Creating a Cast Iron Container using the Docker Image

Before you begin

Make sure you have a proper Cast Iron Docker image created and available for deployment.

About this task

Use this task to create a new Cast Iron container from a docker image.

Note: You can create and use only one Cast Iron container per single docker host as the container uses the docker host's network resources.

Procedure

In the Ubuntu server (version 14.04), where you have your docker image, execute the following command:
docker run --net=host --pid=host  -t -i -d <cast iron docker image ID>

For example, docker run --net=host --pid=host -t -i -d castironv7510/20160302-1535, where castironv7510/20160302-1535 is the Cast Iron docker image ID.

Results

On executing the above command, a Cast Iron container will be created along with a container ID. Use the Cast Iron Container ID to validate the Cast Iron Installation and configuration. The Cast Iron container ID is dynamically generated by Docker.
Note:

You can validate the Cast Iron Installation and configuration using the following command until you get the Cast Iron component Status.

docker logs –f <CI Container ID>

For example,

Cast Iron Component Status
--------------------------
 DerbyServer : Up
 WMC         : Up
 Maestro     : Up
 Gateway     : Up

Also use Docker Host machine’s ETH0 IP address to open Cast Iron Web Management Console and ensure it is accessible.
