Cassandra Dockerfile

A Docker image for running a single-node Cassandra cluster.

• Dockerhub repo: mashape/cassandra

How to use this image

To start a container running this image:

$ docker run -d -p 9042:9042 --name cassandra mashape/cassandra

This container will expose your cluster on your host port 9042, the default Cassandra port.

Using a custom Cassandra configuration

This container stores the Cassandra configuration (usually in /etc/cassandra/) in a Data Volume. You can mount this volume from your host machine by doing so:

$ docker run -d \
    -v /path/to/your/etc/cassandra/:/etc/cassandra \
    -p 9042:9042 \
    --name cassandra \
    mashape/cassandra

Data storage

This container also stores the actual storage data (usually in /var/lib/cassandra/) in a Data Volume. You can mount this volume from your host machine by doing so:

$ docker run -d \
    -v /path/to/your/var/lib/cassandra/:/var/lib/cassandra \
    -p 9042:9042 \
    --name cassandra \
    mashape/cassandra
