This is a generic Containers broker for the Cloud Foundry v2 services API.
This service broker allows users to provision services that runs inside a compatible container backend and bind applications to the service. The management tasks that the broker can perform are:
- Provision a service container with random credentials and service arbitrary parameters
- Bind a service container to an application:
- Expose the credentials to access the provisioned service (see CREDENTIALS.md for details)
- Provide a syslog drain service for your application logs (see SYSLOG_DRAIN.md for details)
- Unbind a service container from an application
- Unprovision a service container
- Expose a service container management dashboard
More details can be found at this Pivotal P.O.V Blog post.
This is not presently a production ready service broker. This is a work in progress. It is suitable for experimentation and may not become supported in the future.
This service broker does not include any container backend. Instead, it is meant to be deployed alongside any compatible container backend, which it manages:
- Docker: Instructions to configure the service broker with a Docker backend can be found at DOCKER.md.
Configure the application settings according to the instructions found at SETTINGS.md.
Start the service broker:
bundle
bundle exec rackup
The service broker will listen by default at port 9292. View the catalog API at http://localhost:9292/v2/catalog. The basic auth username is containers and secret is secret.
This step is optional, you can use the already built Docker image located at the Docker Hub Registry.
If you want to create locally the image frodenas/cf-containers-broker
(Dockerfile) execute the following
command on a local cloned cf-containers-broker repository:
docker build -t frodenas/cf-containers-broker .
To run the image and bind it to host port 80:
docker run -d --name cf-containers-broker \
--publish 80:80 \
--volume /var/run:/var/run \
frodenas/cf-containers-broker
Some aspects of configuration can be overridden with environment variables. See config/settings.yml for documentation and environment variables.
docker run -d --name cf-containers-broker \
--publish 80:80 \
--volume /var/run:/var/run \
-e BROKER_USERNAME=broker \
-e BROKER_PASSWORD=password \
-e EXTERNAL_HOST=localhost \
frodenas/cf-containers-broker
If you want to override the entire configuration, then create a directory with the configuration files, and mount this directory into the container's /config directory:
mkdir -p /tmp/cf-containers-broker/config
cp config/settings.yml /tmp/cf-containers-broker/config
cp config/unicorn.conf.rb /tmp/cf-containers-broker/config
vi /tmp/cf-containers-broker/config/settings.yml
docker run -d --name cf-containers-broker \
--publish 80:80 \
--volume /var/run:/var/run \
--volume /tmp/cf-containers-broker/config:/config \
frodenas/cf-containers-broker
If you want to expose the application logs, create a host directory and mount the container's directory /app/log
into the previous host directory:
mkdir -p /tmp/cf-containers-broker/logs
docker run -d --name cf-containers-broker \
--publish 80:80 \
--volume /var/run:/var/run \
--volume /tmp/cf-containers-broker/logs:/app/log \
frodenas/cf-containers-broker
This service broker can be deployed alongside:
- Docker CF-BOSH release if you plan to use Docker as backend.
Add the service broker to Cloud Foundry as described by the service broker documentation.
A quick way to register the service broker and to enable all service offerings is running:
cf create-service-broker docker-broker containers secret http://<BROKER IP ADDRESS>
while read p __; do
cf enable-service-access "$p";
done < <(cf service-access | awk '/orgs/{y=1;next}y && NF' | sort | uniq)
The way that each service is configured determines how binding credentials are generated.
A service that exposes only a single port and has no other credentials configuration will include the minimal host and port in its credentials:
{ "host": "10.11.12.13", "port": 61234, "ports": ["8080/tcp": 61234] }In the example above, the container exposed an internal port 8080 and it was bound to port 61234 on the host machine 10.11.12.13.
If a service exposes more than a single port, then you must specify the port you want to bind using the credentials.uri.port property,
otherwise the binding will not contain a port.
{ "host": "10.11.12.13", "port": 61234, "ports": ["8080/tcp": 61234, "8081/tcp": 61235] }In the example above, the container exposed internal ports 8080 and 8081, and it was bound to port 61234 on the
host machine 10.11.12.13 because the credentials.uri.port property was set to 8080/tcp.
For more details, see the CREDENTIALS.md file.
Optionally, each exposed host port for an instantiated container will passed into the container via environment variables, if you enable the enable_host_port_envvar: true setting.
If a Docker image exposes an internal port 5432, then each instantiated container will be provided a DOCKER_HOST_PORT_5432 environment variable containing the host's port allocation.
Implementation detail: In order to support this feature, provisioning new Docker containers requires two steps:
- Instantiate a Docker container and allow Docker to allocate host ports.
- Restart the Docker container with the additional
DOCKER_HOST_PORT_nnnnenvironment variables.
If you wish to enable this feature, provide enable_host_port_envvar: true in config/settings.yml.
When new images become available or configuration of the plans change it can become desirable to restart the running containers to pick up the latest version of their image and/or update their configuration.
bin/update_all_containers will attempt to find all running containers managed by the broker and restart them with the latest configuration.
The mapping between running containers and configured plans is achieved by adding the labels plan_id and instance_id to the containers at create time. Containers that don't have these labels will be ignored by the update script.
If you are updating cf-containers-broker from an older version that didn't add the required labels you can force the broker to recreate the containers via cf update-service <service-id>. After this the labels will be available and the bin/update_all_containers script will be able to identify the containers for automatic updating.
In order for cf update-service <service-id> to work the service must declare plan_updateable: true.
To run all specs:
bundle
bundle exec rake spec
