IMPORTANT This project is no longer under active development. Based on what we've learned building this, we recommend looking at Convox instead.

A CLI for simplifying the use of AWS with Docker Swarm.

• Bash version 3 or later
• Docker version 1.10
• Docker Machine version 0.6 release candidate (see below)
• AWS CLI version 1.10.8
• Node version 4 or later
• NPM version 2 or later
• yaml (via npm install yaml -g) version 1 or later

To install the Docker Machine release candidate, run the following from the shell:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.6.0-rc4/docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine && \\
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine

$ npm install -g p42

$ p42 cluster create
Creating VPC [red-ghost]...

To add 3 nodes to a cluster:

$ p42 cluster add red-ghost -n 3

To add just one:

$ p42 cluster add red-ghost

If you want to use Docker commands directly:

$ eval $(p42 cluster env red-ghost)

which will select the Swarm master, if possible, or the default machine otherwise.

p42 cluster ls red-ghost

$ p42 init
Application name [blurb9]:
Organization repository [pandastrike]:

Provide the git cloneable URL for the mixin repo:

$ p42 mixin add git@github.com:pandastrike/p42-mixin-nginx.git
Document root [www]:

Add the cluster as a target for your app.

$ p42 target add master red-ghost

The run command will build and run all the images described in your launch directory.

$ p42 run

Let's build a simple Web page and deploy it using p42.

We'll assume we've already run a cluster (see Creating A Cluster).

Let's create an application directory and initialize it.

$ mkdir hello-world
$ cd hello-world
$ p42 init
Application name [hello-world]:
Organization repository []: pandastrike

Add the Nginx mixin.

$ p42 mixin add git@github.com:pandastrike/p42-mixin-nginx.git
Document root [www]:

This will create a launch/www directory that includes a Dockerfile for running Nginx.

Create an index HTML file.

$ mkdir www
$ cat >> www/index.html
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>

Run your application.

$ p42 run

This will take a minute to build and run the image described by launch/www/Dockerfile.

Get the IP and port of your Nginx container.

$ p42 ps
swarm-01/hello-world-www 159.203.247.225:32769->80/tcp, 159.203.247.225:32768->443/tcp
$ curl 159.203.247.225:32769
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>

You can add autocomplete to your shell by running:

$ eval $(p42 env -)

p42 is under heavy development.

Run p42 help to get a list of commands and what they do.
