Docker containers tuned to run by Vagrant without a big amount of buzz.
Vagrant knows how to run Docker images but unfortunately it is not pretty
convenient to follow the general line. I like to have vagrant ssh but
most containers do not provide it out of box. Moreover, it is a bit tricky
to use it as a lightweight VM. Docker has its own way and I appreciate it.
But I want to have fast VMs because specific of my work is running of 3-5 VirtualBox VMs on my laptop and overall experience is rather horrible. I have enough RAM but it is still painful sometimes. Some of my work requires frequent restarts of VMs and this is a case where Docker shines.
So I prepared base images (on Ubuntu, CentOS is coming) I could use to setup my Vagrant docker environments without a big pain.
Basically you may fetch these VMs from Docker Hub:
$ docker pull nineseconds/docker-vagrantOr if you want, you may build them manually with Makefile (just run make
and get the same images as I have).
Usage is straighforward: please check Vagrantfile in the repository. Minimal
Vagrantfile is following:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
# Vagrant uses vagrant user by default. Docker uses root. Use root, it is
# a development environment anyway.
config.ssh.username = "root"
config.vm.provider "docker" do |docker|
# The name of the image to use
docker.image = "nineseconds/docker-vagrant"
# vagrant docker images have SSH so why not to use it
docker.has_ssh = true
# Yes, containers are long running.
docker.remains_running = true
end
endLet's check how it works...
$ vagrant up

$ vagrant ssh
