IBM Cloud Services — Docker Setup

I want publish a docker image in the IBM Cloud Platform … why? Becase with our team, we are analyzing the possibility to send an idea to the Hackathon CallForCode sponsored for the ONU and IBM, and, one of the first requisites is to use the IBM Cloud services or IBM Systems. …

So, the question is: How complex, or tricky is to achieve it?

Prerequisites:

Let´s Start

So, after all of it, I am ready to follow the specific steps to run the docker image in the IBM cloud platform, that are in this link after “IBM Cloud” title

$ ibmcloud cr namespace-add pabloeze
FAILED
'cr' is not a registered command. See 'ibmcloud help'.
.... etc
$ ibmcloud plugin install container-registry -r 'IBM Cloud'
.... etc
$ ibmcloud cr namespace-add pabloeze
Adding namespace 'pabloeze'...
Successfully added namespace 'pabloeze'OK

Ok, I have to install first a “cr” plugin, and now, I have a “pabloeze” namespace,

Now, let´s publish the docker image on the IBM cloud Registry

$ ibmcloud cr build --tag registry.ng.bluemix.net/pabloeze/healthydata:v1.0 .                                   1

OK

The registry

$ ibmcloud cr image-list
Listing images...
Repository Tag Digest Namespace Created Size Security status
us.icr.io/pabloeze/healthydata v1.0 7d4beeab5daf pabloeze 13 minutes ago 40 MB 22 Issues
OK

And the Docker Run for it

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 us.icr.io/pabloeze/healthydata:v1.0
Unable to find image 'us.icr.io/pabloeze/healthydata:v1.0' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://us.icr.io/v2/pabloeze/healthydata/manifests/v1.0: unauthorized: authentication required.
See 'docker run --help'.

So, we need to login (after a while of some weeks … I needed to make a “ibmcloud login” again ..)

$ ibmcloud cr login                                                                                           
Logging in to 'registry.ng.bluemix.net'...
Logged in to 'registry.ng.bluemix.net'.
Logging in to 'us.icr.io'...
Logged in to 'us.icr.io'.
OK

Now, we are ready! Let´s run the docker from IBM Cloud

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name  healthyApp us.icr.io/pabloeze/healthydata:v1.0
00d51926323bd2f8f8597cbfc51dfedb8adb5f349085bc0cf9fc5855e5168768

And the docker is alive, on http://localhost:80 running the Angular App inside it

So, let´s stop the post here ….

With the goal accomplished: to publish a docker image on IBM Cloud Platform and run it

The source code to build & run the angular demo app, with the Dockerfile inside it to build the docker. is available on:
