Windows 2016 Containers implementation based on Microsoft Host Compute Service Shim for Cloud Foundry Garden.
- golang 1.7.x
- gcc from mingw-w64
- Windows 2016 Server 1607 (10.0.14393) or newer.
To build garden-hcs run go build or go get github.com/hpcloud/garden-hcs.
To run the Garden service start the garden-hcs.exe executable with administrative privileges.
The "baseImagePath" argument is required and is the base images for all containers created by garden. The simplest way to get a "baseImagePath" is to use an existing image from docker. For example to get the image path for "microsoft/windowsservercore" image use the following PS snippet:
(docker inspect microsoft/windowsservercore | ConvertFrom-Json).GraphDriver.Data.Dir
Garden-hcs run sample:
garden-hcs.exe -logLevel debug ^
-listenAddr 0.0.0.0:9241
-cellIP 192.168.50.16
-baseImagePath C:\ProgramData\docker\windowsfilter\9c733a479cd00784b96656b7628eb1c0da3c96dd4b672dcf2c29f2fc7dc58d8d`
The Garden API can be used directly with curl or Invoke-WebRequest.
Example:
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://localhost:9241/capacity
Another method is to use the Garden client "goal" adapted for windows. To install gaol for Windows use: go get github.com/stefanschneider/gaol
Gaol usage sample:
gaol /t 127.0.0.1:9241 create
gaol /t 127.0.0.1:9241 list
gaol /t 127.0.0.1:9241 shell <container-id>
