uberany

Summary

The idea is to point this Docker at any git repo and have it run the project.

In order for this to work, the project should have a run.sh to run the code. If installation or setup for the code is required, an optional build.sh can be used which will be run straight after the project is checked out into the Container.

It also assumes that the project uses one of:

• NodeJS & npm (v 0.10.25/v 1.4.21)
• Python (v 2.7.9)
• Java (v 1.8.0-66-b17)
• Clojure (v 2.5.3)
• Ruby (v 2.?)

Deployment

The git repo is ALWAYS checked out to the /home/project directory in the Container. It does not use the repo name as a directory. Restarting an existing container will re-start the project - it will not re-clone or re-run the build.sh file from the git repo unless you delete the /home/project directory before the restart.

Build.sh

A build.sh for a NodeJS project can be as simple as

#!/bin/bash

npm install

Run.sh

Equally, the run script could be

#!/bin/bash

node app.js

Build Container

Checkout the uberany project into a folder and then build the Docker Container using:

docker build -t uberany .

Usage

You can then run the Docker using the following command.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 --name ????? -e giturl=??? uberany

This will run a Container in detached mode - perfect for use with web based apps. For command line/bash based apps we could use:

docker run -t -i --name ????? -e giturl=??? uberany

This assumes that the git hub repo will be accessible without a user and password being supplied. If you want to use a login & password, specify it as part of the run command.

docker run -t -i --name ????? -e giturl=??? -e username=XXXX -e password=YYYY uberany

By default UberAny will use the master branch of the specified repo. If you want to use another add

-e branch=?????

so the command could be

docker run -t -i --name ????? -e giturl=??? -e username=XXXX -e password=YYYY -e branch=???? uberany

Notes

• You need to specify the working name of the container and the HTTPS path to the git repo you want to clone from.
• Only ports 3000, 8080 & 80 are exposed by Docker. If you want to open others, you will need to modify the Dockerfile prior to building the Container.
• You still need to map the ports when you start the Container!
• Remember 'localhost' won't work - you will need the Container IP!
