Quick Install on Linux

Assuming root on Ubuntu 12.10 you can just run:

curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/dotcloud/docker/master/contrib/install.sh | bash

As you can see by inspecting the URL, this will:

  1. Use apt-get to install LXC
  2. Download the latest binary
  3. Install client and server into /usr/local/bin
  4. Create simple Upstart script if one does not exist
  5. Start the server

You have no images to bootstrap a container from, but you can download a public base image of Ubuntu 12.10 easily with:

docker pull base

Vagrant Usage

Assuming you are in a directory with the docker sources. (e.g. by git clone this repo).

  1. Install Vagrant from http://vagrantup.com
  2. Run vagrant up. This will take a few minutes as it does the following:
    • Download Quantal64 base box
    • Kick off Puppet to do:
      • Download & untar most recent docker binary tarball to vagrant homedir.
      • Debootstrap to /var/lib/docker/images/ubuntu.
      • Install & run dockerd as service.
      • Put docker in /usr/local/bin.
      • Put latest Go toolchain in /usr/local/go.

Sample run output:

When this has successfully completed, you should be able to get into your new system with vagrant ssh and use docker:

$ vagrant ssh

Proof of concept: building a python web app

$ docker import shykes/pybuilder

$ URL=http://github.com/shykes/helloflask/archive/master.tar.gz
$ BUILD_JOB=$(docker run -t shykes/pybuilder:11d4f58638a72935 /usr/local/bin/buildapp $URL)

$ docker attach $BUILD_JOB
[...]

$ BUILD_IMG=$(docker commit $BUILD_JOB _/builds/github.com/hykes/helloflask/master)

$ WEB_WORKER=$(docker run -p 5000 $BUILD_IMG /usr/local/bin/runapp)

$ docker logs $WEB_WORKER
