Utility for managing groups of docker containers.
Usage: dock [-h] [-d DIR] ACTION GROUP...
Execute ACTION on each container in container group GROUP.
-h display this help and exit
-d DIR work with container groups stored in DIR
ACTION may be one of:
start starts previously created group (docker start)
stop stops previously created group (docker stop)
remove removes containers (docker rm -v)
create runs commands in definition file to create GROUP
build builds images for GROUP from defined source repositories
pull pulls images without defined source repositories from registry
backup renames containers in GROUP to have a -backup suffix
remove-backup removes previous backup
restart restart GROUP (stop, start)
recreate recreate GROUP (conditional-build, stop, remove, create)
update update GROUP (pull, build, stop, remove-backup, backup, create)
Each container group consists of a shell script at DIR/definitions/GROUP that
defines the group.
Documentation for groups may be stored in files in DIR/docs/GROUP/.
Source files for building images will be stored in DIR/build/IMAGE/.
Each group also has the following directories available for container volumes,
each with associated environment variables available in the definition script:
DIR/volumes-config/GROUP/
used for text-based configuration files, may be world-readable
avoid placing secrets, keys or passwords here as this directory
available as CONFIG_VOLUMES_DIR
DIR/volumes-data/GROUP/
directory where volumes that store data should be placed
this directory should NOT be world-readable
available as DATA_VOLUMES_DIR
DIR/volumes-secret/GROUP/
used for configuration files that include secrets, keys or passwords
this directory should NOT be world-readable
available as SECRET_VOLUMES_DIR
A shell script can be placed at '/etc/dock' which will be loaded on startup.
The following variables will be used from the script:
defaultContainerPath Default value for DIR
