Shipyard Docker Swarm Management - Notes

[Patrick]

Our Shipyard is going live on the 4-node demo cluster today. This is part of testing Rancher, Shipyard and Portainer to see what is the easiest to use.

Setup nodes:

• Setup on the cluster is a bit different. Instead of using Docker Swarm to add nodes, Shipyard is adding many more components
• There are several containers being launched for Shipyard running curl, rethinkdb, etcd and others
• Installation is easy. One line:
  

  curl -sSL https://shipyard-project.com/deploy | bash -s

• Adding additional nodes:
  

  curl -sSL https://shipyard-project.com/deploy | ACTION=node DISCOVERY=etcd://10.0.9.100:4001 bash -s

  Where 10.0.9.100 is the manager. Etcd based instead of using Swarm.

• UI is nice. I like the single page container deployment screen

• Making a container is very straightforward. I like the ability to even add things like CPU/ RAM constraints directly on the page.

• Making a service and running it with a number of replicas or as a global service is much less so.
