/!\ this documentation is a work in progress.

Quick start

This image require the kernel module ip_vs loaded on the host (modprobe ip_vs) and need to be run with : --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=host

docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=host -d osixia/keepalived:0.2.0

Environment Variables

Environment variables defaults are set in image/environment/default.yaml

See how to set your own environment variables

  • KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE: Keepalived network interface. Defaults to eth0

  • KEEPALIVED_PASSWORD: Keepalived password. Defaults to d0cker

  • KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY Keepalived node priority. Defaults to 150

  • KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_PEERS Keepalived unicast peers. Defaults to : - 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.11

    If you want to set this variable at docker run command add the tag #PYTHON2BASH: and convert the yaml in python:

    docker run --env KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_PEERS="#PYTHON2BASH:['192.168.1.10', '192.168.1.11']" --detach osixia/keepalived:0.2.0
    

    To convert yaml to python online : http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

  • KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPS Keepalived virtual IPs. Defaults to :

    - 192.168.1.231
    - 192.168.1.232
    

    If you want to set this variable at docker run command convert the yaml in python, see above.

  • KEEPALIVED_NOTIFY Script to execute when node state change. Defaults to /container/service/keepalived/assets/notify.sh

Set environment variables at run time :

Environment variable can be set directly by adding the -e argument in the command line, for example :

docker run -e KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE="eno1" -e KEEPALIVED_PASSWORD="password!" \
-e KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY="100" -d osixia/keepalived

Or by setting your own env.yaml file as a docker volume to /container/environment/env.yaml

docker run -v /data/my-env.yaml:/container/environment/env.yaml \
-d osixia/keepalived

Set your own environment variables

Use command line argument

Environment variables can be set by adding the --env argument in the command line, for example:

docker run --env KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE="eno1" --env KEEPALIVED_PASSWORD="password!" \
--env KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY="100" --detach osixia/keepalived:0.2.0

For example if your environment file is in : /data/environment/my-env.yaml

docker run --volume /data/environment/my-env.yaml:/container/environment/01-custom/env.yaml \
--detach osixia/keepalived:0.2.0

Take care to link your environment file to /container/environment/XX-somedir (with XX < 99 so they will be processed before default environment files) and not directly to /container/environment because this directory contains predefined baseimage environment files to fix container environment (INITRD, LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_CTYPE).

Make your own image or extend this image

This is the best solution if you have a private registry. Please refer to the Advanced User Guide just below.

Advanced User Guide

VERSION = 0.1.0

Build your image :

make build

We use Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) to test this image:

https://github.com/sstephenson/bats

Install Bats, and in this project directory run :

make test

Under the hood: osixia/light-baseimage
