Docker Machine

Machine makes it really easy to create Docker hosts on your computer, on cloud providers and inside your own data center. It creates servers, installs Docker on them, then configures the Docker client to talk to them.

It works a bit like this:

$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox dev
INFO[0000] Creating SSH key...
INFO[0000] Creating VirtualBox VM...
INFO[0007] Starting VirtualBox VM...
INFO[0007] Waiting for VM to start...
INFO[0041] "dev" has been created and is now the active machine.
INFO[0041] To point your Docker client at it, run this in your shell: $(docker-machine env dev)

$ docker-machine ls
NAME   ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM

$ $(docker-machine env dev)

$ docker run busybox echo hello world

Contributing

Want to hack on Machine? Docker's contributions guidelines apply.

The requirements to build Machine are:

1. A running instance of Docker
2. The bash shell

To build, run:

$ script/build

From the Machine repository's root. Machine will run the build inside of a Docker container and the compiled binaries will appear in the project directory on the host.

By default, Machine will run a build which cross-compiles binaries for a variety of architectures and operating systems. If you know that you are only compiling for a particular architecture and/or operating system, you can speed up compilation by overriding the default argument that the build script passes to gox. This is very useful if you want to iterate quickly on a new feature, bug fix, etc.

For instance, if you only want to compile for use on OSX with the x86_64 arch, run:

$ script/build -osarch="darwin/amd64"

If you have any questions we're in #docker-machine on Freenode.

Unit Tests

To run the unit tests for the whole project, using the following script:

$ script/test

This will run the unit tests inside of a container, so you don't have to worry about configuring your environment properly before doing so.

To run the unit tests for only a specific subdirectory of the project, you can pass an argument to that script to specify which directory, e.g.:

$ script/test ./drivers/amazonec2

If you make a pull request, it is highly encouraged that you submit tests for the code that you have added or modified in the same pull request.

Code Coverage

Machine includes a script to check for missing *_test.go files and to generate an HTML-based repesentation of which code is covered by tests.

To run the code coverage script, execute:

$ ./script/coverage serve

You will see the results of the code coverage check as they come in.

This will also generate the code coverage website and serve it from a container on port 8000. By default, / will show you the source files from the base directory, and you can navigate to the coverage for any particular subdirectory of the Docker Machine repo's root by going to that path. For instance, to see the coverage for the VirtualBox driver's package, browse to /drivers/virtualbox.

You can hit CTRL+C to stop the server.

Integration Tests

There is a suite of integration tests that will run for the drivers. In order to use these you must export the corresponding environment variables for each driver as these perform the actual actions (start, stop, restart, kill, etc).

By default, the suite will run tests against all drivers in master. You can override this by setting the environment variable MACHINE_TESTS. For example, MACHINE_TESTS="virtualbox" ./script/run-integration-tests will only run the virtualbox driver integration tests.

You can set the path to the machine binary under test using the MACHINE_BINARY environment variable.

To run, use the helper script ./script/run-integration-tests.
