I want to create several VMs that have docker
pre-installed.
What is the best/recommended way to go about this?
a) Have Docker provisioner do something dummy, just so that Docker gets installed, e.g.
mymachine.vm.provision "docker" do |docknode|
# do something pointless
end
b) run docker installation via a shell provisioner script?
mymachine.vm.provision "shell", path: "docker-installation-script.sh"
c) use a Vagrant image that comes with Docker pre-installed?
If you are using fairly recent Vagrant with Docker provisioner support (e.g. the steps below were tested using 2.2.6), then you can install Docker with a very simple one or two one-liners, without the d.run or similar hacks:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu1904"
# Install Docker
config.vm.provision :docker
# Install Docker Compose
# First, install required plugin https://github.com/leighmcculloch/vagrant-docker-compose:
# vagrant plugin install vagrant-docker-compose
config.vm.provision :docker_compose
end
Run vagrant provision
or vagrant up
and observe this output:
==> default: Running provisioner: docker...
default: Installing Docker onto machine...
==> default: Running provisioner: docker_compose...
default: Checking for Docker Compose installation...
default: Getting machine and kernel name from guest machine...
default: Downloading Docker Compose 1.24.1 for Linux x86_64
default: Uploading Docker Compose 1.24.1 to guest machine...
default: Installing Docker Compose 1.24.1 in guest machine...
default: Symlinking Docker Compose 1.24.1 in guest machine...
Finally, vagrant ssh
to the VM and check versions of the deployed Docker infrastructure:
