Adventures in GELF
If you are running apps in containers and are using Docker’s GELF logging driver (or are considering using it), the following musings might be relevant to your interests. Some context When you run applications in containers, the easiest logging method is to write on standard output. You can’t get simpler than that: just echo, print,…

Docker + Golang = <3
This is a short collection of tips and tricks showing how Docker can be useful when working with Go code. For instance, I’ll show you how to compile Go code with different versions of the Go toolchain, how to cross-compile to a different platform (and test the result!), or how to produce really small container…

Gathering LXC and Docker containers metrics
Linux Containers rely on control groups which not only track groups of processes, but also expose a lot of metrics about CPU, memory, and block I/O usage. We will see how to access those metrics, and how to obtain network usage metrics as well. This is relevant for “pure” LXC containers, as well as for…

Docker can now run within Docker
One of the (many!) features of Docker 0.6 is the new “privileged” mode for containers. It allows you to run some containers with (almost) all the capabilities of their host machine, regarding kernel features and device access. Among the (many!) possibilities of the “privileged” mode, you can now run Docker within Docker itself. First, we…
