bbytes/base repository overview

⁠docker-base

The base image with localhost tpc forward option using rinetd tool

Based on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Supervisord is a linux process manager . It allows us to start containers with e.g.

multiple processes
a deamon / background process
launch groups of processes in a specific order

We have port mapping feature too . For eg start the docker image with

docker run -i -t -e TCP_FORWARD="127.0.0.1 80 74.125.224.72 80" bbytes/base  supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor.conf

This will start the image and port mapping bash file will be executes , this adds a port forwarding rule saying any request to 127.0.0.1:80 will go to 74.125.224.72:80 . This might be useful for inter container communication .

Another Usage for multiple mappings :

We separate using comma like the one given below

docker run -i -t -e TCP_FORWARD="127.0.0.1 80 74.125.224.72 80,127.0.0.1 8090 74.125.224.72 8001" bbytes/base supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor.conf

To make easy use of supervisord, an inheriting Docker project should contain a file [SOME_NAME].conf and add that to /etc/supervisor/conf.d in the Dockerfile. Note that you can find examples of such files in this repositories projects.

To run supervisor, you can add CMD supervisord -c /etc/supervisor.conf.
