Running Multiple Docker Containers in Vagrant with YAML

These files were created to allow users to use Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com) to quickly and relatively easily launch multiple Docker (http://www.docker.com) containers. The specifics of the Docker containers are specified in an external YAML file. The configuration was tested using Vagrant 1.7.2, VMware Fusion 6.0.5, and the Vagrant VMware plugin.

Contents

  • README.md: The file you're currently reading.

  • host/Vagrantfile: This file is used by Vagrant to spin up a "host VM" for use with the Vagrant Docker provider. Edit this file to change the Vagrant box you'd like to use; by default, this Vagrantfile uses the "slowe/ubuntu-trusty-x64" box (built for the "vmware_desktop" provider).

  • Vagrantfile: This file is used by Vagrant to spin up the Docker containers on the host VM created by host/Vagrantfile. Unless you change filenames, you should not need to edit this file. All container details are stored in a separate YAML file.

  • containers.yml: This YAML file contains a list of the Docker containers and their properties for use by Vagrant. You will need to edit this file to specify container friendly name, image, and exposed ports.

Instructions

  1. If you wish to use a box other than my "ubuntu-trusty-x64" base box (running Ubuntu 14.04), edit the Vagrantfile in the host subdirectory.

  2. Edit the containers.yml file to specify the Docker containers that Vagrant should create on the host VM (specified by host/Vagrantfile). Each container should contain three properties: name (the friendly name to be assigned to the Docker container), image (the name of the Docker image to be used for this container), and ports (a list of ports to be exposed for the container).

  3. From the directory where the main Vagrantfile is located, simply run vagrant up to spin up the specified host VM and specified Docker containers. Note that Internet access will be required to download Docker and the Docker images.

Enjoy!
