docker_container

Manages the lifecycle of a Docker container.

Example Usage

# Start a container
resource "docker_container" "ubuntu" {
  name = "foo"
  image = "${docker_image.ubuntu.latest}"
}

# Find the latest Ubuntu precise image.
resource "docker_image" "ubuntu" {
  name = "ubuntu:precise"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

name - (Required, string) The name of the Docker container.
image - (Required, string) The ID of the image to back this container. The easiest way to get this value is to use the docker_image resource as is shown in the example above.
command - (Optional, list of strings) The command to use to start the container. For example, to run /usr/bin/myprogram -f baz.conf set the command to be ["/usr/bin/myprogram", "-f", "baz.conf"].
entrypoint - (Optional, list of strings) The command to use as the Entrypoint for the container. The Entrypoint allows you to configure a container to run as an executable. For example, to run /usr/bin/myprogram when starting a container, set the entrypoint to be ["/usr/bin/myprogram"].
dns - (Optional, set of strings) Set of DNS servers.
env - (Optional, set of strings) Environmental variables to set.
labels - (Optional, map of strings) Key/value pairs to set as labels on the container.
links - (Optional, set of strings) Set of links for link based connectivity between containers that are running on the same host.
hostname - (Optional, string) Hostname of the container.
domainname - (Optional, string) Domain name of the container.
restart - (Optional, string) The restart policy for the container. Must be one of "no", "on-failure", "always".
max_retry_count - (Optional, int) The maximum amount of times to an attempt a restart when restart is set to "on-failure"
must_run - (Optional, bool) If true, then the Docker container will be kept running. If false, then as long as the container exists, Terraform assumes it is successful.
ports - (Optional, block) See Ports below for details.
host_entry - (Optional, block) See Extra Hosts below for details.
privileged - (Optional, bool) Run container in privileged mode.
publish_all_ports - (Optional, bool) Publish all ports of the container.
volumes - (Optional, block) See Volumes below for details.
memory - (Optional, int) The memory limit for the container in MBs.
memory_swap - (Optional, int) The total memory limit (memory + swap) for the container in MBs.
cpu_shares - (Optional, int) CPU shares (relative weight) for the container.
log_driver - (Optional, string) The logging driver to use for the container. Defaults to "json-file".
log_opts - (Optional, map of strings) Key/value pairs to use as options for the logging driver.
network_mode - (Optional, string) Network mode of the container.
networks - (Optional, set of strings) Id of the networks in which the container is.

Ports

ports is a block within the configuration that can be repeated to specify the port mappings of the container. Each ports block supports the following:

internal - (Required, int) Port within the container.
external - (Required, int) Port exposed out of the container.
ip - (Optional, string) IP address/mask that can access this port.
protocol - (Optional, string) Protocol that can be used over this port, defaults to TCP.

Extra Hosts

host_entry is a block within the configuration that can be repeated to specify the extra host mappings for the container. Each host_entry block supports the following:

host - (Required, int) Hostname to add.
ip - (Required, int) IP address this hostname should resolve to..

This is equivalent to using the --add-host option when using the run command of the Docker CLI.

Volumes

volumes is a block within the configuration that can be repeated to specify the volumes attached to a container. Each volumes block supports the following:

from_container - (Optional, string) The container where the volume is coming from.
host_path - (Optional, string) The path on the host where the volume is coming from.
volume_name - (Optional, string) The name of the docker volume which should be mounted.
container_path - (Optional, string) The path in the container where the volume will be mounted.
read_only - (Optional, bool) If true, this volume will be readonly. Defaults to false.

One of from_container, host_path or volume_name must be set.

Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

ip_address - The IP address of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
ip_prefix_length - The IP prefix length of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
gateway - The network gateway of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
bridge - The network bridge of the container as read from its NetworkSettings.
