Hello Mani,

it could be interesting to integrate a TTY in the application. I will investigate about the feasibility of this feature ASAP

[francescou]

there is no standard way to open a terminal using docker-py (see docker/docker-py#390, docker/docker-py#239, docker/docker-py#389).
Maybe it could be possible using https://github.com/d11wtq/dockerpty (it is already used by docker-compose: https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/master/requirements.txt#L4) but I didn't find a way to perform a docker exec -it $CONTAINER /bin/bash on a running container (there is also an issue about this: d11wtq/dockerpty#30)

Hi !

Any news on that feature ?

[francescou]

I did some test with the latest docker pty
(see commit 258b7e0)

There is no GUI at the moment but you can try it from an HTTP client:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/terminal -H'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"command":"ls -lrt /", "name":"node-redis", "id":"noderedis_redis_1"}'

[francescou]

current solution, based on exec_create and exec_start is too limiting: there is no way to run interactive commands (e.g. redis-cli). I guess a better alternative would be to use websockets.

Hi Guys,

You can perform this using shipyard project you can set-up on top of existing docker or swarm cluster.

I used this compose to launch shipyard with docker-ui on a swarm with a Traefik proxy for routing

version: '2'

services:
 rethinkdb:
    image: rethinkdb:latest
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=false"
    networks:
      - back

 shipyard:
    image: shipyard/shipyard:latest
    container_name: shipyard-controller
    restart: always
    expose:
      - "8080"
    depends_on: ["rethinkdb"]
    volumes:
      - /etc/docker/swarm:/ssl:ro
    command: |
      --debug
      server 
      -d tcp://10.234.172.115:3376 
      --tls-ca-cert=/ssl/ca.pem 
      --tls-cert=/ssl/server.pem 
      --tls-key=/ssl/server-key.pem
    labels:
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:shipyard.mydomain.com"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_net"
    networks:
      - traefik_net
      - back

networks:
  traefik_net:
      external: true
  back:
    driver: overlay

@allamand , shipyard integration gives an CLI or Unix like web Terminal UI ?

[allamand]

@murugesh it's a unix like terminal ui (a console in the browser) I can show example if you like, I launch my shipyard using compose-ui

I would live to see the example, how can you show me?

I used this compose file : https://gist.github.com/allamand/e4f6a6229804007fa8f1a37761745031.

I din't saw the entire video but it should create something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLlp-kemx_s

Looks like there's an API method in Docker Engine which exposes the raw stream from the docker exec. Here is the relevant code from Shipyard which seems to just connect to that endpoint & open it up with websockets.

@francescou would you accept PRs for similar functionality? Seems like its all implemented in Docker Engine, so the missing piece would be the Websocket connection (likely from some Python websocket library).

[francescou]

@MichaelMackus I would be really interested. I've also made some experiments with websockets in python/Flask (using gevent, see #14) but I didn't like how these framework worked together.

[MichaelMackus]

Good to hear! I did try some experimenting with Websockets as well, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the protocol (& integrating it with Flask). I'll let you know what I find.

This feature has been released in francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.8.0 thanks to #91

instructions:

• download docker-compose.yml
• run docker-compose up
• open your browser to http://localhost:8080
