A quick way to setup a docker test environment. This tool
- Creates a VM with the Ubuntu 14.04 (hashcorp/trusty box)
- Pulls the latest docker release, fixes a few permissions and installs docker-compose.
- Optional: Pulls a small example container (alpine linux)
Features
- Tested on: Mac 10.10 +Virtualbox 4.3.30 +Vagrant 1.7.4 Windows 8 +Virtual 4.3.8 + Vagrant 1.7.2
- Works with outgoing proxies
Why
- This pattern is small, simple and easy to duplicate into other projects.
- Reason: docker-machine was a bit too complex and didn't work for me. Boot2docker is no longer supported.
Requirements
- Vagrant, virtualbox
- If proxies are needed the http_proxy environment variable is set and vagrant-proxyconf module is installed.
vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# play with docker:
docker images
docker run --rm -it alpine sh
# /vagrant gives accces to the host folder
ls /vagrant
. Use a more lightweight base image than Ubuntu 14.04 . Mount/copy over default .bashrc from the host
