Here is a getting started guide for Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-started
Docker for Windows/Mac offers more integration with the host operating system but it conflicts with VirtualBox (which we use for Vagrant). If you just want to use Docker inside a Linux VM, running `vagrant up` on GPII/universal will get that for you. You can then share files outside the VM using shared folders (/home/vagrant/sync). That's because our CentOS/Fedora vagrant boxes already come with Docker pre-installed. Some basic commands are here: https://github.com/GPII/universal/blob/master/scripts/vagrantCloudBasedContainers.sh This is the script CI uses to run the integration tests. You can see at the end that there only a few commands that actually do something: # Build GPII/universal image docker build -t universal . # Run CouchDB in a container docker run -d -p 5984:5984 --name couchdb couchdb # Load Preferences data into CouchDB database docker run --rm --link couchdb -v /home/vagrant/sync/universal/testData/preferences:/data -e PREFERENCES_DIR=/data -e COUCHDB_URL=http://couchdb:5984/preferences -e CLEAR_INDEX=1 gpii/preferences-dataloader # Run Preferences Server docker run -d -p 9081:9081 --name preferences --link couchdb -e NODE_ENV=gpii.config.preferencesServer.standalone.production -e GPII_PREFERENCES_DATASOURCE_URL=http://couchdb:5984/preferences/%userToken -e GPII_PREFERENCES_LISTEN_PORT=9081 universal # Run Flow Manager docker run -d -p 9082:9082 --name flowmanager --link preferences -e NODE_ENV=gpii.config.cloudBased.flowManager.production -e GPII_FLOWMANAGER_PREFERENCES_URL=http://preferences:9081/preferences/%userToken -e GPII_FLOWMANAGER_LISTEN_PORT=9082 universal We can hide this behind automation, improve this script, etc, but I'll argue that it's still useful to understand how to work with Docker since that's what's used in actual deployments. I understand we're all swamped learning new tools everyday but this one won't take much time and it's worth it, IMHO.
