River and Docker

[Patricia Shanahan <pa...@acm.org>]

Does the Docker registry have any relevance or use for River?

There does seem to be some support for Docker on Windows, using 
VirtualBox. See https://docs.docker.com/installation/windows/. I have 
not yet tried it out.

Perhaps I misunderstood the original question.
I meant that any use of Docker (regardless of River) is only for Linux
user's benefit.

Docker provides a virtualization approach that allows "containers" to run within a single Linux instance. River could certainly create Docker images. I think we'd have to make sure that the network configuration between docker containers would be setup correctly to have a distributed system composed of River services hosted across Docker containers. 

From some online Docker documentation, it seems that communication between containers on the same host is fairly straight-forward and communication between hosts can occur over regular public networks as long as the ports are mapped correctly and the connection information is given to the other party.

There may or may not be issues with River's service discovery and notification, only way to find out would be to create some Docker images and give it a go.

Is that a problem?  From what I’ve seen so far, Java applications should work, so it should be possible to put a set of River infrastructure services (Reggie, Mahalo, Outrigger, etc) into a Docker container.

AFAIK it's linux only at present.

I think it might, but I need to learn some more about Docker.  I’m looking into it over the next few days.
