My Docker Setup

Scripting my way into the Docker world. I 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

Most of these commands benefit from being root. Something like a sudo su - if you feel comfortable with it. Otherwise be aware that using sudo may cause file permission conflicts when interacting with the configuration files and folders.

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'd be needed is to rsync /opt/Docker and run install.sh and then start.sh on the new server. That's my opinion though, if someone else uses this then they are welcome to place it where they'd like.

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.
