Short how-to on running a geode cluster in docker containers

[Jens Deppe <jd...@vmware.com>]

I recently had the need to run a geode cluster in docker containers and thought my findings and script might be useful. I’ve created a wiki page here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Running+a+Geode+cluster+in+docker

The reason for this was that I wanted to easily be able to use my geode build inside a geode/docker cluster for quick iteration. A secondary need was to be able to constrain the resources used by each member. Since docker allows CPU constraints I could simulate running on a ‘smaller’ system by just assigning a specific number of CPUs to each container.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
