Dolater.io lets you execute background jobs on a remote docker server.
You'll need docker-compose to run the services and its dependencies easily. To run all services at once use, run:
docker-compose up -d --no-recreate
This will run the API server as well as one dolater.io worker. You can always scale the amount of workers by using docker-compose scale worker=N command.
Now it's all ready to use.
Since dolater.io is running in docker, you'll need to know your docker host IP address to access it. If you use boot2docker, run boot2docker ip to find out.
Create a worker using our parrot docker image:
curl http://DOCKERHOST:7000/v1/workers -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"docker_image": "dolaterio/parrot"}'
You'll get a JSON response back with the information of the worker you just created. Use its id to create jobs on it:
curl http://DOCKERHOST:7000/v1/jobs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"worker_id": WORKER_ID, "stdin": "Hello world!"}'
It will return a new JSON containing, between others, the id of the job. You can request dolater.io for the current state of the job:
curl http://DOCKERHOST:7000/v1/jobs/JOB_ID
