Dr-elephant needs a MySql backend. The easiest way to achieve it is to link the container with a official MySql image.

docker pull mysql:latest

docker run --name mysql-drelephant
-v /my/own/datadir:/var/lib/mysql
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=drelephant
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=drelephant
-e MYSQL_USER=drelephant
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=drelephant
-d mysql:latest

Build the dr-elephant image with an internet connectivity

docker build -t dr-elephant:2.0.6 .

Then run our dr-elephant on a server having the hadoop client libs ..

docker run --name drelephant
--link mysql-drelephant:mysql
-p 8080:8080
-e http_port='8080'
-e keytab_user=''
-e keytab_location=''
-v /etc/krb5.conf:/etc/krb5.conf
-v /etc/hadoop/conf:/etc/hadoop/conf
-v /etc/dr-elephant/conf:/usr/dr-elephant/app-conf
-v /var/log/dr-elephant:/usr/dr-elephant/logs
-d dr-elephant:2.0.6
