README

        
This hack was written in 2014 as a participating entry in the Docker global hack day. Popular voting came to a close and many interesting projects came out of it. This particular project would require some cleanup and less hack-like code to really be useful, but it was an interesting experiment and certainly scratched an itch.  https://www.docker.com/community/globalhackday#24

blimp

=====

Mechanism to easily move a container from one Docker host to another, show containers running against all of your hosts, replicate a container across multiple hosts and more.

Presently relies on Docker `machine` at https://github.com/docker/machine

See it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L66f5kkN7W8

environment

=======

The environment variable `DOCKER_BINARY` can be set to a specific path for an alternate or path-specific docker binary. Often needed if you have built the branch for `docker machines` capability on a shared system.

install

=======

dependencies: curl, perl

install Docker machine, you can build it from https://github.com/docker/machine, or you can run it from a Docker container: defermat/machine)

add some hosts using `docker-machine`

`git clone https://github.com/tubesandlube/blimp.git`

`cd blimp/bin`

`./blimp`

Note: for logging, setup syslog, and blimp will automatically send messages there.

usage

=====

see [``commands.md``](https://github.com/tubesandlube/blimp/blob/master/commands.md)

faq

What do I do if I see this error?

```

  Can't locate JSON.pm in @INC (you may need to install the JSON module) (@INC contains: ../lib ../lib /etc/perl

  /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18

  /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./blimp line 55.

  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./blimp line 55.

```

Install the JSON library via the CPAN shell:

```

sudo cpan install JSON

```

or

```

PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install JSON'

```
