registrator is a side-kick registration process which registers running docker containers in etcd to be discovered by a discovery service.
Run a registrator container:
$ docker build -t registrator .
$ docker docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e HOST_IP=10.0.0.10 -e ETCD_HOST=10.0.0.11:4001 registratorBy default registrator will look for containers on the docker host which expose only one port. If such a container is found it will be published to the specified etcd instance. If a container has multiple ports published, registrator will try to register the container with port 443 or 80 if present.
- Control port selection:
To get better control over which port gets registered in :code:`etcd', a label can be specified which defines the internal port where the service is listening. This should not be necessary if each container only exposes a single port. :
-e PRIMARY_PORT_LABEL=publish_portA "discoverable" container may use this label to get registered:
$ docker run -d -l publish_port=1000/tcp -p 1000 -p 2000 -p 3000 service-a- Control which containers will be registered:
To filter "discoverable" containers, you can specify mandatory labels:
-e LABELS=foo,barOnly containers with all of this labels will be registered. The specified labels also get published to
etcd.- Other Paramaters:
Set a different ttl for registered services:
-e ETCD_TTL 15Specify the path to the docker socket:
-e DOCKER_SOCKET unix:///var/run/docker.sock
Containers are grouped by the service they are running. Currently the image name is used as the service name.
