I know we're building Ceph in Linux distributions and many of you use
vstart.sh as I do. Steps to install dependencies are easy so we don't
have to worry about prerequisites in a dev machine.
I'm thinking if it's useful to build Ceph in Docker. There are reasons
to do this, for example 1) not be able/willing to install quite a few
dependency software/library on a shared Linux, 2) to have a standard
build image for isolated and automatic testing, and 3) to build on
Mac/Windows. I know for this we can create Linux virtual machines on
Mac/ Windows, but I think container is lightweight and better.
So I attach a small script that creates a Docker image to build the
Ceph from source, and then starts a test cluster with vstart.sh in a
container. Do you think it's something useful and/or worth to have in
source tree?
When I was building Hadoop, I found its start-build-env.sh helpful,
which is basically the same idea I borrowed here.
Have you looked at docker-test.sh ?
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/test/docker-test.sh
I have not tried it in awhile, but it used to be able to not only build
Ceph but also run "make check", in a Docker container. It support(ed)
several different operating systems.
It would be nice if someone got it working again.
