docker-ubuntu-systemd's Introduction

bdellegrazie/docker-ubuntu-systemd

A Docker image based on ubuntu that runs systemd with a minimal set of services.

Intended for use testing Ansible roles with Molecule

Development use only. Do not use in production!

Supported tags

  • 18.04

But why?

Ansible roles often provide services. Testing these properly requires a service manager.

Running

You need to add a couple of flags to the docker run command to make systemd play nice with Docker.

We must disable seccomp because systemd uses system calls that are not allowed by Docker's default seccomp profile:

--security-opt seccomp=unconfined

Ubuntu's systemd expects /run and /run/lock to be tmpfs file systems, but it can't mount them itself in an unprivileged container:

--tmpfs /run
--tmpfs /run/lock
--tmpfs /tmp

systemd needs read-only access to the kernel's cgroup hierarchies:

-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro

Allocating a pseudo-TTY is not strictly necessary, but it gives us pretty color-coded logs that we can look at with docker logs:

-t

Testing

This image is useless as it's only meant to serve as a base for your own images, but you can still create a container from it. First set up your Docker host as described in Setup above. Then run the following command:

docker run -d --name systemd --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --tmpfs /tmp --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -t bdellegrazie/ubuntu-systemd

Check the logs to see if systemd started correctly:

docker logs systemd

If everything worked, the output should look like this:

systemd 229 running in system mode. (+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN)
Detected virtualization docker.
Detected architecture x86-64.

Also check the journal logs:

docker exec systemd journalctl

The output should look like this:

-- Logs begin at Thu 2017-03-16 14:12:14 UTC, end at Thu 2017-03-16 14:12:26 UTC. --

To check for clean shutdown, in one terminal run:

docker exec systemd journalctl -f

And in another shut down systemd:

docker stop systemd

The journalctl logs should look like this on a clean shutdown:

Mar 16 14:15:49 aad1d41c3a2e systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+3.
