Problem Statement

Whenever a TSSG Member has low system resources (i.e. less than 4 cores, slow CPU, insufficient memory or slow storage) it can be difficult to run multiple docker containers for testing micro-services or learning docker locally. 

Proposed Solution

I am looking into a way to make my systems available for your individual testing.  If successful, you would be able to login using ssh, build a suite of micro-services, open up browsers, and kick off automated testing against the services.

Reference

• Run multiple docker daemons on the same host
• Systems benchmark comparisons

On Windows

• When using WebRoot (by Carbonite)

  • In settings Webroot Secure Anywhere -> Advanced Settings -> Shields,

    Disable Prevent any process from modifying hosts file

• Use an editor opened as administrator to modify the file in:
  /c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

Fixed softlink errors created by git between Windows and Linux.

Copied files from nginx/sites-available/* to nginx/sites-enabled/ rather than create soft links.

In the nginx-Dockerfile, build the image by copying the sites-available and sites-enabled folders rather than having the container mount the host folders.

• Found out that Docker for Windows and WSL2 uses the same docker daemon.  That is, container and image changes in one environment are seen in the other environment.
• Docker for Windows uses the windows User file locations.
• However, WSL2 uses mounted drives.
• /mnt/c/... is mounted by default.
• Other drives will need to be mounted separately within the Linux subsystem.
