Capistrano - Docker Appliance Deploy
This project aims to make it simple to deploy multiple apps inside Docker containers to an overall Docker Host.
Opinionated File Structure
To make the process as simple as possible this project specifies an opinianated file structure, it will be much easier to start with a clean slate rather than trying to backport this to legacy file setup.
Apps are namespaced by an account and an application, in a similar concept to Github account/repo structure.
Persistent Data Support
There is support for persistent storage via configuration of volumes. Multiple volumes are supported for each project.
Installation & Required Configuration
To get started you will need the following setup.
1. A local git repo that stores your project file
2. The root of the project needs a Dockerfile that handles the container build
3. A remote server with Docker installed and a preferably empty filesystem for the specified user.
4. A local Capfile that handles the configuration for the deploy.
Here's an example of the minimum requirements for your local Capfile.
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/docker'
set :namespace, "yournamespace"
set :application, "yourapp"
set :port, "59999"
set :stage, "production"
task :production do
set :branch, "master"
server 'docker.yourserver.com', user: 'docker', roles: %w{host}
end
