docker Docker: docker_container docs-docker-resource-container Manages the lifecycle of a Docker container.

docker_container

Manages the lifecycle of a Docker container.

Example Usage

# Start a container
resource "docker_container" "ubuntu" {
  name = "foo"
  image = "${docker_image.ubuntu.latest}"
}

# Find the latest Ubuntu precise image.
resource "docker_image" "ubuntu" {
  name = "ubuntu:precise"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required, string) The name of the Docker container.

  • image - (Required, string) The ID of the image to back this container. The easiest way to get this value is to use the docker_image resource as is shown in the example above.

  • command - (Optional, list of strings) The command to use to start the container. For example, to run /usr/bin/myprogram -f baz.conf set the command to be ["/usr/bin/myprogram", "-f", "baz.conf"].

  • entrypoint - (Optional, list of strings) The command to use as the Entrypoint for the container. The Entrypoint allows you to configure a container to run as an executable. For example, to run /usr/bin/myprogram when starting a container, set the entrypoint to be ["/usr/bin/myprogram"].

  • dns - (Optional, set of strings) Set of DNS servers.

  • env - (Optional, set of strings) Environmental variables to set.

  • labels - (Optional) Key/value pairs to set as labels on the container.

  • links - (Optional, set of strings) Set of links for link based connectivity between containers that are running on the same host.

  • hostname - (Optional, string) Hostname of the container.

  • domainname - (Optional, string) Domain name of the container.

  • restart - (Optional, string) The restart policy for the container. Must be one of "no", "on-failure", "always".

  • max_retry_count - (Optional, int) The maximum amount of times to an attempt a restart when restart is set to "on-failure"

  • must_run - (Optional, bool) If true, then the Docker container will be kept running. If false, then as long as the container exists, Terraform assumes it is successful.

  • ports - (Optional) See Ports below for details.

  • privileged - (Optional, bool) Run container in privileged mode.

  • publish_all_ports - (Optional, bool) Publish all ports of the container.

  • volumes - (Optional) See Volumes below for details.

  • memory - (Optional, int) The memory limit for the container in MBs.

  • memory_swap - (Optional, int) The total memory limit (memory + swap) for the container in MBs.

  • cpu_shares - (Optional, int) CPU shares (relative weight) for the container.

  • log_driver - (Optional, string) The logging driver to use for the container. Defaults to "json-file".

  • log_opts - (Optional) Key/value pairs to use as options for the logging driver.

  • network_mode - (Optional) Network mode of the container.

Ports

ports is a block within the configuration that can be repeated to specify the port mappings of the container. Each ports block supports the following:

  • internal - (Required, int) Port within the container.
  • external - (Required, int) Port exposed out of the container.
  • ip - (Optional, string) IP address/mask that can access this port.
  • protocol - (Optional, string) Protocol that can be used over this port, defaults to TCP.

Volumes

volumes is a block within the configuration that can be repeated to specify the volumes attached to a container. Each volumes block supports the following:

  • from_container - (Optional, string) The container where the volume is coming from.
  • container_path - (Optional, string) The path in the container where the volume will be mounted.
  • host_path - (Optional, string) The path on the host where the volume is coming from.
  • read_only - (Optional, bool) If true, this volume will be readonly. Defaults to false.

Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • ip_address - The IP address of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
  • ip_prefix_length - The IP prefix length of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
  • gateway - The network gateway of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
  • bridge - The network bridge of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
