Automatically Start Containers
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
You can use your Docker containers with process managers like ``upstart``,
|
|
``systemd`` and ``supervisor``.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If you want a process manager to manage your containers you will need to run
|
|
the docker daemon with the ``-r=false`` so that docker will not automatically
|
|
restart your containers when the host is restarted.
|
|
|
|
When you have finished setting up your image and are happy with your
|
|
running container, you can then attach a process manager to manage
|
|
it. When your run ``docker start -a`` docker will automatically attach
|
|
to the running container, or start it if needed and forward all signals
|
|
so that the process manager can detect when a container stops and correctly
|
|
restart it.
|
|
|
|
Here are a few sample scripts for systemd and upstart to integrate with docker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sample Upstart Script
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
In this example we've already created a container to run Redis with
|
|
``--name redis_server``. To create an upstart script for our container,
|
|
we create a file named ``/etc/init/redis.conf`` and place the following
|
|
into it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
description "Redis container"
|
|
author "Me"
|
|
start on filesystem and started docker
|
|
stop on runlevel [!2345]
|
|
respawn
|
|
script
|
|
/usr/bin/docker start -a redis_server
|
|
end script
|
|
|
|
Next, we have to configure docker so that it's run with the option ``-r=false``.
|
|
Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'DOCKER_OPTS=\"-r=false\"' > /etc/default/docker"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sample systemd Script
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
