Amazon Ec2 Container Service

Environment to do the basic

yum install docker -y
service docker start
docker pull public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:latest
#after you will see in the image list doing
docker images
#run without login
docker run public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux
#list running docker
docker ps -a 
# docker run with login inside for debug
docker run -it public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux /bin/bash

the pbulc repo is https://gallery.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux

SUMMARY

install and verify the installation

sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/ecs-cli https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazon-ecs-cli/ecs-cli-linux-amd64-latest
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ecs-cli
ecs-cli --version

configure

ecs-cli configure --region us-west-2 --cluster myClusterName

Repositories

it is a new features added in aws , you can create a new repos for each version of an image.

the guide is here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/docker-push-ecr-image.html

  • create a new repository on Amazon ECS => Repositories => Create repository , you will receive back some useful commands. I created a repos called nginx
  • first step you need to obtain a token to use the service. It is necessary run this command from a machine where you have the rights admin or the specific rights
aws ecr get-login --region eu-west-1 
docker login -u AWS -p eyJwYXlsb2FkIjoiQXoyWmV
.......................................................................
IiwidmVyc2lvbiI6IjEiLCJ0eXBlIjoiREFUQV9LRVkifQ== -e none https://myaccountid.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
## COPY THIS DOCKER LOGIN COMMAND IN YOUR SHELL AND RUN IT SO YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS FOR THE OTHERS ACTIONS
  • in my case i have created this repos in Ireland, copy the long token you can use for 12 hours in any machine where you have the image to import
  • login in the machine where you have the images to import and run the command just copied. You should see as result something like that
WARNING: login credentials saved in ~/.docker/config.json
  • run the command docker images and copy the image tag of the image that you want to upload in my case was
IMAGE ID           
59fc1d5b6278
  • tag the image , you need to use the image id just copied the repository name and a new tag latest or specific , you can find this command in the view commands inside the repos
docker tag 59fc1d5b6278 0123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/nginx:latest
  • push the repos you need to use the exact command just used for tag but using push instead of tag and without the image id
docker push 0123456789012.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/nginx:latest
  • after the upload you can see the image in your repos identified from the tag chosen in this example was latest

Windows

to have the command line to run the aws ecr you need to download the msi and install from here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-windows.html

to authenticate you can run the command redirect the output in a file .ps1 and after run it again

aws ecr get-login --region eu-west-1 > login.ps1

run a container and login inside from windows

NOTE if you want install docker in a linux ami follow this guide http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-basics.html

Containers: Docker Basics

download the latest ubuntu from docker hub https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/

docker pull ubuntu

show the image just downloaded
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

run in interactive mode -i and in the terminal -t using the image and start a shell

docker run -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash

when you exit this container will be stopped

with -a option show also the stopped container

docker ps -a

run the container with docker run

docker images

the container immediately exit after the run

save the container

  1. run the container login with bash
  2. modify it installing something, I installed lynx
  3. exit from the container
  4. run the docker ps -a and read the container id
  5. commit the container id with a new name
  6. check the list to see the new image
  7. run the new images
docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                         PORTS               NAMES

Creating a custom container

Register to docker hub choose and username, in this example the username is latest123 but yours it will be different replace all the commands with the righ username

git clone https://github.com/awslabs/ecs-demo-php-simple-app

inside the directory you can find the docker file the most important lines are

# this container start from an ubuntu base
FROM ubuntu:12.04
...................

# expose the port 80 to the outisde
EXPOSE 80
# run the apache2 service like a daemon in foreground
CMD ["/usr/sbin/apache2", "-D",  "FOREGROUND"]

we can build this container with the commmand

docker build -t latest123/amazon-ecs-sample .

after the build we can see it with the command

docker images
REPOSITORY                    TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED              SIZE
latest123/amazon-ecs-sample   latest              bf54adb8c1bd        About a minute ago   228.6 MB
ubuntu                        12.04               a11493a01736        9 days ago           103.6 MB

run the container and check if it is running

docker run -dp 80:80 latest123/amazon-ecs-sample:latest

 docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                NAMES
f6b6a7d89dab        latest123/amazon-ecs-sample:latest   "/usr/sbin/apache2 -D"   2 minutes ago       Up 2 minutes        0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp   focused_mayer

connect with the browser

lynx http://localhost

now we can stop and remove the container

docker stop focused_mayer
focused_mayer

docker rm focused_mayer
focused_mayer
