Fedora Atomic Host comes bundled with a version of Docker based on this project atomic repo that moves no faster than the upstream Kubernetes project can abide (currently docker-1.13.1). This means that Fedora Atomic pretty much always ships with an older version of docker than what’s available from Docker Inc. However, through the magic of rpm-ostree package layering, you can replace that older, baked-in docker with the very latest docker-ce. Here’s how: First, grab the repo file for docker-ce. Then…

I just came across this Little Guide to Kubernetes Install Options, which covers a few options I’ve heard of, and a few options I haven’t heard of. It doesn’t mention the main way that I deploy Kubernetes, which is through the Ansible scripts from the kubernetes/contrib repository. The post does point to another Ansible-based option, though, and I wondered whether this one, called Kubespray (nee Kargo) would work with Atomic Hosts. I installed kubespray: I generated an inventory for a…

A few of the projects I work with use static websites based on middleman, which you can run locally to see how your edits, or those of others, will look on the live site when they’re merged. Each of these sites defaults to port 4567 when running locally, so if I’m running more than one of them at a time, they complain that their favored port is already taken. It’s easy enough to fire up middleman on a different port,…

Version 1.4 of Kubernetes, the open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, included an awesome new tool for bootstrapping clusters: kubeadm. Using kubeadm is as simple as installing the tool on a set of servers, running kubeadm init to initialize a master for the cluster, and running kubeadm join on some nodes to join them to the cluster. With kubeadm, the kubelet is installed as a regular software package, and the rest of the components run…

The atomic hosts from CentOS and Fedora earn their “atomic” namesake by providing for atomic, image-based system updates via rpm-ostree, and atomic, image-based application updates via docker containers. This “system” vs “application” division isn’t set in stone, however. There’s room for system components to move across from the somewhat rigid world of ostree commits to the freer-flowing container side. In particular, the key atomic host components involved in orchestrating containers across multiple hosts, such as flannel, etcd and kubernetes, could…

While (pretty much) everyone who’s using docker is running it on Linux, and while lots of people run docker on their laptops and desktops, most aren’t running it directly on Linux desktops and laptops. Instead, most individual docker users are relying on some sort of purpose-built Linux distribution running as a virtual machine on their Mac or Windows machine. However, if you are (like me) running Linux on your desktop, you can run docker containers right on your bare metal,…
