ficloud 0.1.4

Production cloud deployments of fig infrastructure with docker

ficloud
======

ficloud alows to deploy your fig infrastructure to remote servers. Also it
provides all the services needed for hosting production apps.

NB! ficloud is currently in concept stage, so documentation for future components is only thing that exist now.

Features:

- define your app config through Dockerfile and fig.yml
- easy deploy through git push
- pushing several versions of app (dev, staging, production ... etc)
- simple nginx based balancer
- easy switch balancer endpoint between app versions (ex swap prod and dev)
- persistent storage for containers
- easy copying persistence storage between containers (prod -> staging, etc)
- ftp access for container persistence storage

Installation
-------------

Install docker: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/

Make sure you can run docker containers::

$ sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu echo -e "\033[0;32mDocker is installed - OK\033[0m";

Install packages::

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install ficloud-server

Test that ficloud is working::

$ ficloud-server app-list

+-----+---------+-------+
| App | Version | State |
+-----+---------+-------+
+-----+---------+-------+

Create ficloud user (you can pick any username)::

$ sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -d /home/ficloud -m ficloud
$ sudo su ficloud
$ cd /home/ficloud
$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ vim ~/.authorized_keys # insert your ssh key into this file
$ chmod -R go-rwx ~/.ssh

Test you can ssh into your server using ficloud account::

$ ssh [e-mail]

Add ficloud user to docker group::

$ sudo usermod -a -G docker ficloud

Check ficloud can run docker now::

$ sudo su ficloud
$ docker run -i -t ubuntu echo -e "\033[0;32mFicloud can run Docker - OK\033[0m";
$ exit

Install haproxy::

$ sudo apt-get install haproxy
$ sudo echo "ENABLED=1" > /etc/default/haproxy
$ sudo service haproxy start
$ curl https://raw.github.com/pywizard/ficloud/master/examples/haproxy.cfg.tpl | sudo tee /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg.tpl

Now install incron to reconfigure haproxy, when you deploy new apps::

$ sudo apt-get install incron
$ sudo echo "root" > /etc/incron.allow

Edit incrontab file and insert lines generated by inotify-dump in incrontab file::

$ ficloud-server inotify-dump

/home/ficloud/apps-conf IN_MODIFY,IN_CREATE,IN_DELETE,IN_NO_LOOP /usr/local/bin/ficloud-server balancer-dump /home/ficloud/apps-conf
/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg.tpl IN_MODIFY,IN_CREATE,IN_DELETE,IN_NO_LOOP /usr/local/bin/ficloud-server balancer-dump /home/ficloud/apps-conf

$ sudo incrontab -e

And the last thing. Allow ficloud to read-write any docker container volume:

$ sudo setfacl -m user:ficloud:rX /var/lib/docker
$ sudo setfacl -R -m user:ficloud:rwX /var/lib/docker/vfs
$ sudo setfacl -R -m default:user:ficloud:rwX /var/lib/docker/vfs


Deployement
-------------

Start by creating application that is working locally using fig.yml

Set working ssh account::

$ ficloud use [e-mail]

Create an application:

$ ficloud remote app-create foo

Deploy code:

$ git push [e-mail]:apps/foo master:prod

Check port number:

$ ficloud remote app-list

Configure balancer:

$ ficloud remote balancer set mydomain.com web:80@foo#prod

Your app is deployed!
