clusterdock
clusterdock is a Python 3 project that enables users to build, start, and manage Docker container-based clusters. It uses a pluggable system for defining new types of clusters using folders called topologies and is a swell project, if I may say so myself.
"I hate reading, make this quick."
Before doing anything, install a recent version of Docker to your machine and install clusterdock:
$ pip3 install clusterdockNext, clone a clusterdock topology to your machine. For this example, we'll use the nodebase topology. You could start a 2-node cluster:
$ git clone https://github.com/clusterdock/topology_nodebase.git
$ clusterdock start topology_nodebase

2017-08-03 10:04:20 PM clusterdock.models INFO Cluster started successfully (total time: 00:00:01.621).To list cluster nodes:
$ clusterdock ps
For cluster `famous_hyades` on network cluster the node(s) are:
CONTAINER ID HOST NAME PORTS STATUS CONTAINER NAME VERSION IMAGE
a205d88beb node-2.cluster running nervous_sinoussi 1.3.3 clusterdock/topology_nodebase:centos6.6
6f2825c596 node-1.cluster 8080->80/tcp running priceless_franklin 1.3.3 clusterdock/topology_nodebase:centos6.6To SSH into a node and look around:
$ clusterdock ssh node-1.cluster
