VM setup - Start docker container
The docker run
command
Once everything has been setup and configured, a docker container can be started with the following command:
sudo docker run \
--detach \
--dns 127.0.0.1 \
--name <instance-name> \
--publish 80:80 \
--publish 443:443 \
--restart unless-stopped \
--volume <host-secrets-dir>:/aio-secrets:ro \
--volume <host-builds-dir>:/var/www/aio-builds \
[--volume <host-cert-dir>:/etc/ssl/localcerts:ro] \
[--volume <host-logs-dir>:/var/log/aio] \
[--volume <host-dockerbuild-dir>:/dockerbuild] \
<name>[:<tag>]
Below is the same command with inline comments explaining each option. The API docs for docker run
can be found here.
sudo docker run \
# Start as a daemon.
--detach \
# Use the local DNS server.
# (This is necessary for mapping internal URLs, e.g. for the Node.js preview-server.)
--dns 127.0.0.1 \
# USe `<instance-name>` as an alias for the container.
# Useful for running `docker` commands, e.g.: `docker stop <instance-name>`
--name <instance-name> \
# Map ports of the host VM (left) to ports of the docker container (right)
--publish 80:80 \
--publish 443:443 \
# Automatically restart the container (unless it was explicitly stopped by the user).
# (This ensures that the container will be automatically started on boot.)
--restart unless-stopped \
# The directory the contains the secrets (e.g. GitHub token, JWT secret, etc).
# (See [here](vm-setup--set-up-secrets.md) for more info.)
--volume <host-secrets-dir>:/aio-secrets:ro \
# The build artifacts and hosted previews will stored to and served from this directory.
# (If you are using a persistent disk - as described [here](vm-setup--attach-persistent-disk.md) -
# this will be a directory inside the disk.)
--volume <host-builds-dir>:/var/www/aio-builds \
# The directory the contains the SSL certificates.
# (See [here](vm-setup--create-host-dirs-and-files.md) for more info.)
# If not provided, the container will use self-signed certificates.
[--volume <host-cert-dir>:/etc/ssl/localcerts:ro] \
# The directory where the logs are being kept.
# (See [here](vm-setup--create-host-dirs-and-files.md) for more info.)
# If not provided, the logs will be kept inside the container, which means they will be lost
# whenever a new container is created.
[--volume <host-logs-dir>:/var/log/aio] \
# This directory allows you to share the source scripts between the host and the container when
# debugging. (See [here](misc--debug-docker-container.md) for how to set this up.)
[--volume <host-dockerbuild-dir>:/dockerbuild] \
# The name of the docker image to use (and an optional tag; defaults to `latest`).
# (See [here](vm-setup--create-docker-image.md) for instructions on how to create the image.)
<name>[:<tag>]
Example
The following command would start a docker container based on the previously created foobar-builds
docker image, alias it as 'foobar-builds-1' and map predefined directories on the host VM to be used
by the container for accessing secrets and SSL certificates and keeping the build artifacts and logs;
and will map the source scripts from the host to the container.
sudo docker run \
--detach \
--dns 127.0.0.1 \
--name foobar-builds-1 \
--publish 80:80 \
--publish 443:443 \
--restart unless-stopped \
--volume /foobar-secrets:/aio-secrets:ro \
--volume /mnt/disks/foobar-builds:/var/www/aio-builds \
--volume /etc/ssl/localcerts:/etc/ssl/localcerts:ro \
--volume /foobar-logs:/var/log/aio \
--volume ~/angular/aio/aio-builds-setup/dockerbuild:/dockerbuild \
foobar-builds
