Usage

You can run the Maas web interface statically (not for development) as follows:

docker run --detach --name=maas --publish 5240:5240 ubuntudesign/maas

You may have to wait a couple of minutes for the container to start fully.

For local development

Make sure you have the Maas repository checked out:

bzr branch lp:maas maas  # Get the repository
cd maas                  # Enter the directory

Run the container, but link /maas to your checked-out repository:

docker run --detach --name=maas --volume `pwd`:/maas --publish 5240:5240 ubuntudesign/maas

You may have to wait a couple of minutes for the container to start fully.

Now visit http://localhost:5240 to view the site.

NB: If you're on MacOS or Windows use http://{your-docker-vm-ip-address}:5240 instead.

Test credentials

You can login to the web interface with one of:

usernames: "admin" or "test"
password: test

Stopping and resuming

docker stop maas  # stop the container
docker start maas  # resume the container

Refreshing the container

If you want to re-run the docker container from scratch, you need to remove the old one first:

docker rm -f maas
docker run ...

Debugging

To see the full output from the container, you can attach to it:

docker attach --sig-proxy=false maas
