docker-formula

Extensible formula to manage Docker on MacOS, Windows, and GNU/Linux. Currently supports:

The default docker.software and docker.compose.software states support:

The other states support container managmement.

3. Available Meta states

3.1. docker

Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).

This state installs the Docker solution (see https://docs.docker.io)

3.2. docker.clean

Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).

Stop Docker daemon and remove docker packages ('docker', 'docker-engine', 'docker-ce', etc) on Linux. To protect OS integrity, this state won’t remove packages listed as dependencies (i.e. python is kept).

3.3. docker.software.package.repo

Configures the upstream Docker’s repo on RedHat/Debian OS.

3.4. docker.software.package.repo.clean

This state removes upstream Docker package repository only, on RedHat/Debian OS.

3.5. docker.software

This state installs Docker (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install and https://docs.docker.com/desktop/)

3.6. docker.software.service

This state installs Dockerd daemon on Linux (systemd support).

3.7. docker.software.service.clean

This state stops Dockerd daemon on Linux (systemd support).

3.8. docker.software.config

This state overrides default Docker options (i.e. /etc/default/docker):

docker:
  pkg:
    docker:
      config:
        - DOCKER_OPTS="-s btrfs --dns 8.8.8.8"
        - export http_proxy="http://172.17.42.1:3128"

3.9. docker.software.config.clean

This state uninstalls Docker overrides (i.e. /etc/default/docker).

3.10. docker.software.clean

This state uninstalls Docker software.

3.11. docker.containers

Pulls and runs a number of docker containers. See docker container API for docker.containers options:

docker:
  containers:
    running:
      - prometheus_simple
      - prometheus_detail

    prometheus_simple:
      image: "prom/prometheus:v1.7.1"

    prometheus_detail:
      image: "prom/prometheus:v1.7.1"
      # see https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/containers.html

3.12. docker.compose

Saltstack dockercompose module state support (See https://docs.saltstack.com/en/2018.3/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.dockercompose.html).

3.13. docker.compose.ng

The intent is to provide an interface similar to the specification provided by docker-compose. The hope is that you may provide pillar data similar to that which you would use to define services with docker-compose. The assumption is that you are already using pillar data and salt formulae to represent the state of your existing infrastructure.

No real effort had been made to support every possible feature of docker-compose. Rather, we prefer the syntax provided by the docker-compose whenever it is reasonable for the sake of simplicity.

It is worth noting that we have added one attribute which is decidedly absent from the docker-compose specification. That attribute is dvc. This is a boolean attribute which allows us to define data only volume containers which can not be represented with the docker.software.service.running state since they are not intended to include a long living service inside the container.

See the included pillar.example for a representative pillar data block. To use this formula, you might target a host with the following pillar:

docker:
  compose:
    ng:
      registry-datastore:
        dvc: true
        # image: &registry_image 'docker.io/registry:latest' ## Fedora
        image: &registry_image 'registry:latest'
        container_name: &dvc 'registry-datastore'
        command: echo *dvc data volume container
        volumes:
          - &datapath '/registry'
      registry-service:
        image: *registry_image
        container_name: 'registry-service'
        volumes_from:
          - *dvc
        environment:
          SETTINGS_FLAVOR: 'local'
          STORAGE_PATH: *datapath
          SEARCH_BACKEND: 'sqlalchemy'
          REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY: '/registry'
        ports:
          - 127.0.0.1:5000:5000
        # restart: 'always'    # compose v1.9
        deploy:                # compose v3
          restart_policy:
            condition: on-failure
            delay: 5s
            max_attempts: 3
            window: 120s
      nginx-latest:
        # image: 'docker.io/nginx:latest'  ##Fedora
        image: 'nginx:latest'
        container_name: 'nginx-latest'
        links:
          - 'registry-service:registry'
        ports:
          - '80:80'
          - '443:443'
        volumes:
          - /srv/docker-registry/nginx/:/etc/nginx/conf.d
          - /srv/docker-registry/auth/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/auth
          - /srv/docker-registry/certs/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/certs
        working_dir: '/var/www/html'
        volume_driver: 'local'
        userns_mode: 'host'

Then you would target a host with the following states:

include:
  - base: docker
  - base: docker.compose.ng

3.14. docker.swarm

Saltstack swarm module state support (See https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.swarm.html).

3.15. docker.swarm.clean

Opposite of docker.swarm state (See https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.swarm.html).

3.16. docker.networks

Create docker networks

3.17. docker.networks.clean

Remove docker networks

4. Sub-states

Sub-states are available inside sub-directories.

5. Testing

Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.

5.1. Requirements

  • Ruby

  • Docker

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml, e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.

5.2. bin/kitchen converge

Creates the Docker instance and runs the docker main state, ready for testing.

5.3. bin/kitchen verify

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

5.4. bin/kitchen destroy

Removes the Docker instance.

5.5. bin/kitchen test

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge
verify + destroy.

5.6. bin/kitchen login

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
