1. Deploying
with Docker

a.k.a. provisioning docker containers and images with Chef
Deploying
with Docker
(or not)

6. Why do we still need
<insert tool here>?

7. But… we have
Dockerfiles!

9. It’s a shell-script?
$ cat SomeApp/Dockerfile
FROM ubuntu:13.10
RUN apt-get update; apt-get install apache
RUN sed ’s/something/else/‘ /etc/apache/httpd.conf
ADD shell-script.sh
RUN shell-script.sh
RUN [‘/usr/bin/apachectl’, ‘start’]

10. I ♥ #!/bin/bash
. oo # https://raw.githubusercontent.com/
# ewindisch/bashoo/master/lib/oo
# Classes are created implicitly through functions
function MsgWriter::new {
self=$1; shift
msg=$1; shift
instance_var $self msg $msg
}
function MsgWriter::write {
self=$1; shift
echo $($self.msg)
}
new terminal is MsgWriter “Hello World”
terminal.write

45. Does it converge?
$ docker build —rm .
$ echo $? # pass or fail
(This is great use of Docker as an
alternative to VMs for testing Chef recipes
targeting non-Docker production systems)

46. Deploying Docker
(for real this time)

47. #!/bin/bash -x
aws ec2 run-instances
--image-id ami-e55a648c
--key-name my-key
--user-data "#include https://get.docker.io”
ip=$(aws ec2 describe-instances
--output json
--filter Name=instance-state-name,Values=running | python
-c 'import json; import sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)
[“Reservations”][0]["Instances"][0]["PublicIpAddress"]')
ssh ubuntu@$ip sudo docker run cirros

48. # using https://github.com/bflad/chef-docker
$ cat cookbooks/docker-registry/default.rb
# Pull latest image
docker_image 'samalba/docker-registry'
!
# Run container exposing ports
docker_container 'samalba/docker-registry' do
detach true
port '5000:5000'
env 'SETTINGS_FLAVOR=local'
volume '/mnt/docker:/docker-storage'
end
$ knife ec2 server create # yada yada yada

49. docker::run { 'helloworld':
image => 'base',

hello world; sleep 1; done"',

is Easy

56. Managing them
SUCKS
needs improvement

57. This is probably
material for another
talk…

• serf
• skydock
• others?
