autodock-hipache

Hipache Plugin for autodock.

autodock-hipache is MIT licensed.

note

See: autodock

Basic Usage

Start the daemon:

$ docker run -d --name autodock prologic/autodock

Link and start the autodock Hipache Plugin:

$ docker run -d --link autodock prologic/autodock-hipache

Now whenever you start a new container autodock will listen for Docker events and discover containers that have been started. The autodock-hipache plugin will specifically listen for starting containers that have a VIRTUALHOST environment variable and reconfigure the running hipache container.

An optional ALIAS environment value can be given as an extra virtualhost typically used for a www. alias to a domain.

Start a "Hello World" Web Application:

$ docker run -d -e VIRTUALHOST=hello.local prologic/hello
curl -q -o - -H 'Host: hello.local' http://localhost/
Hello World!

note

This method of hosting and managing webapps and websites is in
production deployments and talked about in more detail in the post A Docker-based mini-PaaS.

hello:
    image: prologic/hello
    environment:
        - VIRTUALHOST=hello.mydomain.com
        - ALIAS=hello.local

note

The version of Hipache used here will not startup unless you have
setup SSL certificates, so the sslcerts volume is requried for a correctly functionining system.
