docker-web

Host Setup and Install

Clone this project, cd into the project dir and then:

1. Add a host record on your Mac for the MySQL host:

$ echo "$(ifconfig $(VBoxManage showvminfo boot2docker-vm --machinereadable | grep hostonlyadapter | cut -d '"' -f 2) | grep inet | cut -d ' ' -f 2) localbox" >> /etc/hosts

2. Add alias for the sb.sh wrapper tools

$ echo 'alias sb="pwd/sb.sh"' >> ~/.bash_profile

3. Build Docker Image

$ docker build -t sitback/web .

4. Expose local MySQL Host

Change your DB host in settings.php (or equvilant) from 127.0.0.1|localhost to localbox

4. MySQL Privilages

Grant you mysql user access from the boot2docker VM IP

Usage

####### SB Wrapper

The sb.sh is very simple CLI wrapper for common docker tasks.

It is not an orchastration tool, other projects do that. sb.sh should only be:

• a 'time saver'
• intutive set of limited commands
• easy to use for non 'backend' or fullstack devs
• optional... docker cli is good anyway right :-)

Current functionality:

• Run a prodject in a container:

  $ cd my-product/doc-root

  $ sb [name] start (will run a container and mount your site doc-root)

  $ sb [name] stop

  $ sb [name] restart (stops, kills an old container and start a new one)

  $ sb [name] exec [command] (exec a commain interactively in the container)

Networking

You're vbox only needs the default vboxnet0 network and the setting should look like this:

Advanced

Rambling notes, wishfully hoping I might help future incarnations of me

Remove containers

docker stop $(docker ps -q)

docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

remove unused images

docker rmi $(docker images --filter dangling=true --quiet)

Remove images

docker rmi ID (you probalby want to keep base images like CentOS)

Build

docker build -t web .

• '-t' = tag/title
• '.' = dir/url of Dockerfile

Run

docker run -d -p 8080:80 docker/web

Run in docker

docker run -i -t docker/web /bin/bash

Connect to Container (boot2docker)

Determine boot2docker IP to point your domain to:

$ boot2docker ip

You could do something like: echo "$(boot2docker ip) mysite.com" >> /etc/hosts

Using Xdebug

Port forward: VBoxManage controlvm boot2docker-vm natpf1 "xdebug,tcp,127.0.0.1,9000,,9000"

MySQL

Symlink you mysql data dir:

$ ln -s /usr/local/var/mysql /Users/huders2000/mysql

Create a data only container, mounting your simlink

$ docker create --name mysql_data -v /Users/huders2000/mysql mysql $ docker create --name mysql_data -v /usr/local/var/mysql/ mysql:5.5

Pull and run the MySQL container mounting the volume fromt the mysql_data container

$ docker run --name mysql --volumes-from mysql_data -v /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=goldcat99 -d -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.5

@todo

• HAProxy to support multiple container projects
• Switch in sb.sh wrapper to choose PHP version
• Possibly add coding

boot2docket stuff

Port forward:

$ VBoxManage controlvm boot2docker-vm natpf1 "mysql,tcp,127.0.0.1,3306,,3306"

Remove Port Foward:

$ VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 delete "mysql"
