bevand10/alpine-beanstalk repository overview

⁠README

This container is a fork of https://github.com/mendsley/docker-alpine-beanstalk⁠.

However, it has been enhanced in the following ways:

• The base has been explicitly set to alpine:3.4
• Auto-start has been added.
• Optional persistent storage ability has been added (2016-09-13 09:27).

Using the container

To run, simply execute

docker run -p 11300:11300 -ti bevand10/alpine-beanstalk

This will start the container and produce something along the lines of

#!shell
docker run -p 11300:11300 -ti bevand10/alpine-beanstalk

Waiting for SIGTERM

The container stays alive until it is stopped with either docker stop or docker kill.

Verbose mode

To start with more diagnostics, override the std run command as follows:

docker run -p 11300:11300 -ti bevand10/alpine-beanstalk /run.sh -V

For more verbosity, add another V.

Persistent Storage mode

To persist beanstalkd queue data, mount a VOLUME when starting your container - either a local directory or link to a volume in another container. Your volume MUST be mounted as /binlog in your docker container.

For example, using /home/myaccount/beanstore as the target persist my beanstalkd data here folder, start your docker as follows:

docker run -p 11300:11300 -v /home/myaccount/beanstore:/binlog -ti bevand10/alpine-beanstalk

The startup script (run.sh) detects the presence of the /binlog mount and adds the appropriate startup argument (-b /binlog) to the beanstalkd execute command.
