Common Setup Instructions

Softwares

  • Docker Toolbox
  • Git
  • Atom
  • ConEMU

====================

Systems Preparation

To setup the lab, as participants, we would install Docker Toolbox and create Containers for each application being used to setup learning environment. We would also need a sophisticated editor which would help us write code fast, with auto completion and syntax highlighting features etc. Thats where Atom comes in handy.

On windows systems, utilities such as ssh do not come installed by default. To install a bash shell and create a remote terminal, Git and ConEmu are effective tools.

Enabling Virtualization from BIOS

In order to run 64bit VMs, systems need to be enabled with hardware virtualization extensions. On a Mac OSX, this is typically enabled by default. However, on many Windows Laptops/Desktops, VT-x needs to be manually enabled.

Installing Required Softwares - Common

  • Install software with specific version by clicking on link provided in below table

  • Additional software need for windows system are git & ConEmu

Software Windows Installer OS X Installer
Docker Toolbox 1.12.3 1.12.3
Atom 1.7.4 1.7.4
Git for Windows 2.8.3 Not Applicable
ConEmu 150813g Not Applicable

All softwares need no additional instructions while installing. Download, launch installer and follow through the default steps.

Creating a VM to launch Docker Containers

  • Open a terminal (ConEMU with bash on windows or iterm on Mac)
  • Run the following command to create a new VM with VirtualBox driver
docker-machine create -d virtualbox cmad
  • Once the VM is created, setup the environment with docker in order to connect to it and launch containers.
docker-machine env cmad

Executing above command will actually give you the actual instructions to setup environment.

e.g.

# Run this command to configure your shell:
# eval $(docker-machine env cmad)

You need to follow those instructions and execute the command given e.g.

eval $(docker-machine env cmad)
  • Validate connectivity to docker daemon. The following command can show blank results, but should not throw an error.
docker images
REPOSITORY                          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

You are ready to launch/manage container based environments.

Download Docker images

Run the following commands to download the necessary images

docker pull jenkins
docker pull sonarqube
docker pull mattgruter/artifactory
docker pull tomcat
