Using Vagrant (Amazon EC2)
==========================
This page explains how to setup and run an Amazon EC2 instance from
your local machine. **Vagrant is not necessary to run Docker on
EC2.** You can follow the :ref:`ubuntu_linux` instructions installing
Docker on any EC2 instance running Ubuntu.
Installation
------------
.. include:: install_header.inc
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Docker can now be installed on Amazon EC2 with a single vagrant
command. Vagrant 1.1 or higher is required.
1. Install vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/ (or use your package manager)
2. Install the vagrant aws plugin
::
vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
3. Get the docker sources, this will give you the latest Vagrantfile.
::
git clone https://github.com/dotcloud/docker.git
4. Check your AWS environment.
Create a keypair specifically for EC2, give it a name and save it to your disk. *I usually store these in my ~/.ssh/ folder*.
Check that your default security group has an inbound rule to accept SSH (port 22) connections.
5. Inform Vagrant of your settings
Vagrant will read your access credentials from your environment, so we need to set them there first. Make sure
you have everything on amazon aws setup so you can (manually) deploy a new image to EC2.
::
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
export AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME=xxx
export AWS_SSH_PRIVKEY=xxx
The environment variables are:
* ``AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`` - The API key used to make requests to AWS
* ``AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`` - The secret key to make AWS API requests
* ``AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME`` - The name of the keypair used for this EC2 instance
* ``AWS_SSH_PRIVKEY`` - The path to the private key for the named keypair, for example ``~/.ssh/docker.pem``
You can check if they are set correctly by doing something like
::
echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
6. Do the magic!
::
vagrant up --provider=aws
If it stalls indefinitely on ``[default] Waiting for SSH to become available...``, Double check your default security
zone on AWS includes rights to SSH (port 22) to your container.
If you have an advanced AWS setup, you might want to have a look at https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws
7. Connect to your machine
.. code-block:: bash
vagrant ssh
8. Your first command
Now you are in the VM, run docker
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker
Continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
