simple docker-image to wait for tcp services to be ready
874
A very simple alpine-based docker image embedding a very simple netcat-based shell script.
A lot of different wait scripts exist already, so why another one?
It appears that all of them are based on the old --link mechanisms.
None of them handle easily the new network-based hostnames.
This one differs by providing an arbitrary host and port via command line argument.
It also handles DELAY and RETRIES via env variables.
Imagine you use docker-compose 1.6+.
It will by default create a network based on the current directory name (let's assume: "my_project").
Note: docker-compose will by default create a network name "my_project_default".
Now imagine you have a "db" container that should listen on port 3306.
Note: docker-compose will create aliases for the "db" service. Both "my_project_db_1" and "db" are valid.
docker run --net my_project_default docteurklein/wait db 3306
If you want to increase the delay (10sec between each retry):
docker run -e DELAY=10 --net my_project_default docteurklein/wait db 3306
If you want to limit to 10 retries:
docker run -e RETRIES=10 --net my_project_default docteurklein/wait db 3306
Note: You can combine both
DELAYandRETRIES.
