The following guide shows how to run etcd with rkt and Docker using the static bootstrap process.
In order to expose the etcd API to clients outside of Docker host, use the host IP address of the container. Please see docker inspect
for more detail on how to get the IP address. Alternatively, specify --net=host
flag to docker run
command to skip placing the container inside of a separate network stack.

To run etcdctl
using API version 3:
docker exec etcd /bin/sh -c "export ETCDCTL_API=3 && /usr/local/bin/etcdctl put foo bar"
