rundeck

This repository contains the source for the Rundeck docker image.

Image details

Based on debian:stretch
Supervisor, Apache2, and rundeck
No SSH. Use docker exec or nsenter
If RUNDECK_PASSWORD is not supplied, it will be randomly generated and shown via stdout.
Supply the SERVER_URL or it will default to https://0.0.0.0:4443
As always, update passwords for pre-installed accounts
I sometimes get connection reset by peer errors when building the Docker image from the Rundeck download URL. Trying again usually works.

Automated build

docker pull jordan/rundeck

Usage

Start a new container and bind to host's port 4440

sudo docker run -p 4440:4440 -e SERVER_URL=http://MY.HOSTNAME.COM:4440 --name rundeck -t jordan/rundeck:latest

SSL

Start a new container, bind to host's port 4443, and enable SSL. Note: Make sure to update /etc/rundeck/ssl/keystore and /etc/rundeck/ssl/truststore for Production systems as the default certificate is self-signed. Set KEYSTORE_PASS & TRUSTSTORE_PASS to the passwords of those files. Both files can be volume mounted.

sudo docker run -p 4443:4443 -e SERVER_URL=https://MY.HOSTNAME.COM:4443 -e RUNDECK_WITH_SSL=true --name rundeck -t jordan/rundeck:latest

Rundeck plugins

To add (external) plugins, add the jars to the /opt/rundeck-plugins volume and they will be copied over to Rundeck's libext directory at container startup

DATABASE_URL - For use with (container) external database

RUNDECK_UID - The unix user ID to be used for the rundeck account when rundeck is booted.  This is useful for embedding this docker container into your development environment sharing files via docker volumes between the container and your host OS.  RUNDECK_GID also needs to be defined for this overload to take place.

RUNDECK_GID - The unix group ID to be used for the rundeck account when rundeck is booted.  This is useful for embedding this docker container into your development environment sharing files via docker volumes between the container and your host OS.
