Docker implementation of iRODS v.4.1.x Resource Server
- 4.1.10, latest (4.1.10/Dockerfile)
- 4.1.9 (4.1.9/Dockerfile)
- 4.1.8 (4.1.8/Dockerfile)
- 4.1.7 (4.1.7/Dockerfile)
docker pull mjstealey/docker-irods-resource:latest
Example 1. iRODS resource servers assume that there is an already running instance of an iCAT server reachable over the network.
In this example we've previously launched a daemonized instance of docker-irods-icat:latest and have specified that both it's docker name and hostname are icat:
$ docker run -d --name icat \
--hostname icat \
mjstealey/docker-irods-icat:latest
When launching our resource server we want to match the version of the iRODS iCAT server and provide a few docker attributes to allow the conainer to bind with the already running iCAT instance. We'll use the --link attribute to specify which container it should have IP information for, the --hostname attribute to provide a clean name to the created resource, as well as specify the environment variable IRODS_ICAT_HOST_NAME to match the hostname we gave to the docker-irods-icat:latest instance.
$ docker run --name resource \
--hostname resource \
-e IRODS_ICAT_HOST_NAME=icat \
--link icat:icat \
mjstealey/docker-irods-resource:latest
This call can also be daemonized with the -d flag, which would most likely be used in an actual environment.
On completion a running container named resource is spawned with the following configuration:
-------------------------------------------
iRODS Port: 1247
Range (Begin): 20000
Range (End): 20199
Vault Directory: /var/lib/irods/iRODS/Vault
zone_key: TEMPORARY_zone_key
negotiation_key: TEMPORARY_32byte_negotiation_key
Control Plane Port: 1248
Control Plane Key: TEMPORARY__32byte_ctrl_plane_key
Schema Validation Base URI: https://schemas.irods.org/configuration
Administrator Username: rods
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
iCAT Host: icat
iCAT Zone: tempZone
-------------------------------------------
Use the docker exec call to at the terminal interact with the container. Add the user definition of -u irods to specify that commands should be run as the irods user.
- Sample iadmin lr:
$ docker exec -u irods icat iadmin lr bundleResc demoResc resourceResource $ docker exec -u irods resource iadmin lr bundleResc demoResc resourceResource
From this call you can see the newly launched resourceResource from both the icat server as well as the resource server.
- Sample iadmin lr resourceResource
$ docker exec -u irods icat iadmin lr resourceResource resc_id: 10001 resc_name: resourceResource zone_name: tempZone resc_type_name: unixfilesystem resc_net: resource resc_def_path: /var/lib/irods/iRODS/Vault free_space: free_space_ts Never resc_info: r_comment: resc_status: create_ts 2016-10-03.16:44:54 modify_ts 2016-10-03.16:44:55 resc_children: resc_context: resc_parent: resc_objcount: 0
Example 2. Use an environment file to pass the required environment variables for the iRODS setup_irods.sh call.
$ docker run --name resource \
--env-file sample-env-file.env \
--hostname resource \
--link icat:icat \
mjstealey/docker-irods-resource:latest

This call can also be daemonized with the -d flag, which would most likely be used in an actual environment.
The outcome of this call would be identical to that described in Example 1, with the same results for the docker exec -u irods icat iadmin calls.
