How can I configure docker service inside OpenStack

Hi Guys,

I am working on a project. For that I used OpenStack as a cloud platform. But I need container service for some purpose. How can I use container service in OpenStack?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

The first requirement is to install Docker on your compute hosts.

In order for Nova to communicate with Docker over its local socket, add nova to the docker group and restart the compute service to pick up the change:

usermod -aG docker nova
service openstack-nova-compute restart

You will also need to install the driver:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/stackforge/nova-docker#egg=novadocker

You should then install the required modules

cd src/novadocker/
python setup.py install

Nova needs to be configured to use the Docker virt driver.

Edit the configuration file /etc/nova/nova.conf according to the following options:

[DEFAULT]
compute_driver = novadocker.virt.docker.DockerDriver

Create the directory /etc/nova/rootwrap.d, if it does not already exist, and inside that directory create a file "docker.filters" with the following content:

# nova-rootwrap command filters for setting up network in the docker driver
# This file should be owned by (and only-writeable by) the root user
[Filters]
# nova/virt/docker/driver.py: 'ln', '-sf', '/var/run/netns/.*'
ln: CommandFilter, /bin/ln, root

Glance needs to be configured to support the "docker" container format. It's important to leave the default ones in order to not break an existing glance install.

[DEFAULT]
container_formats = ami,ari,aki,bare,ovf,docker

Follow the above given steps.

Thank You
