This version may sometimes be out of date. 17 18 ## Requirements 19 20 To use this guide you'll need a working installation of Puppet from 21 [Puppet Labs](https://puppetlabs.com) . 22 23 The module also currently uses the official PPA so only works with 24 Ubuntu. 25 26 ## Installation 27 28 The module is available on the [Puppet 29 Forge](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/garethr/docker/) and can be 30 installed using the built-in module tool. 31 32 $ puppet module install garethr/docker 33 34 It can also be found on 35 [GitHub](https://github.com/garethr/garethr-docker) if you would rather 36 download the source. 37 38 ## Usage 39 40 The module provides a puppet class for installing Docker and two defined 41 types for managing images and containers. 42 43 ### Installation 44 45 include 'docker' 46 47 ### Images 48 49 The next step is probably to install a Docker image. For this, we have a 50 defined type which can be used like so: 51 52 docker::image { 'ubuntu': } 53 54 This is equivalent to running: 55 56 $ docker pull ubuntu 57 58 Note that it will only be downloaded if an image of that name does not 59 already exist. This is downloading a large binary so on first run can 60 take a while. For that reason this define turns off the default 5 minute 61 timeout for the exec type. Note that you can also remove images you no 62 longer need with: 63 64 docker::image { 'ubuntu': 65 ensure => 'absent', 66 } 67 68 ### Containers 69 70 Now you have an image where you can run commands within a container 71 managed by Docker. 72 73 docker::run { 'helloworld': 74 image => 'ubuntu', 75 command => '/bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"', 76 } 77 78 This is equivalent to running the following command, but under upstart: 79 80 $ docker run -d ubuntu /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done" 81 82 Run also contains a number of optional parameters: 83 84 docker::run { 'helloworld': 85 image => 'ubuntu', 86 command => '/bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"', 87 ports => ['4444', '4555'], 88 volumes => ['/var/lib/couchdb', '/var/log'], 89 volumes_from => '6446ea52fbc9', 90 memory_limit => 10485760, # bytes 91 username => 'example', 92 hostname => 'example.com', 93 env => ['FOO=BAR', 'FOO2=BAR2'], 94 dns => ['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4'], 95 } 96 97 > *Note:* 98 > The `ports`, `env`, `dns` and `volumes` attributes can be set with either a single 99 > string or as above with an array of values.
