Fedora

Warning This guide is based on an old version of Docker. The instructions you find below may be already removed or changed in the Docker codebase. In my last blog post I explained how to run a Docker installation across multiple hosts. In the comments I was asked if it would be possible to use a DHCP server to assign IPs to the containers. I thought immediately — why not? In fact, assigning IPs using DHCP is a nice way to overcome the IP assignment issue I talked about before. ...

Warning This guide is based on an old version of Docker. The instructions you find below may be already removed or changed in the Docker codebase. In my previous blog post I talked about running the Fedora Cloud images on a local KVM with libvirt. This was not a standalone task, but rather the preparation for this blog post: running Docker containers on multiple hosts attached to the same network. I was asked in the comments on my WildFly cluster based on Docker blog post if it would be possible to run a cluster on multiple hosts. I found a very nice tutorial written by Franck Besnard. I’ve decided to set up a similar environment on my own to see how/if it works. ...

Inspired by Matt’s blog post I’ve decided to make something that is similar but better fits my use case. I plan to do some clustering and routing testing and therefore I need to have similar VMs running side-by-side. These images will be short-lived and I would like to automate as many things I can. Additionally, I found out that the images shipped by Fedora require some changes to work well in my case, for example the default 2GB disk is too small. ...

I had a power mangement issue when running Fedora 19 (and later 20) on my Lenovo ThinkPad 430s. When the battery was low - the laptop just powered off itself, without a clean shutdown or even warning me. As you may guess - this wasn’t something I very happy about. Cause I discovered that it happens when the battery is still at 15%. The system reported at that time still about 40 min of available time. ...

It has been a while since my last blog post about recent Docker changes in Fedora. We’ve done some significant work over the last three weeks. Now it’s time to wrap it up. Docker is available in the repositories Now you can enjoy Docker on your Fedora system by executing just one command: yum install docker-io If you’re on RHEL/CentOS you still need to enable epel-testing repository. This shouldn’t be necessary once the lxc package will be available in stable. ...
