Host Integration
================
You can use your Docker containers with process managers like ``upstart``,
``systemd`` and ``supervisor``.
Introduction
------------
When you have finished setting up your image and are happy with your
running container, you may want to use a process manager to manage
it. To help with this, we provide a simple image: ``creack/manager:min``
This image takes the container ID as parameter. We also can specify
the kind of process manager and metadata like *Author* and
*Description*. The output will will be text suitable for a
configuration file, echoed to stdout. It is up to you to create the
.conf file (for `upstart
<http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#job-configuration-file>`_) or
.service file (for `systemd
<http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.service.html>`_) and
put it in the right place for your system.
Usage
-----
.. code-block:: bash
docker run creack/manager:min [OPTIONS] <container id>
.. program:: docker run creack/manager:min
.. cmdoption:: -a="<none>"
Author of the image
.. cmdoption:: -d="<none>"
Description of the image
.. cmdoption:: -t="upstart"
Type of manager requested: ``upstart`` or ``systemd``
Example Output
..............
.. code-block:: bash
docker run creack/manager:min -t="systemd" b28605f2f9a4
[Unit]
Description=<none>
Author=<none>
After=docker.service
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a b28605f2f9a4
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 b28605f2f9a4
[Install]
WantedBy=local.target
Development
-----------
The image ``creack/manager:min`` is a ``busybox`` base with the
compiled binary of ``manager.go`` as the :ref:`Entrypoint
<entrypoint_def>`. It is meant to be light and fast to download.
If you would like to change or add things, you can download the full
``creack/manager`` repository that contains ``creack/manager:min`` and
``creack/manager:dev``.
The Dockerfiles and the sources are available in
`/contrib/host_integration
<https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/tree/master/contrib/host_integration>`_.
Upstart
-------
Upstart is the default process manager. The generated script will
start the container after the ``docker`` daemon. If the container
dies, it will respawn. Start/Restart/Stop/Reload are
supported. Reload will send a SIGHUP to the container.
Example (``upstart`` on Debian)
...............................
.. code-block:: bash
CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)
docker run creack/manager:min -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /etc/init/firefoxvnc.conf
You can now ``start firefoxvnc`` or ``stop firefoxvnc`` and if the container
dies for some reason, upstart will restart it.
Systemd
-------
In order to generate a systemd script, we need to use the ``-t``
option. The generated script will start the container after docker
daemon. If the container dies, it will respawn.
``Start/Restart/Reload/Stop`` are supported.
Example (``systemd`` on Fedora)
...............................
.. code-block:: bash
CID=$(docker run -d creack/firefo-vnc)
docker run creack/manager:min -t systemd -a 'Guillaume J. Charmes <guillaume@dotcloud.com>' -d 'Awesome Firefox in VLC' $CID > /usr/lib/systemd/system/firefoxvnc.service
You can now run ``systemctl start firefoxvnc`` or ``systemctl stop
firefoxvnc`` and if the container dies for some reason, ``systemd``
will restart it.
