rundeck

This repository contains the source for the Rundeck docker image.

Image details

  1. Based on debian:jessie
  2. Supervisor, Apache2, and rundeck
  3. No SSH. Use docker exec or nsenter
  4. If RUNDECK_PASSWORD is not supplied, it will be randomly generated and shown via stdout.
  5. Supply the SERVER_URL or else you won't get too far :)
  6. As always, update passwords for pre-installed accounts
  7. I sometimes get connection reset by peer errors when building the Docker image from the Rundeck download URL. Trying again usually works.

Automated build

docker pull jordan/rundeck

Usage

Start a new container and bind to host's port 4440

sudo docker run -p 4440:4440 -e SERVER_URL=http://MY.HOSTNAME.COM:4440 -t jordan/rundeck:latest

Rundeck plugins

To add (external) plugins, add the jars to the /opt/rundeck-plugins volume and they will be copied over to Rundeck's libext directory at container startup

Environment variables

SERVER_URL - Full URL in the form http://MY.HOSTNAME.COM:4440, http//123.456.789.012:4440, etc

EXTERNAL_SERVER_URL - Use this if you are running rundeck behind a proxy.  This is useful if you run rundeck through some kind of external network gateway/load balancer.  Note that utilities like rd-jobs and rd-projects will no longer work and you will need to use the newer [rd](https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck-cli) command line utility.

RDECK_JVM - Additional parameters sent to the rundeck JVM (ex: -Dserver.web.context=/rundeck)

DATABASE_URL - For use with (container) external database

RUNDECK_UID - The unix user ID to be used for the rundeck account when rundeck is booted.  This is useful for embedding this docker container into your development environment sharing files via docker volumes between the container and your host OS.  RUNDECK_GID also needs to be defined for this overload to take place.

RUNDECK_GID - The unix group ID to be used for the rundeck account when rundeck is booted.  This is useful for embedding this docker container into your development environment sharing files via docker volumes between the container and your host OS.  RUNDECK_UID also needs to be defined for this overload to take place.

RUNDECK_PASSWORD - MySQL 'rundeck' user password

RUNDECK_ADMIN_PASSWORD - The rundeck server admin password

RUNDECK_STORAGE_PROVIDER - Options file (default) or db.  See: http://rundeck.org/docs/plugins-user-guide/configuring.html#storage-plugins
