My Docker Setup

Scripting my way into the Docker world. Was unable to find a good tutorial on using and managing containers so this is what made sense to me based on practice with docker-compose. I am still new to Docker and am likely to make mistakes, but you're welcome to learn with me. ;)

Disclaimer

Currently the project only focuses on apt based operating systems.

How To Use

Install the project dependencies.

apt install git bash

Clone the project.

git clone https://github.com/hyperling/docker /opt/Docker

Load the environment variables.

source /opt/Docker/source.env

Install docker to the system.

install.sh

Create an area to add a new product.

create.sh PROJECT_NAME

Edit the project's details.

vi /opt/Docker/Config/PROJECT_NAME/docker-compose.yml

Start all of the docker projects.

start.sh

Cross your fingers and hope to profit!

Folders

Config

Compose projects are set up here. Each folder should have a docker-compose.yml file set up.

Volumes

The data of the files go here if the Config is done correctly. I think this should be easier to remember than /var/lib/docker/volumes when it comes time for migrations. Hopefully all that's needed is to rsync /opt/Docker and run start.sh on the new server. That's my opinion though, if someone else uses this then they can use /var/.

bin

Scripts to help make life easier. Some are pretty basic, but others do nice things like handle the container IDs.

install.sh : Install dependencies on a new server with apt.
create.sh : Create a new folder with the needed yml file.
start.sh : Start all compose containers.
stop.sh : Stop all compose containers.
get_logs.sh : Create log files rather than using the docker log command or searching in /var/whatever.
uninstall.sh : If something goes wrong and you'd like to start from scratch without provisioning a new server then this should do the job.
