[Sugar-devel] Introduction to the list

[Michaël Ohayon]

Thanks,

Docker is a great tool for booting up a container using LXC, you can refer
to it as a very light vm focused on a specific task.
You can script in minutes a way to boot a program by targetting a specific
OS from any GNU/Linux

For instance here is a Dockerfile to
- bootup an archlinux container
- upgrading packages
- copy a nginx conf file
- clone sugarizer repository
- expose nginx to port 80 on the host

[ohayon_m at ohayon-m-thinkpad /tmp]$ cat Dockerfile
FROM     base/archlinux:latest

RUN yes | pacman -Syy
RUN yes | pacman -S gcc nodejs openssh mongodb supervisor nginx git

COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

RUN cd /opt; git clone https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer.git
RUN cd /opt/sugarizer/server; npm install
RUN mkdir /opt/sugarizer/db

EXPOSE 80

CMD ["/usr/bin/nginx"]
[ohayon_m at ohayon-m-thinkpad /tmp]$

Each modification of a container is handled like a git commit so you can
rollback at any time and launch specific snapshots.
It has a "cache system". It will bootup almost instantly after the
container is build.

I see it like a great tool to setup an env without having to script install
for every OS or if you don't want to install every lib/framework/etc in
your OS just for some testing.
It can be used in production and manage/scale with the new tools : Docker
Swarm and Docker Compose

Hope you'll find it usefull !
