Fig is a project from [Orchard](https://orchardup.com). [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/orchardup) to keep up to date with Fig and other Docker news.
+Installation and documentation
+------------------------------
-Getting started
----------------
+Full documentation is available on [Fig's website](http://orchardup.github.io/fig/).
-Let's get a basic Python web app running on Fig. It assumes a little knowledge of Python, but the concepts should be clear if you're not familiar with it.
+Running the test suite
+----------------------
-First, install Docker. If you're on OS X, you can use [docker-osx](https://github.com/noplay/docker-osx):
+ $ script/test
- $ curl https://raw.github.com/noplay/docker-osx/master/docker-osx > /usr/local/bin/docker-osx
- $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-osx
- $ docker-osx shell
-Docker has guides for [Ubuntu](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/) and [other platforms](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/) in their documentation.
-
-Next, install Fig:
-
- $ sudo pip install -U fig
-
-(This command also upgrades Fig when we release a new version. If you don’t have pip installed, try `brew install python` or `apt-get install python-pip`.)
-
-You'll want to make a directory for the project:
-
- $ mkdir figtest
- $ cd figtest
-
-Inside this directory, create `app.py`, a simple web app that uses the Flask framework and increments a value in Redis:
-
-```python
-from flask import Flask
-from redis import Redis
-import os
-app = Flask(__name__)
-redis = Redis(
- host=os.environ.get('REDIS_1_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR'),
- port=int(os.environ.get('REDIS_1_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT'))
-)
-
-@app.route('/')
-def hello():
- redis.incr('hits')
- return 'Hello World! I have been seen %s times.' % redis.get('hits')
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
- app.run(host="0.0.0.0", debug=True)
-```
-
-We define our Python dependencies in a file called `requirements.txt`:
-
- flask
- redis
-
-And we define how to build this into a Docker image using a file called `Dockerfile`:
-
- FROM stackbrew/ubuntu:13.10
- RUN apt-get -qq update
- RUN apt-get install -y python python-pip
- ADD . /code
- WORKDIR /code
- RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
- EXPOSE 5000
- CMD python app.py
-
-That tells Docker to create an image with Python and Flask installed on it, run the command `python app.py`, and open port 5000 (the port that Flask listens on).
-
-We then define a set of services using `fig.yml`:
-
- web:
- build: .
- ports:
- - 5000:5000
- volumes:
- - .:/code
- links:
- - redis
- redis:
- image: orchardup/redis
-
-This defines two services:
-
- - `web`, which is built from `Dockerfile` in the current directory. It also says to forward the exposed port 5000 on the container to port 5000 on the host machine, connect up the Redis service, and mount the current directory inside the container so we can work on code without having to rebuild the image.
- - `redis`, which uses the public image [orchardup/redis](https://index.docker.io/u/orchardup/redis/).
-
-Now if we run `fig up`, it'll pull a Redis image, build an image for our own code, and start everything up:
-
- $ fig up
- Pulling image orchardup/redis...
- Building web...
- Starting figtest_redis_1...
- Starting figtest_web_1...
- figtest_redis_1 | [8] 02 Jan 18:43:35.576 # Server started, Redis version 2.8.3
- figtest_web_1 | * Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
-
-Open up [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000) in your browser (or [http://localdocker:5000](http://localdocker:5000) if you're using [docker-osx](https://github.com/noplay/docker-osx)) and you should see it running!
-
-If you want to run your services in the background, you can pass the `-d` flag to `fig up` and use `fig ps` to see what is currently running:
-
- $ fig up -d
- Starting figtest_redis_1...
- Starting figtest_web_1...
- $ fig ps
- Name Command State Ports
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- figtest_redis_1 /usr/local/bin/run Up
- figtest_web_1 /bin/sh -c python app.py Up 5000->5000/tcp
-
-`fig run` allows you to run one-off commands for your services. For example, to see what environment variables are available to the `web` service:
-
- $ fig run web env
-
-
-See `fig --help` other commands that are available.
