This project is a small Python package you can use to boot your Docker containers. It is by default configured to interface with Apache Mesos and its Marathon framework but could easily be extended to run off Kubernetes and the like.
Ochopod coordinates how a given family of containers should cluster together at run-time. It transparently manages dependencies and port remapping as well. In short you effectively apply an overlay to your provisioning stack that enables you to do more ! It is a mix between an init system and a distributed discovery mechanism.
Ochopod internally relies on Apache Zookeeper for synchronization and metadata storage.
Please have a look at our Ochothon stack and see how we built a quick PaaS on top of Marathon including a comprehensive tool suite, a cool web-shell, a tiny CLI and more !
Both a manual package install and the spiffy DCOS deployments from Mesosphere have been tested. We also tested it on the cool Mantl.io project.
The DIY PaaS market is filled with interesting offers and every company has its own take on how to do things. Now Ochopod is different when it comes to clustering and idempotency. Our general goal is to remain non opiniated (and lightweight) but yet allow for watertight orchestration. Our finite state machine design coupled to Zookeeper is quite unique.
In case you had not noticed you can build this repo as a Docker image ! This will give you a basic Ubuntu container that includes our code, Python 2.7 and the handy supervisor package. We run supervisor as PID 1 and set it up to listen on TCP 8081 (not exposed).
You can find it on the Docker hub as the autodeskcloud/pod image (tagged with release numbers).
You can peruse our online documentation for examples, design notes, API docs and more !
The Sphinx materials can be found under docs/. Just go in there and build for your favorite target, for instance:
$ cd docs
$ make html
The docs will be written to _docs/build/html. This is all Sphinx based and you have many options and knobs to tweak should you want to customize the output.
