tango-workspace

This project allows one to deploy TANGO Controls in a distributed setup using Docker containers.

Following hosts are configured:

• mariad_db
  • Maria database
• databaseds
  • DataBaseds
  • Starter
  • TangoAccessControl
• tangotest
  • Starter
  • TangoTest
• taurus
  • Starter
  • Taurus

Getting started

Make sure you have required software:

• Docker 1.10 (or better)
• Docker Compose 1.7 (or better)

Clone the repository and type and start docker-compose:

$ git clone https://github.com/synchrotron-solaris/tango-workspace.git
$ cd tango-workspace; docker-compose up

Check addresses of your containers:

$ ./status.sh
databaseds.workspace   is running on: 172.18.0.3:10000
mtango.workspace       is running on: 172.18.0.5:8080

Remember, in docker-compose.yml, taurus section, you have to set DISPLAY to your_ip_addres:0

You should also have started some kind of X server (i.e. Xming for Windows). For Xming, start XLaunch (not Xming) and tick option 'No Acces control'.

Shutdown the cluster when you are done:

$ docker-compose down

Persistent database

If you want the database persistent, just uncomment the following line in docker-compose.yml:

- ./.data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

Problems with maria_db or databaseds

If you encounter problems with starting one of those containers, change in docker-compose.yml those relative directories

./.config/initdb:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:ro
./.config/supervisord:/etc/supervisor/init.d:ro

to absolute ones, i.e.

C:/Users/docker_repo/tango-workspace/.config/initdb:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:ro
C:/Users/docker_repo/tango-workspace/.config/supervisord:/etc/supervisor/init.d:ro
