application Cells from the /vertex/storage directory. The details for these images can be found on Dockerhub:

The following images are available:

# Tags based on Git branches. The Master tag is always available.
vertexproject/synapse-aha:master
vertexproject/synapse-axon:master
vertexproject/synapse-cortex:master
vertexproject/synapse-cryotank:master

# Two tag images are shown as an example.
# Each git tag has an associated Docker image made for it.
vertexproject/synapse-aha:v2.28.1
vertexproject/synapse-axon:v2.28.1
vertexproject/synapse-cortex:v2.28.1
vertexproject/synapse-cryotank:v2.28.1

# There are major version tags which always track the latest release.
vertexproject/synapse-aha:v2.x.x
vertexproject/synapse-axon:v2.x.x
vertexproject/synapse-cortex:v2.x.x
vertexproject/synapse-cryotank:v2.x.x

Synapse Image

The generic Synapse image does not have any Synapse-specific application entrypoint defined; executing it will drop a user into the Python interpreter. The -py37 tags use Python 3.7. It can be found on Dockerhub at Synapse.

The following images are available:

# Tags based on Git branches. The Master tag is always available.
vertexproject/synapse:master
vertexproject/synapse:master-py37

# Two tag images are shown as an example.
# Each git tag has an associated Docker image made for it.
vertexproject/synapse:v2.28.1
vertexproject/synapse:v2.28.1-py37

# There are major version tags which always track the latest release.
vertexproject/synapse:v2.x.x
vertexproject/synapse:v2.x.x-py37

Base Image

The aforementioned images are built off a base image which contains Synapse’s dependencies but not Synapse. This is available in Python 3.7 and Python 3.8 versions. It can be found on Dockerhub at Synapse Base Image 3.

The following images are available:

vertexproject/vtx-base-image:py38
vertexproject/vtx-base-image:py37
