Runs an Exhibitor-managed ZooKeeper instance using S3 for backups and automatic node discovery.

Available on the Docker Index as thefactory/zookeeper-exhibitor:

docker pull thefactory/zookeeper-exhibitor

Versions

• Exhibitor 1.5.2
• ZooKeeper 3.4.6

Usage

The container expects the following environment variables to be passed in:

• S3_BUCKET - bucket used by Exhibitor for backups and coordination
• S3_PREFIX - key prefix within S3_BUCKET to use for this cluster
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - AWS access key ID with read/write permissions on S3_BUCKET
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - secret key for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• HOSTNAME - addressable hostname for this node (Exhibitor will forward users of the UI to this address)
• AWS_REGION - (optional) the AWS region of the S3 bucket (defaults to us-west-2)

Starting the container:

docker run -p 8181:8181 -p 2181:2181 -p 2888:2888 -p 3888:3888 \
    -e S3_BUCKET=<bucket> \
    -e S3_PREFIX=<key_prefix> \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key> \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key> \
    -e HOSTNAME=<host> \
    thefactory/zookeeper-exhibitor:latest

Once the container is up, confirm Exhibitor is running:

$ curl -s localhost:8181/exhibitor/v1/cluster/status | python -m json.tool
[
    {
        "code": 3, 
        "description": "serving", 
        "hostname": "<host>", 
        "isLeader": true
    }
]
