For a detailed description read this blog entry.

sbt docker:publishLocal
docker run --name seed-1 -d akka-docker-cluster:2.3.4 --seed
export SEED_1_IP=$(docker inspect --format="{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}" seed-1)
docker run --name seed-2 -d akka-docker-cluster:2.3.4 --seed $SEED_1_IP:2551
export SEED_2_IP=$(docker inspect --format="{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}" seed-2)
docker run --name node-1 -d akka-docker-cluster:2.3.4 $SEED_1_IP:2551 $SEED_2_IP:2551
docker run --name node-2 -d akka-docker-cluster:2.3.4 $SEED_1_IP:2551 $SEED_2_IP:2551

SBT - none docker

Of course you can run your cluster within sbt for test purposes.

sbt runSeed
sbt runNode
