setup remote host

[ymote]

Hi,

The remote host using HTTPS. Is there any way to specify the certification path to make HTTPS work? The UI does not have the options. Thanks.

Hi Yue,

in order to set an HTTPS remote docker host I think you have to add two environment properties: DOCKER_CERT_PATH and DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY

e.g.

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -v /home/user/docker-compose-ui/demo-projects:/opt/docker-compose-projects:ro \
    -e DOCKER_HOST=remote-docker-host:2375 \
    -e DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1 \
    -e DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/home/user/docker-cert \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui

you can find additional info on the docker-compose repository: docs and docker_client.py

Hi Yue,

did you manage to solve the issue?

Here is my script which can run successfully. Please note that it is necessary to map the HTTPS certificate path to container volume and set DOCKER_CERT_PATH to the container's cert path.

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -v /home/user/docker-compose-ui/demo-projects:/opt/docker-compose-projects:ro \
    -v /Users/abcd/.docker/machine/machines/default:/opt/cert:ro \
    -e DOCKER_HOST=https://192.168.99.102:2376 \
    -e DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1 \
    -e DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/opt/cert \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui

Thank you for the clarification.
I will close the issue, feel free to reopen if necessary.

Hi all

What if I have swarm, but I'm not using TLS? What if I already have a swarm where I want compose-ui to live and lead? This is what I'm trying to run, which start the ui but does not build things

docker -H tcp://172.17.7.11:4000 run
-dit
--name docker-compose-ui
-p 5000:5000
-e DOCKER_HOST=http://172.17.7.11:4000
francescou/docker-compose-ui`

Hello,
I have a working compose-ui running on a Swarm Cluster without TLS. Scaling in the Swarm with the UI is very cool! This is my setup:

• On the Swarm Master and on the other Swarm Hosts, the project folder is shared from a nfs server
• Data needing persistence are shared like the project folder
• The /opt/docker-compose-projects must really exist and must be the project folder or a link to it
• The UI is running OUTSIDE the swarm cluster, it is launched on a node not on the cluster endpoint. It can be a node that is not part of the cluster
• The command used to launch the UI is:

CLUSTER_IP=Insert the cluster ip
CLUSTER_PORT=Insert the cluster port
docker run --name composeui -p 5000:5000  \
-v "/opt/docker-compose-projects:/opt/docker-compose-projects:ro" \
-w "/opt/docker-compose-projects" \
-e DOCKER_HOST=$CLUSTER_IP:$CLUSTER_PORT \
francescou/docker-compose-ui -d

Probably this is not the better way to run it, but i hope this can help you.

Thanks @dvdred !
@wido-gg did you solve the issue following his guidelines?

I'm not sure I have.

For one side, I can connect to the swarm. The thing is, when I send
commands to do the build, or a pull, the docker engines that are part of
the swarm start to download the images but after that nothing happens.

I'll try to collect some logs. Let me know if you want to follow up here or
in a new ticket. Thanks!

please @wido-gg, can you describe your setup with some more details? What happens when you do the "up" and what is the content of the docker-compose.yml?

[francescou]

I understand you can connect to swarm so I guess it would be better to open a new issue.

Collect some logs if you can and let's follow up in a new issue
