DOCKER_HOST(non-Linux users see boot2docker)
$ go get github.com/nitrous-io/tug
web: bin/web -p $PORT
postgres: docker/postgres:9.3.5
redis: docker/redis:2.8.9
If any command starts with docker/ the rest will be interpreted as a docker image tag.
$ tug start
postgres | fixing permissions on existing onesory /var/lib/postgresql/data ... ok
postgres | creating subdirectories ... ok
postgres | selecting default max_connections ... 100
postgres | selecting default shared_buffers ... 128MB
web | listening on 0.0.0.0:5000
Tug will set environment variables in the Docker container linking format, like this:
POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP=tcp://127.0.0.1:5000
POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PROTO=tcp
POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR=127.0.0.1
POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT=5000
If your application expects env vars to be named differently, alias them in your Tugfile:
web: env DATABASE_HOST=$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_ADDR bin/web
If your app has a Dockerfile, tug will use it to build and run your app in Docker while setting up appropriate port forwarding and file synchronization.
For Tug to work most effectively your Dockerfile should include the following:
- The listening web port should be specified with an
EXPOSEstatement - The app's code should be included from the local directory using an
ADDstatement - The app's startup command should be defined using
CMD
FROM ruby:2.1.2 ENV PORT 3000 EXPOSE 3000 WORKDIR /app ADD . /app CMD ["bundle", "exec", "unicorn", "-p", "$PORT"]
