Image that should work out of the box and export the default protocol buffers and http interfaces. This is intended just for development with one node only. NOT FOR PRODUCTION

Modifications

• ring_size 8. Docker have a default ulimit of 1024 (without modification). So this riak works out of the box.
• /usr/sbin/riak Modify with 3 changes:
  • Don't show ulimit alert
  • Don't move to background and stay active (remove the -daemon from the riak start).
  • run riak-admin test every 60 seconds to confirm (it is normal that the first fails while riak is starting)

Exported ports

• 8098
• 8087
