/docker-ddc-softlayer

Primary LanguageShell

Deploy a Docker Datacenter environment in SoftLayer with a single command! It's that simple.

Prerequisites:

  1. PIP - sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
  2. SoftLayer CLI - sudo pip install --upgrade pip softlayer
  3. Ansible v2.0 or newer- sudo apt-get install ansible
  4. sshpass - sudo apt-get install sshpass
  5. A default SSH key must exist on your local platform. If one does not exist, this can be created via the command ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

NOTE: If you encounter SSH issues running from Ubuntu, install sudo pip install requests[security] first. If that does not eliminate the issue, you may be hitting an issue with GNOME Keyring. See this article for a fix.

Deployment:

Follow this procedure:

  • First clone this project: git clone https://github.com/patrocinio/docker-ddc-softlayer.git
  • Edit the file ~/.softlayer to contain the following information:
[softlayer]
username = <IBM Cloud user name>
api_key = <IBM Cloud API key>
endpoint_url = https://api.softlayer.com/xmlrpc/v3.1/
timeout = 0

Check https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/generate-api-key to see how you can generate an API key

  • Optionally, edit the docker-ddc.cfg file to contain the following SoftLayer configuration

    • DATACENTER: Run the following command to obtain the data center code: slcli vs create-options | grep datacenter
    • DOMAIN: hostname domain
    • SERVER_TYPE: bare for bare metal; anything else for virtual servers
    • For virtual servers:
      • CPU: Define the number of CPIUs you want in each server
      • MEMORY: Define the amount of RAM (in MB) in each server
    • For bare metal:
      • SIZE: Run slcli server create-options for values
    • PUBLIC_VLAN: Define the public VLAN number
    • PRIVATE_VLAN: Define the private VLAN number

  • Run the following command: deploy-ddc.sh

Simple, no?
