Hadoop + Volumes on Fedora, Using Docker

In just a few simple steps, you can have an instance of Hadoop up and running in a Docker container. This was tested with Hadoop 2.2 on Docker 0.7.6 on a Fedora 20 host. This article will also take a minute to explain how to use volumes as well. You may also want to view this in depth blog post by Michael Crosby.

Made it! Red Hat Summit Lab is Posted

Labs are a lot of fun. They give us a great opportunity to interact with customers and show of our new products. We had a lab session last year and it was wait listed. Over 80 attendees showed up and were able to complete our session. I'm really looking forward to this year as well. See you there!

The agenda consisted of:

• James Turnbull (skype-in), Intro to Docker and The Docker Book
• Scott Collier to talk about docker files in fedora.
• Ian Richardson to talk about Docker+Rundeck.
• Nars Tadepali to talk about Docker usecases at Actian.
• Aater Suleman to talk about Docker usecases at Flux7.
• Paul Czarkowski to talk about Deis.

Cool!

This was cool! It's great to see people use stuff you work on.

Just deployed @collier_s #Nginx #Dockerfile (http://t.co/o6ICys1oHl) in @tutumcloud in under 10 seconds. Awesome! http://t.co/0XTZdUiqLF

MongoDB with an External Volume - Docker

I am still playing with different features of Docker and today was "External Volumes".  I thought I'd just try it with MongoDB.  So, lets get started.

1.  Check out the Dockerfile that I am using to do the MongoDB build:

FROM fedora
MAINTAINER scollier

RUN yum -y update
RUN yum -y install mongodb-server
RUN mkdir -p /data/db
RUN sed -i 's/dbpath =\/var\/lib\/mongodb/dbpath =\/data\/db/' /etc/mongodb.conf

VOLUME ["/data/db"]

EXPOSE 27017
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/mongod"]

Maintaining content an upstream Fedora package - for the first time

OK, so today the fedora-dockerfiles package was created: fedora-dockerfiles. It should go through the process and be released in a few days to a week. The fedora-dockerfiles package provides examples of dockerfiles to get people up and running quickly. It's trivial code, but it's still my first time maintaining upstream code for a package. Here are some things that I see I need to start learning / testing:

• Upstream Release Monitoring
• GitHub tags / releases 
• Automated way to ensure the dockerfiles are working with each new release
• etc... I'm sure I've missed something that will pop up eventually

I'm looking forward to being an active maintainer of these dockerfiles and I'll try to stay on top of it. The good thing is, if I run into any problems, I'm only an IRC chat away from having them resolved as anyone I've ever worked with that's involved in the Fedora Project has been happy to help.
