This project builds a docker container for running fabric8
If you have docker installed you should be able to try it out via
docker run -p 8181 -d -t fabric8/fabric8
You can pass in various environment variables to customise how a fabric is created or joined; or specify stand alone mode if required etc.
If you are on OS X then see How to use Docker on OS X.
e.g. to startup 5 Fabric8 instances; each will get their own IP address etc:
docker run -d -p 8181 fabric8/fabric8
docker run -d -p 8181 fabric8/fabric8
docker run -d -p 8181 fabric8/fabric8
docker run -d -p 8181 fabric8/fabric8
docker run -d -p 8181 fabric8/fabric8
You can then run docker attach or docker logs to get the logs at any time.
Run docker ps to see all the running containers or docker inspect $containerID to view the IP address and details of a container
We have a Docker Index trusted build setup to automatically rebuild the fabric8/fabric8 container whenever the Dockerfile is updated, so you shouldn't have to rebuild it locally. But if you want to, here's now to do it...
Once you have installed docker you should be able to create the containers via the following:
If you are on OS X then see How to use Docker on OS X.
git clone git@github.com:fabric8io/fabric8-docker.git
cd fabric8-docker
./build.sh
The fabric8 container should then build.
To spin up a shell in one of the containers try:
docker run -p 8181 -i -t fabric8:fabric8 /bin/bash
You can then noodle around the container and run stuff & look at files etc.
