How to use ambari-functions ?

[mhmxs]

It looks like a DNS or other network issue. You should replace j.mp/docker-ambari to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sequenceiq/docker-ambari/master/ambari-functions.

curl -Lo .amb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sequenceiq/docker-ambari/master/ambari-functions && . .amb && amb-deploy-cluster

docker@boot2docker:~/git/docker-ambari$ curl -Lo .amb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sequenceiq/docker-ambari/master/ambari-functions && . .amb && amb-deploy-cluster

I don't know what's happen..

The default shell in boot2docker VM is sh, which doesn't support functions as well.

docker@boot2docker:~$ ps -p $$
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  19277 pts/1    00:00:00 sh

To use the ambari-functions you have to execute it on Bash. If you are a mac user it's quite easy, because the default shell is bash. Just source ambari-functions locally. You only need to take care a routing rule, because otherwise the ambari-functions couldn't connect to the docker containers inside the VM.

sudo route add -net 172.17.0.0/16 192.168.59.103

If you are on Windows, you have to install bash first

tce-load -wi bash
bash

I see.
Thanks a lot.

It works fine in vagrant-opensuse12.3

@mhmxs Hi, I am a user in windows. I follow your step to install bash firstly, But it not works when using:

tce-load -wi bash

it shows: bash: tce-load: command not found
I don't know where is wrong?

[mhmxs]

Hi @qinzhaokun, tce-load is the package manager of tiny core linux, so if you want to use ambari-functions, you have to log into the boot2docker machine boot2docker ssh, than install bash tce-load -wi bash && bash (you could check running shell version via ps -ef | grep $$ | grep -v grep | head -1). If you are done you should clone the repo into the virtual machine and source ambari-functions.

Sorry but i don't have any experience on Windows, maybe some bash implementation also works as well.
