container-maker

API to create, list, delete and update containers in different container environments. Currently supported: Docker and Kubernetes

Setup

1. Before starting this container maker you need to have grpc certificates in place.
2. To do that visit this repository: https://github.com/Zim95/grpc_ssl_cert_generator and follow the steps mentioned in the README.md file.

Run locally

1. Clone the repository

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Zim95/container-maker
   

2. Incase you miss the step to recurse submodules:

   git submodule update --init --recursive
   

3. Install the requirements.

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the setup command.

   pip install container-maker-spec/
   

5. You should now be able to run the application.

   python app.py
   

6. If you want to run in ssl mode, you need the certificates locally. You can go to this: https://github.com/Zim95/grpc_ssl_cert_generator repository and look up how to generate only certificates. Once done, you can use the following command:

   python app.py --use_ssl true
   

Build and deploy: Debug

1. Clone the repository, if you haven't already.

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Zim95/container-maker
   

2. Incase you miss the step to recurse submodules:

   git submodule update --init --recursive
   

3. Build the debug image by running this script.

   ./scripts/debug-build.sh
   

4. Deploy on kubernetes.

   kubectl apply -f deployement/deployment-debug.yaml
   

5. Check for the pods:

   kubectl get pods -n browseterm | grep container-maker-debug
   

6. Exec into any one of the pods (if there are multiple):

   kubectl exec -it <pod id> -n browseterm -- bash
   

7. Either run ipython to check for changes. Or you can run the app:

   python app.py --use_ssl true
   

8. Now also run the jupyter notebook. Do this from a separate terminal window, keep the app running:

   kubectl port-forward pod/<pod id> -n browseterm 8888:8888
   

   Navigate to localhost:8000 and go to the demo folder.

9. You can now make changes and experment things using the jupyter notebook.

Build and deploy:

1. Clone the repository, if you haven't already.

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Zim95/container-maker
   

2. Incase you miss the step to recurse submodules:

   git submodule update --init --recursive
   

3. Build the image
