Dockerfiles for building a storm cluster. Inspired by https://github.com/ptgoetz/storm-vagrant

The images are available directly from https://index.docker.io

##Pre-Requisites

• install fig https://orchardup.github.io/fig/install.html

##Usage

Start a cluser:

• fig up

Destroy a cluster:

• fig stop

##Building

• rebuild.sh

##FAQ

Take a look at fig.yml:

ui:
  image: wurstmeister/storm-ui:0.9.2
      ports:
        - "49080:8080"

This tells Docker to expose the Docker UI container's port 8080 as port 49080 on the host. So we know the port - 49080. But what's the IP?

By default you can use localhost. If you're using boot2docker, then do:

$ boot2docker ip
The VM's Host only interface IP address is: 192.168.59.103

Which returns your docker VM's IP.
So, to open storm UI, type the following in your browser:

localhost:49080

or

192.168.59.103:49080

in my case.

Since the nimbus host and port are not default, you need to specify where the nimbus host is, and what is the nimbus port number.
Following the example above, after discovering the numbus host IP (could be localhost, could be our docker VM ip as in the case of boot2docker), run the following command:

storm jar target/your-topology-fat-jar.jar com.your.package.AndTopology topology-name -c nimbus.host=192.168.59.103 -c nimbus.thrift.port=49627

The answer to this depends on your local setup, whether you're using docker natively or via a VM.
If you are using boot2docker over virtualbox, then open virtualbox (just type virtualbox in terminal).
Select boot2docker-vm. Click on 'settings'. Network. Select the adapter that is attached to NAT (probably 1). Port Forwarding. Click on the '+' sign to add a rule.
Add the following rule:

BTW: This will expost nimbus on the default port, so you don't need to specify the nimbus.thrift.port in your deploy command

Yes. That's a really cool idea. This is your homework. When you're done, update this tutorial :)
