Ubiquity Hosting driver for Docker Machine

Install this driver in your PATH and you can create docker hosts on Ubiquity Hosting.

Installation

Official release versions of the driver include a binary for Linux, MacOS and Windows. You can find them on the GitHub releases page.

Pick the binary you require, download it into a directory on your PATH as a file called docker-machine-driver-ubiquity and make it executable.

Linux:

curl -sSL -o /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity \
https://github.com/ubiquityhosting/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity/releases/download/v0.0.1/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity_linux-amd64 && \
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity

Mac OSX

sudo curl -sSL -o /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity https://github.com/ubiquityhosting/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity/releases/download/v0.0.1/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity_darwin-amd64 &&
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-ubiquity

Obtaining credentials

Login to Ubiquity Motion and navigate to API Tools. Take note of your Reseller ID, Remote ID, and Access Key - these will be needed later.

Using the driver

To use the driver first make sure you are running at least version 0.5.1 of docker-machine.

$ docker-machine -v
docker-machine version 0.5.1 (7e8e38e)

Check that docker-machine can see the Ubiquity Hosting driver by asking for the driver help.

$ docker-machine create -d ubiquity | more
Usage: docker-machine create [OPTIONS] [arg...]

Create a machine.

Specify a driver with --driver to include the create flags for that driver in the help text.

Options:

Option	Environment Variable	Default	Description	Required?
--ubiquity-api-token	UBIQUITY_API_TOKEN		Ubiquity Access Key for authentication	Y
--ubiquity-api-username	UBIQUITY_API_USERNAME		Ubiquity Remote ID for authentication	Y
--ubiquity-client-id	UBIQUITY_CLIENT_ID		Ubiquity Reseller ID for account authentication	Y
--ubiquity-flavor-id	UBIQUITY_FLAVOR_ID	1	Ubiquity VM size details for VM creation
--ubiquity-image-id	UBIQUITY_IMAGE_ID	18	Ubiquity VM image for VM creation
--ubiquity-zone-id	UBIQUITY_ZONE_ID	7	Ubiquity zone location for VM creation

To create a machine you'll need the API credential details you obtained earlier.

Then creating a Docker host is as simple as

$ docker-machine create -d ubiquity --ubiquity-client-id 1234 --ubiquity-api-username ubic-1234 --ubiquity-api-token 273182f1237b361cd9de8b3ea651905d  example

Changing the settings
