The teuthology container hack is improved by adding a flag to retrieve packages from a user specified repository instead of gitbuilder.ceph.com. The user can build packages from sources and run a job, which will implicitly save a docker image with the package installed. The second time the same job is run, it will go faster because it reuses the image. For instance the following job:
machine_type: container
os_type: ubuntu
os_version: "14.04"
suite_path: /home/loic/software/ceph/ceph-qa-suite
roles:
- - mon.a
- osd.0
- osd.1
- client.0
