A repository of scripts to use Docker with Scalr.

We recommend using these scripts with Scalarizr 2.9.31's "Script URI" functionality, which lets you run a script by passing its URL, but you can also copy them as Scalr Scripts.

To use Docker with Scalr, you'll need to create a new Role and add the three following scripts. You'll also need to define a CRANE_FILE_URL Global Variable, as explained below.

Use the script at https://get.docker.io/ to install Docker itself.

We recommend using Crane for deployments. Crane is a lightweight wrapper around Docker, which parses a configuration file and generates the appropriate docker pull and docker run commands

Install Crane with the install-crane.sh script found in this repository.

Note that this script is designed to work on Debian / Ubuntu. Slight changes would be required to make it work on RHEL / CentOS.

Run Crane with the run-crane.sh script found in this repository. You'll need to create a CRANE_FILE_URL and point it to a suitable Crane file for this to work (see below for more information).

The "Crane file" tells Crane how it should run your Docker application. It defines the image Crane should use, the ports that should be exposed, the volumes that should be mounted, etc.

A sample can be found in the examples in this repository. It'll deploy our "3 Tier Webapp".
