Docker landscape server container

Ubuntu LandScape Docker Container

This container runs the Ubuntu landscape server components

#Requirements

• Landscape requires a postgres 9.3/9.4 server with plpython and the debversion modules installed
• A rabbitmq server is also required as the message bus between the various components

#TLS

There is a placeholer certificate in the files/certs directory which gets added to the container and used by apache for the SSL endpoint.

This has a common name of 'landscape-server'. This should be replaced with a valid certificate and key

#Running locally

There is a docker compose file which will bring up a landscape server, this will bring up the landscape server on port 80/443 on your docker host

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

It does the following:

Postgres database server

Create a postgres container based off of the official 9.4 version with plpython and debversion installed

docker build -t postgres .
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgres

Rabbitmq server

Create a rabbitmq container that will be linked in, which has the management module enables so you can access it via a web console

docker run -d --name rabbitmq -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management

Landscape container creation

Then it build the landscape container, this container is based on ubuntu:14.04, this will link the postgres container into the landscape container and use that, if you have an external postgres instance you would just set the variables that are required

docker build -t landscape-server
docker run -d --link postgres:postgres --link rabbitmq:rabbitmq -e INITIALIZE_SCHEMA=yes -e DB_USER=postgres -e DB_PASS=password -e DB_LANDSCAPE_PASS=password -p 80:80 -p 443:443 landscape-server

Valid commands for the landscape container

• app:schema - This will create the landscape user and schema but not start the application
• app:start - This starts the application, this is also the default action

#Variables that can be set

Variable	Default	Usage
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME	empty	Wait number of seconds before starting process, useful for waiting for other services to come up
INITIALIZE_SCHEMA	empty	If set this will create the database schema or confirm it is valid
DB_HOST	empty	The postgres server hostname
DB_PORT	5432	The postgres server port
DB_LANDSCAPE_PASS	password	The landscape user password
DB_USER	landscape	The postgres super user, this user is used for schema creation
DB_PASS	landscape	The postgres super user password
DB_NAME	postgres	The default database name for testing connectivity
RMQ_HOST	empty	The rabbitmq server hostname
RMQ_PORT	5672	The rabbitmq server amqp port
RMQ_USER	guest	The rabbitmq user
RMQ_PASS	guest	The rabbitmq password
RMQ_VHOST	default	The vhost to be used by the message broker

docker-landscaper-server's Issues

Updates alerts don't fire

Because cron isn't launched in /sbin/entrypoint.sh updates (among many other things) aren't tracked. Additionally I put in a chmod to ensure /etc/cron.d/landscape-server is executable (not sure if it's needed or not but it doesn't hurt).

Missing a travis ci config

Make life easier for people submitting code to your repository. Make sure that you double check that their code works the best you can (even if that's just running a build of the package) in travis. This way potential contributors can fix bugs before you even need to look at their request. https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/6f1ba788bf70fb501439

add in relevant licenses / readmes etc

dist-upgrade makes Dockerfile non-idempotent

Thanks for this. I wanted to test Landscape in a sandbox, and found your docker setup. It works fabulously, but I wanted to point out that the
RUN apt-get -fy dist-upgrade
in Dockerfile makes it currently fail. It's not generally recommended that Dockerfiles do an upgrade as you have no control of the results.

Unable to validate credentials
