Directions on how to run the ActiveStack Docker containers

OSX and Windows Setup

If you are on windows or OSX, use Docker Toolbox to install docker client, docker-machine, docker-compose, and VirtualBox on you machine.

Linux Setup

• docker client
• docker-machine
• docker-compose

Run the images images

0. Run "Docker Quickstart Terminal". In the Docker terminal:
1. Clone ActiveStack Docker

• git clone git@github.com:activestack/ActiveServerDockerConfig.git

3. Change directories to ActiveServerDockerConfig

• cd ActiveServerDockerConfig/simple for single docker instances for each component (activeserver, mysql, redis, rabbitmq)
• cd ActiveServerDockerConfig/clustred for some components in a cluster (currently rabbitmq. Others comming soon ...)

4. Start the containers

• docker-compose up foreground
• docker-compose up -d daemon

Helpful Commands

From within a Docker terminal:

• docker-machine ip dev - To see which ports the containers are running on
• docker ps - Lists all running containers
• sudo docker exec -i -t <container-d> bash - To attach to bash in a particular running container

Other Notes

• The database files are stored within the MySQL Docker container, which could be useful to create a container with seed data for dev.
