vpc
===
Virtual Private Cluster - configure an iptables whitelist for a private network of docker hosts.
Basically a poor mans [Virtual Private Cloud](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_cloud)

## Why?
Beacuse I wanted my own little network of machines inside Digital Ocean all communicating over the private network.
I didn't want other droplets to be able to connect to the services on my droplets.
I did want to still talk to docker containers from my other droplets.
vpc is an api to do this - it is based on [iptables-boilerplate](https://github.com/bmaeser/iptables-boilerplate) with an api to manage hosts and ports and with modifications to play nice with docker.
## installation
```
$ wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/binocarlos/vpc/master/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash
```
NOTE - until I have time to debug - this needs running twice
## usage
vpc allows easy whitelisting of ip addresses and ports.
```bash
$ vpc add-host 192.168.8.120
$ vpc add-host 192.168.8.121
$ vpc add-host 192.168.8.122
$ vpc add-port 1978
$ vpc apply
```
you can see the entries:
```bash
$ vpc ls
```
and you can see how it affects iptables:
```bash
$ vpc status
```
The default is for everything is be disallowed apart from ports:
* 22
* 80
* 443
### vpc add-host
Add a new host to the whitelist:
```bash
$ sudo vpc add-host 10.12.13.14
```
### vpc remove-host
Remove a host from the whitelist:
```bash
$ sudo vpc remove-host 10.12.13.14
```
### vpc hosts
List the hosts in the whitelist:
```bash
$ sudo vpc hosts
```
### vpc add-port

```bash
$ sudo vpc add-port 443
```
### vpc remove-port

```bash
$ sudo vpc remove-port 443
```
### vpc ports

```bash
$ sudo vpc ports
```
### vpc ls
