vagrant-docker

Use docker instead of a VM (i.e., virtualbox) in Vagrant as a provider to save system resources (and be more fashionable!)

Use this sample code to build your own boxes.

The image is currently based on Ubuntu:12.04 It features Puppet [Chef is optional] and a sample NginX web Server

Simple usage:

Builds your own docker image from the Dockerfile

cd vagrant-docker

sudo vagrant up

Test:

Navigate to: http://localhost:8080/

Advanced usage:

Select your image in a ENV var

For a vanilla image built using the same docker file:

DOCKER_IMAGE='npoggi/vagrant-docker' sudo vagrant up --provision

For a pre-provisioned image with the puppet config (saves time)

DOCKER_IMAGE='npoggi/vagrant-docker-provisioned' sudo vagrant up --provision

Notes:

In case you switch images do a vagrant provision (or vagrant up --provision) instead of just vagrant up. As docker by default stops services if not specified in the Dockerfile. Puppet as the provisioner with make sure they are UP!
