14.2. Starting a Container

download PDF
Execute the following steps to start the container.
  1. Execute the following command to run the container:
    # docker run -d --privileged=true --net=host --name <container-name> -v /run -v /etc/glusterfs:/etc/glusterfs:z -v /var/lib/glusterd:/var/lib/glusterd:z -v /var/log/glusterfs:/var/log/glusterfs:z -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -v /mnt/brick1:/mnt/container_brick1:z <image name>
    where,
    • --net=host option ensures that the container has full access to the network stack of the host.
    • /mnt/brick1 is the mountpoint of the brick in the atomic host and :/mnt/container_brick1 is the mountpoint of the brick in the container.
    • -d option starts the container in the detached mode.
    For example:
    # docker run -d --privileged=true --net=host --name glusternode1 -v /run -v /etc/glusterfs:/etc/glusterfs:z -v /var/lib/glusterd:/var/lib/glusterd:z -v /var/log/glusterfs:/var/log/glusterfs:z -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -v /mnt/brick1:/mnt/container_brick1:z rhgs3/rhgs-server-rhel7

    Where, 5ac864b5abc74a925aecc4fe9613c73e83b8c54a846c36107aa8e2960eeb97b4 is the container ID.

    Note

    • SELinux labels are automatically reset to svirt_sandbox_file_t so that the container can interact with the Atomic Host directory.
    • In the above command, the following ensures that the gluster configuration are persistent.
      -v /etc/glusterfs:/etc/glusterfs:z -v /var/lib/glusterd:/var/lib/glusterd -v /var/log/glusterfs:/var/log/glusterfs
  2. If you want to use snapshot then execute the following command:
    # docker run -d --privileged=true --net=host --name <container-name> -v /dev:/dev -v /run -v /etc/glusterfs:/etc/glusterfs:z -v /var/lib/glusterd:/var/lib/glusterd:z -v /var/log/glusterfs:/var/log/glusterfs:z -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -v /mnt/brick1:/mnt/container_brick1:z <image name>
    where, /mnt/brick1 is the mountpoint of the brick in the atomic host and :/mnt/container_brick1 is the mountpoint of the brick in the container.
    For example:
    # docker run -d --privileged=true --net=host --name glusternode1 -v /dev:/dev -v /run -v /etc/glusterfs:/etc/glusterfs:z -v /var/lib/glusterd:/var/lib/glusterd:z -v /var/log/glusterfs:/var/log/glusterfs:z -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -v /mnt/brick1:/mnt/container_brick1:z rhgs3/rhgs-server-rhel7

  3. To verify if the container is created, execute the following command:
    # docker ps
    For example:
    # docker ps
