Overview

The Metron ansible-docker container is provided in an effort reduce the installation burden of building Metron. It may also be used to deploy Metron in a live environment. It is provisioned with software required to sucessfully build metron and run the deployment scripts.

Building the Container

1. Install Docker ( https://www.docker.com/products/overview )
2. Navigate to <project-directory>/metron-deployment/packaging/docker/ansible-docker
3. Build the container docker build -t ansible-docker:2.0.0.2 .

Using the Container to build metron

anytime after building the container you can run it with the following command

docker run -it -v \<project-directory\>:/root/metron ansible-docker:2.0.0.2 bash

If you are going to build metron multiple times, you may want to map the /root/.m2 maven repo from outside of the container so that you don't start with an empty repo every build and have to download the world.

docker run -it -v \<project-directory\>:/root/metron -v \<your .m2 directory\>:/root/.m2 ansible-docker:2.0.0.2 bash

After running the container:

1. cd /root/metron
2. run build commands, for example:

• build metron without tests : mvn clean package -DskipTests
• build metron and build the rpms as well : mvn clean install && cd metron-deployment && mvn package -P build-rpms

If you wish to use this build with a vagrant instance, then after building with rpms as above, modify your usual vagrant up command to skip the build role, as so:

vagrant --ansible-skip-tags="build" up
