Bootstrap

$ vagrant up

Fire up a Job

$ vagrant ssh docker1

vagrant@docker1:~$ cd /vagrant/services

vagrant@docker1:/vagrant$ nomad run loadbalancer.nomad

vagrant@docker1:/vagrant$ nomad run web.nomad

View nodes & service in consul

http://192.168.0.20:8500

Get docker instance meta-data from consul

$ curl http://192.168.0.20:8500/v1/catalog/service/web-nodejs

  • In two servers configuration you can use both servers to action above operations

Check job status from nomad client

vagrant@docker1:~$ nomad node-status

vagrant@docker1:$ nomad status loadbalancer vagrant@docker1:$ nomad status web

Check Haproxy config generated by consul_template

Go any of vm , like docker1 , docker 2 ,docker 3

vagrant@docker1:~$ docker exec haproxy_container_id cat /haproxy/haproxy.cfg

vagrant@docker2:~$ docker exec haproxy_container_id cat /haproxy/haproxy.cfg

vagrant@docker3:~$ docker exec haproxy_container_id cat /haproxy/haproxy.cfg

Access the web application

http://web-nodejs.192.168.0.20.xip.io/

Watch the hostname in the page , it actually a container ID

Hello Http :46847201c374

Check the internal port within web docker instance

docker exec web-nodejs_container_id nc -vz localhost 6379

beer!
