Collection of Dockerfiles

Dockerfell

A collection of Dockerfiles for various things that do not have a home of their own yet.

Obtain Docker

Install docker if you haven't already. On OS X, the method I prefer is to utilize Homebrew:

1. brew install docker
2. brew install docker-machine
3. docker-machine help create and look for the --driver option for all possible values
4. docker-machine create --driver vmwarefusion dev or with whatever driver you use
5. eval $(docker-machine env dev) to allow your local docker client to connect to the docker running inside the virtual machine
6. docker ps to check that your docker can connect
7. Go into the directory you want, which contains a Dockerfile, and check out its README file.

Test Image

Pull down a small image to testdrive your setup:

1. Ensure that your environment variables are setup: env | grep DOCKER; otherwise, eval $(docker-machine env dev)
2. docker run -i -t gliderlabs/alpine:3.1 /bin/sh
3. And now you'll be placed inside an ephemeral machine
4. Exit the shell to stop the container; none of your changes will be kept
