My one stop vagrant based docker development environment

Will's Docker Development Environment

This is a one stop Vagrant for a docker based development environment. It comes with riak-cs, scala, zookeeper, kafka, oracle-java7, playframework, and sbt, and probably a bunch more. It will pull and set up images for absolutely everything.

Caution

This is personalized for my use: I recommend you clone your own copy, add this as upstream then use git fetch upstream; git merge upstream/master if you really want to follow it. It's not guaranteed to work all the time.

It also depends on a public registry image for the docker registry, so that's possibly a security risk.

Installation

Run Vagrant

vagrant up

Be prepared to wait while it gets Docker and Shipyard installed.

Reboot to install the Guest Additions:

vagrant reload

Run devenv install

Now that you have Guest additions, you should be able to install and run the scripts.

./bin/devenv install

Once this is done, reboot the VM to have Docker pick up the changes needed for Shipyard:

vagrant reload

Configure Shipyard

Once the server has rebooted, you should have shipyard up. The credentials are "shipyard/admin".

• Go to http://localhost:8005/hosts/ to see Shipyard's hosts.
• In the vagrant VM, ifconfig eth0 and look for "inet addr:10.0.2.15" -- enter the IP address.
• Check http://localhost:8005/images/ to verify the new images are there.

Usage

To start the server:

vagrant up
./bin/devenv start

To push the local images to registry:

./bin/devenv push

To export the registry:

./bin/devenv export

To import registry:

./bin/devenv import

Explanation

It does the following:

• Installs a Vagrant image from Phusion Passenger that is pre-built with the correct kernel (so you don't have to update and reboot).
• Installs the VirtualBox Guest Additions (4.3.2, but configurable).
• Downloads and sets up a docker image containing a private repository from the public Docker index (insecure, not ideal).
• Clones this github project from Github inside the Vagrant.
• Runs through a base Docker image that adds important bits to the out of the box Ubuntu 12.04 image.
• Pushes that base docker image to the private Docker repository.

This gives you a base starting point where all your other Dockerfile images can be built starting with:

FROM internal_registry:5000/base

in your Docker file.

History

It is based on the Relate-IQ Vagrantfile from the devenv blog post .
