Docker life-cycle management in xCAT
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
The Docker linux container technology is currently very popular. xCAT can help managing Docker containers. xCAT, as a system management tool has the natural advantage for supporting multiple operating systems, multiple architectures and large scale clusters.
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to use xCAT for docker management, from Docker Host setup to docker container operationis.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The document is based on **Docker Version 1.10.x** and **Docker API version 1.22.** And the Docker Host is based on **ubuntu14.04.3 x86_64**. At the time of this writing (February 2016), docker host images are not available for **ppc64** architecture from docker.org. You can search online to find them or build your own.
|
|
|
|
Setting up Docker Host
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The **Docker Host** is the bare metal server or virtual machine where Docker containers can run. It will be called *dockerhost* in the following sections.
|
|
|
|
The *dockerhost* at a minimum must provide the following:
|
|
|
|
* An Operating System for running docker daemon
|
|
* The certification related files to be used by Docker service for trusted connection.
|
|
|
|
Preparing osimage for docker host
|
|
`````````````````````````````````
|
|
The osimage represents the image of the Operating System which will be deployed on the dockerhost.
|
|
|
|
Copy files out from DVDs/ISOs and generate
|
|
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
copycds ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso
|
|
|
|
Create pkglist and otherpkglist of osimage for dockerhost
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
The pkglist file should contain the following: ::
|
|
|
|
# cat /install/custom/ubuntu1404/ubuntu1404.pkglist
|
|
openssh-server
|
|
ntp
|
|
gawk
|
|
nfs-common
|
|
snmpd
|
|
bridge-utils
|
|
|
|
The otherpkglist file should contain the following: ::
|
|
|
|
# cat /install/custom/ubuntu1404/ubuntu1404_docker.pkglist
|
|
docker-engine
|
|
|
|
Create the osimage for dockerhost
|
|
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
The osimage for dockerhost will be like this: ::
|
|
|
|
# lsdef -t osimage ub14.04.03-x86_64-dockerhost
|
|
Object name: ub14.04.03-x86_64-dockerhost
|
|
imagetype=linux
|
|
osarch=x86_64
|
|
osname=Linux
|
|
osvers=ubuntu14.04.3
|
|
otherpkgdir=https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main,http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main
|
|
otherpkglist=/install/custom/ubuntu1404/ubuntu1404_docker.pkglist
|
|
pkgdir=/install/ubuntu14.04.3/x86_64
|
|
pkglist=/install/custom/ubuntu1404/ubuntu1404.pkglist
|
|
profile=compute
|
|
provmethod=install
|
|
template=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu/compute.tmpl
|
|
|
|
Preparing setup trust connection for docker service and create docker network object
|
|
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
|
|
Currently, a customer defined network object is needed when create a docker container with static IP address, it can be done with the command: ::
|
|
|
|
chdef host01 -p postbootscripts="setupdockerhost <netobj_name>=<subnet>/<netmask>@<gateway>[:nicname]"
|
|
|
|
* netobj_name: the network object to be created, it will be used in *dockernics* when creating docker container
|
|
* subnet/netmask@gateway: the network which the IP address of docker container running on the docker host must be located in. If *nicname* is specified, the *subnet/netmask* must be the subnet of the nic *nicname* located in. And *gateway* shall be the IP address of the nic *nicname*.
|
|
* nicname: the physical nic name which will be attached to the network object
|
|
|
|
For example, a network object *mynet0* with subnet *10.0.0.0/16* and gateway *10.0.101.1* on nic *eth0* can be created with the command: ::
|
|
|
|
chdef host01 -p postbootscripts="setupdockerhost mynet0=10.0.0.0/16@10.0.101.1:eth0"
|
|
|
|
Start OS provisioning for dockerhost
|

|
Reference :ref:`Initialize the Compute for Deployment<deploy_os>` for how to finish an OS deployment.
|
|
|
|
Docker instance management
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
After the dockerhost is ready, a docker instance can be managed through xCAT commands. In xCAT, a docker instance is represented by a node whose definition can be like this: ::
|
|
|
|
# lsdef host01c01
|
|
Object name: host01c01
|
|
dockerhost=host01:2375
|
|
dockernics=mynet0
|
|
groups=docker,all
|
|
ip=10.0.120.1
|
|
mac=02:42:0a:00:78:01
|
|
mgt=docker
|
|
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
|
|
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
|
|
|
|
The command :doc:`mkdef </guides/admin-guides/references/man1/mkdef.1>` or :doc:`chdef </guides/admin-guides/references/man1/chdef.1>` can be used to create a new docker instance node or change the node attributes. Specify any available unused ip address for *ip* attribute.
|
|
|
|
After docker instance node is defined, use command `makehosts host01c01` to add node *host01c01* and its IP address *10.0.120.1* into /etc/hosts.
|
|
|
|
Create docker instance
|
|
``````````````````````
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
mkdocker <node> [image=<image_name> [command=<command>] [dockerflag=<docker_flags>]]
|
|
|
|
* node - The node object which represents the docker instance
|
|
* image - The image name that the docker instance will use
|
|
* command - The command that the docker will run
|
|
* dockerflag - A JSON string which will be used as parameters to create a docker. Reference `docker API v1.22 <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.22/>`_ for more information about which parameters can be specified for "dockerflag".
|
|
|
|
To create the docker instance *host01c01* with image *ubuntu* and command */bin/bash*, use: ::
|
|
|
|
mkdocker host01c01 image=ubuntu command=/bin/bash dockerflag="{\"AttachStdin\":true,\"AttachStdout\":true,\"AttachStderr\":true,\"OpenStdin\":true}"
|
|
|
|
Remove docker instance
|
|
``````````````````````
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
rmdocker <node>
|
|
|
|
The command **rmdocker host01c01** can be used to remove the docker instance *host01c01*.
|
|
|
|
List docker information
|
|
```````````````````````
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
lsdocker <dockerhost|node> [-l|--logs]
|
|
|
|
To list all the running docker instances on the dockerhost *host01*, use **lsdocker host01**.
|
|
|
|
To list the info of docker instance *host01c01*, use **lsdocker host01c01**.
|
|
|
|
To get log info of docker instance *host01c01*, use **lsdocker host01c01 --logs**.
|
|
|
|

|
`````````````````````
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
rpower <node> start
|
|
|
