PerfRepo in Docker

Using PerfRepo now became much easier than it was before. How so? It comes to Docker. To run an instance of PerfRepo is as simple as starting 2 docker containers - one with PerfRepo web application and the second with the DB - and link them together.

So, let's have a look at how to run PerfRepo with Docker...

• Start a DB using perfcake/perfrepo-postgresql image with container name perfrepo-db:

$ docker run -d --name perfrepo-db perfcake/perfrepo-postgresql:v1.4

• Start PerfRepo container from perfcake/perfrepo image at a specific port (e.g. 5000) and link it with the previously created DB container (the link alias needs to be perfrepo-db):

$ docker run -d -p 5000:8080 --name perfrepo --link perfrepo-db perfcake/perfrepo:v1.4

• Verify Docker containers are running:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                               COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS         PORTS                    NAMES
251863199f81   perfcake/perfrepo:v1.4              "/root/jboss-eap-6.4/"   4 seconds ago    Up 3 seconds   0.0.0.0:5000->8080/tcp   perfrepo
baaeacfd98f5   perfcake/perfrepo-postgresql:v1.4   "/usr/bin/postgres -D"   35 minutes ago   Up 35 minutes  5432/tcp                 perfrepo-db

PerfRepo should be running on the port set in the previous step (e.g. 5000) http://localhost:5000. The default user and password are:

• login: perfrepouser
• password: perfrepouser1.

And that's all it takes...

The docker images are ready for you in the Docker Hub so have fun!!
