Docker + Puppet integration skeleton (test your app on multiple OSes using docker images and containers)

This Docker+Puppet integration skeleton allows you to test your application or puppet manifest on multiple OSes.

It creates series docker images based on multiple different operating systems and execute puppet manifest file whitin created images.

Currently following OSes are supported:

• Ubuntu:14.04
• Ubuntu:16.04
• CentOS:6
• CentOS:7
• Fedora:25
• Debian:7

Usage

1. Implement your configuration into install.pp file (or use default one which installs vim package only)
2. Create series of docker image for multiple OS using this command:

./buildAndRun vim-install-test

It may take few minutes. Please wait ...

3. After installing you should see series of docker images 'vim-install-test-OS-VERSION' created. Run docker images command to see them.

Each image will have puppet/install.pp file executed. You can create container based on the image using docker run command and test your application manually. You can also extend this script to allow automatic tests of your application on multiple OSes

Run container from created image

Sample docker run command to access Ubuntu-based container (container will be removed just after you exit it):

docker run --rm=true --name vim-test-ubuntu-16-04 -i -t vim-install-test-ubuntu-16-04 /bin/bash
docker@a0e3abcfa905:~$ vim --version

If you see output of command vim --version it means that vim has been successfully installed through puppet manifest file.

Enjoy!
