Installation to standalone host

You can install Racetrack to a standalone host (e.g. EC2 host or fresh VM instance) using the installer script that runs it on the Docker Engine infrastructure.

Requirements

For instance, on Debian-based systems do:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl python3 python3-pip python3-venv
# Install user-managed docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o install-docker.sh
sh install-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Install Racetrack

Pick an installation directory:

mkdir -p ~/racetrack && cd ~/racetrack

and run

sh <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRacetrack/racetrack/master/utils/standalone-wizard/runner.sh)

Follow the installation steps. Choose docker infrastructure target. Shortly after, your Racetrack instance will be ready.

Notes

  • Pay attention to the output. The installer will generate unique passwords for your setup, you'll be provided with the Dashboard address and superuser credentials.

  • Set the environment variable export RT_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 to skip answering installer's questions and go with the defaults. You can also set custom values for parameters by setting environment variables:

    • export RT_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS="http://127.0.0.1" to set the external address that your Racetrack will be accessed at (IP or domain name).
    • export RT_INFRASTRUCTURE="docker" to set the infrastructure target to deploy Racetrack.

  • Edit or remove local setup configuration at setup.json and run installer again to reconfigure installation steps.

  • You can use locally installed racetrack CLI client after activating venv . venv/bin/activate. It's already logged in and has remote address configured.

  • The following services are hosted on address 0.0.0.0, thus publicly available:

    • Dashboard on port 7103
    • Lifecycle on port 7102
    • Pub on port 7105
    • Lifecycle Supervisor on port 7106
    • Grafana on port 3100

    Jobs and other services should be running only in the internal network.

  • This installer makes use of Docker Infrastructure plugin to deploy jobs to in-place Docker Engine infrastructure target.

Manage Racetrack

Installer creates Makefile, which contains a few useful commands:

  • make down to stop the Racetrack.
  • make up to start it up again or upgrade to the latest version.
  • make clean to shut down and clean up the Racetrack.
