-----------------------------
Summary: SINGA-89 Add Docker support
Key: SINGA-89
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SINGA-89
Project: Singa
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Anh Dinh
Assignee: Anh Dinh
Docker is a Linux container which is fast to deploy and incurs small overhead.
A Docker container functions like a light-weight virtual machine and runs in
its own isolated environment. There are at least two benefits in building
adding Docker support for SINGA:
# Out of the box deployment of SINGA: the image, once built, contains the
complete environment necessary to start SINGA.
# Light-weight development and testing environment for distributed features.
The image can be used to set up a test-bed consisting of many independent
nodes (each node has its own IP address), without the need for cluster hardware.
We add to Github a {{Dockerfile}} specifying how to build SINGA image, from
which the user can construct the image by executing:
{code}
sudo docker build -t singa/base .
{code}
The user can choose another name beside {{singa/base}} . The build process can
take a long time, but it needs to be done only at one host and the result image
can then be copied to other hosts.
We also add another {{Dockerfile}} which adds Mesos and Hadoop ontop of SINGA.
This is closely related to
[SINGA-11|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SINGA-11]. The image created
from this Dockerfile is used to set up the distributed test bed.
See the {{README.md}} for more details of the images and how to use them.
h5. Important
We assume that every host has Docker running.
