masm/sireg repository overview

⁠sireg

This is the implementation of a simple registry service inspired by registrator⁠.

It handle a single use case: registering containers in Consul, using the containers internal IP. It was created because, at the time, registrator implementation had a bug for this specific use case.

You should consider not using this and use registrator instead, if it works for you.

⁠Install

Pull this image with docker pull masm/sireg.

⁠Usage

Run it with docker run masm/sireg.

Although this is very similar to registrator, there are some small differences:

• You have to explicitly use environment variable for all services you want to register: not specifying any environment variable will not register any service;

• You have to specify the port in the environment variable name; SERVICE_NAME does not work. You need to have one SERVICE_<PORT>_NAME for each port you want to export.

• The key of the service used in consul uses the service name and the port number. If you have two similar services in the same host (same service name and port number), one will override the other. You can use SERVICE_<PORT>_DESCRIMINATOR to handle that. It works as SERVICE_<PORT>_TAGS, except that that value is also used in the Consul's service name, allowing you to have two instances of a service running in the same host.
