In the Docker Index

In order to use strider-dockerfile you need to have Docker installed on your machine.

sudo docker pull strider/strider:latest

If you rolled your own, use my/strider (or whatever tag you chose) in place of strider/strider.

By default, Docker does not map any ports inside the container to the public ports on the host machine. This means you won't be able to connect to the Strider instance outside the container. Fortunately, Docker provides a convenient port mapping option with -p.

To run Strider in Docker with the Strider webapp mapped to port 3000:

CID=$(sudo docker run -d -p 3000:3000 strider/strider)

For debugging or configuration purposes, you may also like to map MongoDB and SSHd from inside the container. For example, use the following flags to have the internal MongoDB mapped to port 27000 and and the internal SSHd mapped to port 44:

-p 27000:27017 -p 44:22 strider/strider

google-chrome http://localhost:$(sudo docker port $CID 3000)

The default root password is str!der. The following command assumes you have an ssh key already. If not, run ssh-keygen. Github has a pretty good how-to for ssh keys here.

ssh-copy-id "root@localhost -p $(sudo docker port $CID 22)"

ssh root@localhost -p $(sudo docker port $CID 22) passwd

Strider's log can be found (inside the docker container) at /etc/logs/supervisor/node.log. To get at this, just ssh in.

Supervisord is used to manage mongo, ssh, and strider, taking care of their logs, and restarting them if they crash.

You can control supervisor with supervisorctl, which again would be through ssh

ssh root@localhost -p $(sudo docker port $CID 22) supervisorctl

This could take several minutes since it has to setup a whole new environment including installing several packages. If you just want to change some of the ways things are configured, jump down to roll your own; you can still take advantage of several of the prebuilt docker images, saving you lots of time.

git clone https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider-dockerfile.git
cd strider-dockerfile
make all

strider/strider:base gives you a great starting point with all of the necessary packages for running strider, while also giving you the power to:

• add custom strider extensions
• set the default root password & admin user information
• use an external mongo server
• set ENV variables for strider
• do whatever you want, really.

Just clone the strider-dockerfile repo, make whatever changes you like to the custom/Dockerfile, and custom/supervisord.conf and build!

cd custom
docker build -t my/strider .

As an example of a custom strider build, check out the nomongo directory, which gives you a docker image without a local mongo database; instead you enter the mongouri as an ENV variable in supervisord.conf.

Go ahead and set up a free database with mongohq or mongolab, enter the mongouri into supervisord.conf and you're ready to build!

cd nomongo
docker build -t my/strider .

• strider/strider:preclone contains all of the Ubuntu packages you need to run a CD server (things like make, g++, mongodb, ssh-server, etc.) preinstalled.
• strider/strider:base just takes preclone, grabs the Strider repo, and runs npm install.

If you make your custom Docker image from strider/strider:base you don't have to go through installing all of the packages; it's just bundled for you. you can then do any setup and configuration you like by adding Docker commands and modifying the supervisord.conf.
