Containerized RackHD for Rancher demo #140

Closed codenrhoden closed 7 years ago

codenrhoden commented 8 years ago

Run RackHD in containers (starting from RackHD/rackhd/docker) allowing for customized network configuration and different default/custom workflows.

need to upload tagged images to Docker hub that can be pulled down by Rancher. Need to figure out if custom demo workflows/config can be loaded from external source.

The build/tag/DockerHub part of this is done, and there is a working docker-compose setup as well. RackHD customization is happened via an extra container launched by compose to POST/PUT to the RackHD whatever we need.

The network and/or monorail config changes may necessitate image rebuilds, but that might not be true since /opt/monorail is mounted as a volume.

Progress as of today is that RackHD now includes a custom "total memory" catalog task, and this task output is used to sort nodes into large vs small SKUs.

This is all at https://github.com/codenrhoden/RackHD on the rancherdemo branch. Images for these have been pushed to DockerHub/emccode.

Just a few updates on this...

My rancherdemo branch continues to be maintained, with several changes to Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml. There are very few changes to RackHD code itself. Once all functionality is locked down, I'd like to see if I can lay my changes on top of RackHD master and see if things still work.

Longer-term, I see issues with how the monorail config file is passed into containers, and how things are persisted to volumes.
