Docker

Examples

Create a pristine test environment

In this example, we will be spinning up a brand new container with the latest ZoneMinder code. At the end of the example, you'll be able to access the ZoneMinder container via the forwarded ports.

1. Build the ZoneMinder image. This may take a while. sudo docker build -t='kylejohnson/release-1.27' github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder The -t flag allows you to 'tag' your image. In this example, I am building a container for myself, for use with the 1.27 release.

2. Run (start) the ZoneMinder container. CID=$(sudo docker run -P -d -t kylejohnson/release-1.27) The -P flag forwards any ports that are EXPOSE'd in the Dockerfile (80 and 22). The -d flag detaches the container and runs it in the background. The -t flag tells docker which container to run.

3. Find out which ports your container is listening on.

kjohnson@lxc01:~/$ sudo docker port $CID 22
0.0.0.0:49155
kjohnson@lxc01:~/$ sudo docker port $CID 80
0.0.0.0:49156

You can now access ZoneMinder, via ssh or http, on the ports listed in those last two commands.
