Meteor Up Docker and Graphicsmagick

Question

I'm looking for how to install Graphicsmagick at Meteor Up Docker.

I found this solution (Access binaries inside docker) but I couldn't make work, where do I put those lines at start.sh?

meteorDockerId=docker ps | grep meteorhacks/meteord:base | awk '{print $1}'
docker exec $meteorDockerId apt-get install graphicsmagick -y

That's my start.sh:

#!/bin/bash

APPNAME=instagatas
APP_PATH=/opt/$APPNAME
BUNDLE_PATH=$APP_PATH/current
ENV_FILE=$APP_PATH/config/env.list
PORT=80
USE_LOCAL_MONGO=0

# remove previous version of the app, if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME

# remove frontend container if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME-frontend

set -e
docker pull meteorhacks/meteord:base

if [ "$USE_LOCAL_MONGO" == "1" ]; then
  docker run \
    -d \
    --restart=always \
    --publish=$PORT:80 \
    --volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
    --env-file=$ENV_FILE \
    --link=mongodb:mongodb \
    --hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
    --env=MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/$APPNAME \
    --name=$APPNAME \
    meteorhacks/meteord:base
else
  docker run \
    -d \
    --restart=always \
    --publish=$PORT:80 \
    --volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
    --hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
    --env-file=$ENV_FILE \
    --name=$APPNAME \
    meteorhacks/meteord:base
fi


  docker pull meteorhacks/mup-frontend-server:latest
  docker run \
    -d \
    --restart=always \
    --volume=/opt/$APPNAME/config/bundle.crt:/bundle.crt \
    --volume=/opt/$APPNAME/config/private.key:/private.key \
    --link=$APPNAME:backend \
    --publish=443:443 \
    --name=$APPNAME-frontend \
    meteorhacks/mup-frontend-server /start.sh

Re-installing the graphicsmagick package every time you re-start the containers seems like a hack I wouldn't want to do.

If you're modifying the start script already, might as well use a Dockerfile:

FROM meteorhacks/meteord:base
RUN apt-get install graphicsmagick -y

Then modify start.sh template to build a new docker image with graphicsmagick, tag it and use that image instead:

see: https://gist.github.com/so0k/7d4be21c5e2d9abd3743/revisions

EDIT: Where to put Dockerfile?

start.sh template is copied to /opt/<appName>/config/, currently the Dockerfile would need to be in that same directory (/opt/<appName>/config/Dockerfile)

see Linux init Task

Alternatively, you can specify specific Dockerfile with the -f flag for the docker build

Or your third option is to pipe Dockerfile to docker build using a here document

I've updated the start.sh gist, we no longer pull the meteord:base image and build it instead:

docker build -t meteorhacks/meteord:app - << EOF
FROM meteorhacks/meteord:base
RUN apt-get install graphicsmagick -y
EOF

The docker build will run every time, but as long as the requirements aren't changing, docker will use the docker images it cached.

I couldn't find where to put my Docker file. I putted at `/opt/instagatas/config` and `/opt/instagatas` but I'm seeing this message `Cannot locate Dockerfile: Dockerfile`. Where do I put it? – Guima Ferreira Aug 09 '15 at 12:45
I've updated my answer to address your comment where to put the Dockerfile, I think it might actually be better to pipe the contents to the `docker build` command within the start.sh template. – Vincent De Smet Aug 09 '15 at 15:41
I tried the third option and it worked if I use `mupx restart`, but when I do `mupx deploy` the `start.sh` change back to original, so I need to change the file again and restart. Theres a way to this don't happen? – Guima Ferreira Aug 09 '15 at 17:46
did you make the change to start.sh in the template folder or in the `/opt/.../config` folder? You should change the start.sh **template** – Vincent De Smet Aug 09 '15 at 20:14
I chagend at `/opt/.../conf`, I couldn't find the template file, where do I find it? – Guima Ferreira Aug 09 '15 at 21:53
I guess in your **global** npm directory? If you installed mup globally `npm install -g mup` – Vincent De Smet Aug 09 '15 at 23:33
awkwardly this didn't work for me - do i have to somehow reset mupx first? – Lukasstr Dec 08 '15 at 21:54
In global .npm/mupx directory I only have 2 files: package.tgz and package/package.json. Can you pls explain how to modify start.sh file in the template? Thanks – Ronen Jan 06 '16 at 16:33

For me it was in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mupx/templates/linux/start.sh – PhilippSpo Jan 17 '16 at 10:45
@PhilippSpo is the real MVP here. Thanks a ton, how do we make this a config? is there a fork that already does it? – Mackenzie Browne Mar 13 '16 at 23:12
@mackbrowne - things changed since this question was asked and it is indeed a bad idea to modify your local mupx copy (your changes will be lost on updates). I personally don't use mupx, I just have experience with Docker & npm. If this functionality is required, somebody may fork and do a pull request to handle this instead... – Vincent De Smet Mar 14 '16 at 10:30
@VincentDeSmet Thanks for this, Easy short term solution is to fork mupx and then just keep it updated regularly with this single file change. Maybe I'll build it out into a feature and PR it back into the main repo. Thanks for the inspiration yo. Also your avatar is dope! – Mackenzie Browne Mar 14 '16 at 21:49
my avatar is only a rip from little dicky bc ppl say I look like him, honest! – Vincent De Smet Mar 15 '16 at 10:20
mupx show me a npm deprecated message and failed to install gm for me. – Dude Mar 16 '16 at 17:13

The development Version of Meteor Up at Kadirahq allows specification of a custom Docker Image in the config file (mup.js).

MeteorD-Images with Graphicsmagick installed are available on Docker Hub.

This got me a working deployment (Meteor 1.3.2.4, Meter Up 309cefb, Node v5.4.1):

mup.js:

module.exports = {
  …
  meteor: {
    dockerImage: 'ianmartorell/meteord-graphicsmagick',
    …
  },
};

Did you have to download this docker image somewhere, or did you just make this change in the mup.js file and it worked? – JoshJoe Sep 09 '16 at 20:26

I couldn't get the docker image that @bskp mentioned to work, so I figured out how to write one that uses abernix/meteord:base and then has graphicsmagick installed. Very simple, but it seems to be working for me on Meteor 1.4.1.1

I just did this in my mup.js file

docker: {
  image: "joshjoe/meteor-graphicsmagick",
},

This was a huge pain to get working, so I'd be happy to help anyone who is struggling with this.

If the if statement successes, you should be able to see a running container corresponding to the image you are grepping. In my opinion you can add the two lines after the fi to obtain the environment variable.

Build an image for get things right, but you can do temporary:

docker exec -it MeteorAppName apt-get install imagemagick -y

docker restart MeteorAppName

Check imagemagick: docker exec -it MeteorAppName convert -version
