This is a Docker image that includes Pacemaker and Corosync, both managed by pcs.

To get this image, pull it from docker hub:

docker pull pschiffe/pcs

If you want to build this image yourself, clone the GitHub repository and run the following command in the directory containing the Dockerfile:

docker build -t pcs .

To run the image:

docker run -dt --privileged --net=host -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /run/docker.sock:/run/docker.sock:ro -v /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker:ro --name pcs pschiffe/pcs

The Pacemaker in this image can manage Docker containers on the host. This is why the Docker socket and binary are exposed to the image (do not expose these if not necessary). Cgroup fs and privileged mode is required by the systemd in the container and --net=host is required so the pacemaker is able to manage virtual IP.

The pcs web UI will be available at https://localhost:2224/. To log in, you need to set a password for the hacluster Linux user inside the image:

docker exec -it pcs bash
passwd hacluster

Then you can use hacluster as the login name and your password in the web ui.

You can create a cluster using the web UI or via the CLI. Every node in the cluster must be running the pcs Docker container and must have a set password for the hacluster user. Then, on one of the nodes in the cluster run (modify pieces in []):

docker exec -it pcs bash
pcs host auth -u hacluster -p [hapass] [master1 master2 master3]  # master[1-3] are hostnames of nodes in your cluster
pcs cluster setup [cluster_name] [master1 master2 master3] --start --enable
pcs status

Create virtual ip:

pcs resource create virtual-ip IPaddr2 ip=[192.168.92.3] --group [master-group]

Define docker resource image:

pcs resource create [docker-master] ocf:heartbeat:docker image=[docker-master] reuse=1 run_opts='[-p 8080]' --group [master-group]

Disable stonith (this will start the cluster):

pcs property set stonith-enabled=false

You can view and modify your cluster in the web UI even if you created it using the CLI. However, you need to add it to the web UI first (select 'Add existing').
