Orchestrating Docker containers in production using Fig
In the last blog post about Fig we showed how you could define and run a multi-container app locally.
We’re now going to show you how you can deploy this app to production. Here’s a screencast of the whole process:
Let’s continue from where we left off in the last blog post. First, we want to put the code we wrote up onto GitHub. You’ll need to initialize and commit your code into a new Git repository.
$ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "Initial commit"
Then create a new repository on GitHub and follow the instructions for how to set up a remote on your local GitHub repository. For example, if your repository were called bfirsh/figdemo, you’d run these commands:
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:bfirsh/figdemo.git $ git push -u origin master
Next, you’ll need to get yourself a server to host your app. Any cloud provider will work, so long as it is running Ubuntu and available on a public IP address.
Log on to your server using SSH and follow the instructions for installing Docker and Fig on Ubuntu.
$ ssh root@[your server’s IP address] # curl -sSL https://get.docker.io/ubuntu/ | Continue reading
