docker-machine-driver-linode

Linode Driver Plugin for docker-machine.

Install

First, docker-machine is required, documentation for how to install docker-machine is available here.

Or, you can install docker-machine from source by running:

go get github.com/docker/machine
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/machine
make build

Then, install docker-machine-driver-linode driver in the $GOPATH and add $GOPATH/bin to the $PATH environment variable.

go get github.com/displague/docker-machine-driver-linode
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/displague/docker-machine-driver-linode
make install

Run

You will need a Linode APIv4 Personal Access Token. Get one here: https://developers.linode.com/api/v4#section/Personal-Access-Token

docker-machine create -d linode --linode-token=<linode-token> --linode-root-pass=<linode-root-pass> linode

Full Example

LINODE_TOKEN=e332cf8e1a78427f1368a5a0a67946ad1e7c8e28e332cf8e1a78427f1368a5a0 # Should be 65 lowercase hex chars
LINODE_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32); echo Password for root: $LINODE_ROOT_PASSWORD

docker-machine create -d linode --linode-token=$LINODE_TOKEN --linode-root-pass=$LINODE_ROOT_PASSWORD linode
eval $(docker-machine env linode)
docker run --rm --it debian bash

$ docker-machine ls
