Setup Environments

This section describes the hardware and software needed for this workshop, and how to configure them. This workshop is designed for a BYOL (Brying Your Own Laptop) style hands-on-lab.

Hardware

  1. Operating System: Mac OS X (10.10+), Windows 10 Pro+, Ubuntu 12+, CentOS 7+

  2. Memory: At least 4 GB+, preferred 8 GB

Install Docker

Docker runs natively on Mac, Windows and Linux. This lab will use Docker Community Edition. Follow the instructions to install Docker.

Note
 Docker for Mac and Windows have requirements for a fairly recent operating system version. If your machine does not meet these requirements, then you need to install Docker Toolbox.

Additional components

Install the following additional components:

Docker Toolbox Notes

Skip this section if you are not using Docker Toolbox for Mac or Windows.

  1. Default Docker Machine: Docker Toolbox creates a Docker Machine named default. To make it easier to start/stop the containers, an entry is added into the host mapping table of your operating system.

    Find out the IP address of your Docker Machine:

    docker-machine ip default

    This will provide the IP address associated with the Docker Machine created by Toolbox.

    Edit /etc/hosts (Mac OS) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) and add:

<IP ADDRESS>  dockerhost

+ This allows to access Docker containers using dockerhost.

+ . Docker CLI Shell: Any Docker CLI command needs to be issued from the Terminal or Command Prompt where eval $(docker-machine env default) command was issued. This will make sure Docker CLI is configured to talk to the VM created by Docker Toolbox.

Download Images

This tutorial uses a few Docker images and software. Let’s download them before we start the tutorial.

Download the file from https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/developer-tools/java/scripts/docker-compose-pull-images.yml and give the command to pull all the images:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-pull-images.yml pull
Note
 For Linux, docker-compose and docker commands need sudo access. So prefix all commands with sudo.

Other Software

  1. Download Java IDE based upon your choice and install.

  2. Download Maven and install.

  3. Install Docker Cloud CLI following the instructions.
