Also see the SoftLayer Jumpgate project page

Based on instructions from my blog

Jumpgate version

master branch pulls jumpgate git master which can be found here

Building the image

docker build -t jumpgate .

Running the image

The jumpgate image it setup to bind on port 5000 inside the container's network namespace, and thus you need to map it to a port on your host.

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 jumpgate

The Jumpgate image is setup with a random ADMIN_TOKEN which you can find in /etc/jumpgate.conf inside the container. This random token is generated on image build.

If you want to override jumpgate.conf settings in the container you can attach a docker volume which contains a jumpgate.conf with conf property overrides and map it into /etc/jumpgate/ in the container.

For example suppose you want to set the Jumpgate log_level to DEBUG and set the admin_token to T0PSECR8T:

• Create a jumpgate directory on the host which contains the jumpgate.conf file.

• In that jumpgate.conf file specify any conf overrides you want to self. For example:

[DEFAULT]
log_level = DEBUG
admin_token = T0PSECR8T

• When starting the jumpgate container, map your jumpgate directory to /etc/jumpgate directory in the container:

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v /opt/jumpgate:/etc/jumpgate jumpgate

• The resulting container will parse you bind mounted conf file after parsing the conf setup by the image build. This allows you to overrite any conf properties you want.
