Example using Docker

German / Deutsch

This project creates a VM with the application in a Docker container.

Vagrant

Vagrant starts a VM, installs Docker and then runs the Docker Container on the VM.

To run:

• Install Vagrant as discussed at http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html
• Install Virtual Box from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Change to the directory containing this README.md and run vagrant up

The result should be:

• A new VirtualBox VM is fired up by Vagrant
• Docker is installed in the VM
• You can access the application at http://localhost:8090/

Docker Machine

Docker Machine installs Docker on a VM. Then other tools like Docker Compose can use Docker as if it was running on a local machine.

To run:

• Install Virtual Box from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Install Docker, see https://docs.docker.com/installation/
• Install Docker Machine, see https://docs.docker.com/machine/#installation
• Execute docker-machine create --virtualbox-memory "4096" --driver virtualbox dev . This will create a new environment called devwith Docker Machine. It will be virtual machine in Virtual Box with 4GB RAM.
  • Execute eval "$(docker-machine env dev)" (Linux / Mac OS X) or docker-machine.exe env --shell powershell dev (Windows, Powershell) / docker-machine.exe env --shell cmd dev (Windows, cmd.exe). Now the docker tool will use the newly created virtual machine as environment.
• Change to this directory and run
  • docker build -t java java
  • docker build -t user-registration user-registration
  • docker run -p 8080:8080 user-registration

The result should be:

• A new VirtualBox VM with a Docker installation
• The application running on the VM

You can find the IP adress of the machine using docker-machine ip dev . Tomcat is available at port 8080.
