Docker Puppet Module for Boxen

Installs and configures Docker, an open source project to pack, ship and run any application as a lightweight container. This module will install Docker Compose, Engine, Machine and Swarm.

Usage

include docker

Updating

Keeping Docker up-to-date is something that you should be managing in your own Boxen repository, rather than depending on this module to update it for you.

You can update Docker by overriding the version values with Hiera (see below).

Required Puppet Modules

• boxen
• homebrew
• ripienaar/puppet-module-data
• stdlib

Development

Write code. Run script/cibuild to test it. Check the script directory for other useful tools.

Hiera configuration

The following variables may be automatically overridden with Hiera:

---
# Keep Docker up-to-date
docker::compose::version: "1.4.2"
docker::engine::version: "1.8.3"
docker::machine::version: "0.4.1"
docker::swarm::version: "0.4.0"

# The name of the local VM
docker::machinename: "local"

# Where to store the configuration and virtual machines
docker::configdir: "%{::boxen::config::configdir}/docker"
docker::datadir: "%{::boxen::config::datadir}/docker"
docker::logdir: "%{::boxen::config::logdir}/docker"

It is required that you include ripienaar/puppet-module-data in your boxen project, as this module now ships with many pre-defined configurations in the data/ directory. With this module included, those definitions will be automatically loaded, but can be overridden easily in your own hierarchy.

You can also use JSON if your Hiera is configured for that.
