[Swift-user] Swift Coaster Service & Docker Containers

[Matthew Shaxted]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a way to run Swift workflows on multi-host docker containers, and wondering if anybody has had success with this.

When I start a docker container and define specific ports to open on the container, they mapped to random ports on the host machine. So for example, I can start a container with an ssh port open from a host "10.1.1.1", and can then access this container across hosts with "ssh compute at 10.1.1.1 -p 49160".

Now I'm hoping to link these docker containers to Swift's start-coaster-service. I think it would be possible and relatively easy if I can say, start the coasters on a series of IP addresses AND ports. So a host's file perhaps would look something like below, and coasters would be started on the correct docker container:

10.1.1.1: 49160
10.1.1.2: 34155
10.1.1.2: 34156   ...

Does this make sense? Is it possible to start coasters by specifying an IP address and port number?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew
