Pulling from a Private Docker Repository with Marathon

marathon

Suppose you have a private repository on the Docker Hub, then how do you get Marathon to pull from that repository? It's easy if you use Marathon's Artifact Store!

Here's how:

Log on to the machine where Marathon is running, and create a place to store the files:

mkdir /etc/marathon/store

Specify the path in the Marathon configuration:

echo "file:///etc/marathon/store" > /etc/marathon/conf/artifact_store

And restart Marathon:

/etc/init.d/marathon restart

Then, log in to the Docker Hub on your local console. You might want to create a special account on the Hub just for pulling images.

docker login

Your credentials will be stored in ~/.dockercfg. The next step is to get this file into the Artifact Store. You can either scp it or use curl:

curl -F "name=file" -F "filename=.dockercfg" -F "file=@.dockercfg" http://marathon-ip:8080/v2/artifacts

To check if it's really there:

curl http://marathon-ip:8080/v2/artifacts/.dockercfg

The last step is to specify the URI in the .json for the application you want to deploy:

"uris": [
"http://marathon-ip:8080/v2/artifacts/.dockercfg"
]

Then, if you post your json to Marathon, the Mesos slave will first fetch the .dockercfg and then pull the image from the repository.
