Resources for deploying Graphite in Docker.

docker-graphite

This project provides resources for deploying Graphite in Docker.

Image Platform

RHEL7

Image Dependencies

RHEL7 Subscription

EPEL for RHEL7

Building

1. Build the Graphite Carbon image:

   $ cd carbon
   $ docker build -t graphite-carbon .
   

2. Build the Graphite Web image:

   $ cd web
   $ docker build -t graphite-web .
   

Customizing the Carbon Image

The Carbon image copies in configuration files found in the carbon/rhel directory. To produce a Carbon image with custom configuration, the following files may be modified:

• carbon/rhel/etc/carbon/carbon.conf
• carbon/rhel/etc/carbon/storage-schemas.conf

Launching Graphite

Note: Before launching Graphite, you will have needed to configured and started a database for use with Graphite. The following steps assume this has already been done in a container named "graphite-db".

1. Launch Carbon:

   $ docker run -d -P --name graphite-carbon graphite-carbon
   

2. Initialize the Graphite database:

   $ docker run --rm --link graphite-db:db \
       --entrypoint /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/graphite/manage.py \
       graphite-web syncdb --noinput
   

3. Launch Graphite:

   $ docker run -d -P --volumes-from graphite-carbon --link graphite-db:db \
       --name graphite-web graphite-web
   

Networking

The Graphite Carbon image exposes ports 2003, 2004, and 7002.

The Graphite Web image exposes port 80.
