Dockalt

This is a toy version of Docker implemented in Elixir. It does absolutely nothing, and only serves to showcase how one might use Elixir/Erlang's Actor concurrency model to build an application like Docker.

Running

With the Erlang VM installed, the binary can be ran with ./dockalt. Use ./dockalt --count [NUM] to start the app with more than one container.

Using Dockalt

The following commands are available in the dockalt "shell":

  • list
    • lists all existing containers and their state
  • new
    • create a new container
  • start <name-of-container>
    • start a container
  • stop <name-of-container>
    • stop a container

Compiling

This app has only been built (and tested) with Elixir 1.4.2. With Elixir properly installed and configured, the app binary can be built with mix escript.build.
