Build Your Own PaaS with Docker

Overview of this book

<p>Docker is a great tool in many ways for developers and people in DevOps.</p> <p>We begin by learning how easy it is to create and publish your own customized Docker images and making them available to everyone. We also see how practical it is to separate every service to its own container. When you have published separated service containers, the process of running all kinds of platforms in the same server for easier cloud computing is a walk in the park.</p> <p>This book walks you through a use case project that will teach you how to customize and create your own Docker image, allowing you to run any platform you want. The project evolves throughout the book and emerges as a complete three containers Wordpress/MySQL platform when finished.</p> <p>By the end of the book, you will know how to create such a container on a Wordpress/MySQL platform, among others.</p>

Flynn


The guy who created Dokku, Jeff Lindsay, has also co-created Flynn. Flynn is like a super-Dokku that, among other things, lets you run your PaaS on multiple hosts.

"Flynn is two things:

A distribution of components that out-of-the-box gives companies a reasonable starting point for an internal platform for running their applications and services.

The banner for a collection of independent projects that together make up a toolkit or loose framework for building distributed systems.

Flynn is both a whole and many parts, depending on what is most useful for you. The common goal is to democratize years of experience and best practices in building distributed systems. It is the software layer between operators and developers that makes both their lives easier."

I have tried using Flynn a few times, but I have always gone back to using Dokku again because I find Dokku easier to use, and my clients don't need the extra features such as multihost PaaS.
