The coupler between Dockerfiles and OpenStack (sort of).
The goal of this project is to run a Dockerfile and its associated files on a new server to pre-configure it.
Process:
- pre-load image to take an arg on what docker repo to download
- pre-install dockerstack on the machine
- create the instance (indicating which to create)
- download the docker repo
- run dockerstack builder
python builder.py ./repo - let the user rock and roll with their new thing.
Things to note:
-
docker has a mechanism to open ports. Perhaps the process needs to have the repos available to read in the dockerfile and export these to security groups.
-
environment variables might want to persist, maybe we should write to .profile
-
there's a notion of an on-complete script, and some docker setups use it to run an extra setup step. maybe we should find a way to have it run on first log in ?
-
as well, there's a way to make sure a command is run on every boot. we should find a good way to register this as well.
