[node-devel] Docker in the land of Node (plugin and build-system)

[Fabian Deutsch]

Hey,

Docker is somewhat a hype these days.

And docker can also be found in the Node land. In two ways actually.

First:
Ryan added some Dockerfiles which you can use to build ovirt-node-iso
within a Docker container. That is great. Because it separates the host
OS from the to-be-build-OS.
Ref: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/24679/

Second:
I just added a (draft) plugin which adds Docker to an existing Node ISO
and runs it in "host mode", that means Docker will be bound to a public
port (4243 in out case) and users can use it from remote using:

$ docker -H $NODEADDR:4243 info

This has the benefit of having the solid nature of Node as a base and
the flexibility of Docker on top.
Ref: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/25370/


Both ways need testing, and the latter can not be easily tested yet, as
systemd (aka Fedora image) is required.
