I dont see the image anywhere in the Docker Kitematic GUI after refresh?

@scheung38 I don't use the Kitematic UI, but you can run it using (customise the environment variables):

docker run --rm \
-e ROOT_URL=http://yourapp.com \
-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://url \
-e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplog_url \
-p 8080:80 \
yourname/app

[scheung38]

Thanks Chris, but if ROOT_URL, MONGO_URL MONGO_OPLOG are not previously defined as part of the build, I can attach to it later?

[chriswessels]

See here: https://github.com/chriswessels/meteor-tupperware#running-your-app-image

You can embed the environment variable definitions into your Dockerfile (and thus image) with the ENV directive.

[scheung38]

Could you give example of where

ROOT_URL, MONGO_URL MONGO_OPLOG as well as yourname/app are defined?

ENV MONGO_URL="mongodb://localhost:27017/future_tasks" ROOT_URL="http://???"
MONGO_OPLOG_URL="mongodb://oplog_url"

But not sure if these are correct.

[chriswessels]

yourname/app is the name of the image you built with docker build -t yourname/app .. Please change it appropriately.

ROOT_URL, MONGO_URL and MONGO_OPLOG are all environment variables required by the Meteor app to run.

You can either provide them at run time, example:

docker run --rm \
-e ROOT_URL=http://yourapp.com \
-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://url \
-e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplog_url \
-p 8080:80 \
yourname/app

Or, you can include them in the Docker image by customising your Dockerfile to specify them, example:

FROM    quay.io/chriswessels/meteor-tupperware
ENV     MONGO_URL="mongodb://url" MONGO_OPLOG_URL="mongodb://oplog_url" ROOT_URL="http://yourapp.com"

MONGO_OPLOG_URL should be set if your Mongo host provides oplog access, and is typically set in this format (if you have a replica set):

MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplogger:PasswordForOplogger@mongo-server-1.example.com,mongo-server-2.example.com,mongo-server-3.example.com/local?authSource=admin&replicaSet=replicaSetName

Hi Chris

Could you give actual example ? It is just not clear enough for me where to obtain these

MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplogger:PasswordForOplogger@mongo-server-1.example.com,mongo-server-2.example.com,mongo-server-3.example.com/local?authSource=admin&replicaSet=replicaSetName

http://yourapp.com assumes it is using external hosting platform, but it is just internal for me so I wont have name but just IP address

docker build -t sebastianc/spark2acs .
unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat /Users/seb/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

EDIT:
$ meteor mongo --url
mongodb://127.0.0.1:3001/meteor

So

-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://url
becomes
-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:3001/meteor

correct?

So

docker run --rm
-e ROOT_URL=http://yourapp.com
-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://url
-e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplog_url
-p 8080:80
yourname/app

becomes

docker run --rm \
-e ROOT_URL=http://yourapp.com \ <-?? Don't have hostname
-e MONGO_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:3001/meteor
-e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplog_url \ <-- ??
-p 8080:80
yourname/app <--??

Don't have any idea how to resolve the others

If you could show actual example with real values that would be highly appreciated, cheers

Will respond in your other issue.