-
-If you started Fig with `fig up -d`, you'll probably want to stop your services once you've finished with them:
-
- $ fig stop
-
-That's more-or-less how Fig works. See the reference section below for full details on the commands, configuration file and environment variables. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/orchardup/fig) or [email us](mailto:hello@orchardup.com).

-### fig.yml
-
-Each service defined in `fig.yml` must specify exactly one of `image` or `build`. Other keys are optional, and are analogous to their `docker run` command-line counterparts.
-
-As with `docker run`, options specified in the Dockerfile (e.g. `CMD`, `EXPOSE`, `VOLUME`, `ENV`) are respected by default - you don't need to specify them again in `fig.yml`.
-
-```yaml
--- Tag or partial image ID. Can be local or remote - Fig will attempt to pull if it doesn't exist locally.
-image: ubuntu
-image: orchardup/postgresql
-image: a4bc65fd
-
--- Path to a directory containing a Dockerfile. Fig will build and tag it with a generated name, and use that image thereafter.
-build: /path/to/build/dir
-
--- Override the default command.
-command: bundle exec thin -p 3000
-
--- Link to containers in another service (see "Communicating between containers").
-links:
- - db
- - redis
-
--- Expose ports. Either specify both ports (HOST:CONTAINER), or just the container port (a random host port will be chosen).
-ports:
- - 3000
- - 8000:8000
-
--- Map volumes from the host machine (HOST:CONTAINER).
-volumes:
- - cache/:/tmp/cache
-
--- Add environment variables.
-environment:
- RACK_ENV: development
-```
-
-### Commands
-
-Most commands are run against one or more services. If the service is omitted, it will apply to all services.
-
-Run `fig [COMMAND] --help` for full usage.
-
-#### build
-
-Build or rebuild services.
-
-Services are built once and then tagged as `project_service`, e.g. `figtest_db`. If you change a service's `Dockerfile` or the contents of its build directory, you can run `fig build` to rebuild it.
-
-#### help
-
-Get help on a command.
-
-#### kill
-
-Force stop service containers.
-
-#### logs
-
-View output from services.
-
-#### ps
-
-List containers.
-
-#### rm
-
-Remove stopped service containers.
-
-
-#### run
-
-Run a one-off command on a service.
-
-For example:
-
- $ fig run web python manage.py shell
-
-Note that this will not start any services that the command's service links to. So if, for example, your one-off command talks to your database, you will need to run `fig up -d db` first.
-
-#### scale
-
-Set number of containers to run for a service.
-
-Numbers are specified in the form `service=num` as arguments.
-For example:
-
- $ fig scale web=2 worker=3
-
-#### start
-
-Start existing containers for a service.
-
-#### stop
-
-Stop running containers without removing them. They can be started again with `fig start`.
-
-#### up
-
-Build, (re)create, start and attach to containers for a service.
-
-By default, `fig up` will aggregate the output of each container, and when it exits, all containers will be stopped. If you run `fig up -d`, it'll start the containers in the background and leave them running.
-
-If there are existing containers for a service, `fig up` will stop and recreate them (preserving mounted volumes with [volumes-from]), so that changes in `fig.yml` are picked up.
-
-### Environment variables
-
-Fig uses [Docker links] to expose services' containers to one another. Each linked container injects a set of environment variables, each of which begins with the uppercase name of the container.
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_PORT</b><br>
-Full URL, e.g. `DB_1_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.5:5432`
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_PORT\_<i>num</i>\_<i>protocol</i></b><br>
-Full URL, e.g. `DB_1_PORT_5432_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.5:5432`
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_PORT\_<i>num</i>\_<i>protocol</i>\_ADDR</b><br>
-Container's IP address, e.g. `DB_1_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.5`
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_PORT\_<i>num</i>\_<i>protocol</i>\_PORT</b><br>
-Exposed port number, e.g. `DB_1_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT=5432`
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_PORT\_<i>num</i>\_<i>protocol</i>\_PROTO</b><br>
-Protocol (tcp or udp), e.g. `DB_1_PORT_5432_TCP_PROTO=tcp`
-
-<b><i>name</i>\_NAME</b><br>
-Fully qualified container name, e.g. `DB_1_NAME=/myapp_web_1/myapp_db_1`
