This service expose an http server on port 8000 and serve your current ip like output. It has also a healthcheck root /health to be sure that it's ready.

MYSQL_USERNAME=hello MYSQL_PASSWORD=******** MYSQL_ADDR=mysql.cc.net ./micro

This application has a proper repository in hub.docker with few version of this service, feel free to use them.

docker run \
  -e MYSQL_USERNAME=hello 
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=******** \
  -e MYSQL_ADDR=mysql.cc.net \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  --net your-net \
  gianarb/micro:2.0.0

I create this application to have a good example around few topic:

• HealthCheck
• HTTP Microservices
• Docker
• 12factor application

And also to have an application to use during my talk/blogpost/article, right now I used that in few occasions:

• http://gianarb.it/blog/docker-1-12-orchestration-built-in
• DockerMeetup in Dublin, resources will be provided soon.

There are two version of this service, they provide both same route, index and health but with few differences:

• 1.0.0 the healthcheck is really simple, in practice doesn't do any sanity check for Thrid Party service.
• 2.0.0 the healthcheck was written to simulate a dependency with MySQL for this reason it checks if there is alive a MySQL instances. The index has a nice input (nice is too much 😄)
