hectcastro/basho-otp repository overview

⁠docker-basho-otp

For a few releases in a row now, Basho has packaged a fork of Erlang/OTP along with Riak/Riak CS. If you're installing Riak/Riak CS from a package, all of the hard work has been taken care of for you. If you are installing from source, then you may want to install the forked version of Erlang/OTP as well.

This Dockerfile aids building Basho's forked version of Erlang/OTP. The most recent fork is R16B02_basho5, which is meant to be paired with Riak 2.0.

Note: All patches included in the Basho fork have already been adopted in later versions of the official Erlang/OTP release.

⁠SSH

The phusion/baseimage-docker⁠ image has the ability to enable an insecure key for conveniently logging into a container via SSH. It is enabled in the Dockerfile by default here:

RUN /usr/sbin/enable_insecure_key

In order to login to the container via SSH using the insecure key, follow the steps below.

Use docker inspect to determine the container IP address:

$ docker inspect $CONTAINER_ID | grep IPAddress
        "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",

Download the insecure key, alter its permissions, and use it to SSH into the container via its IP address:

$ curl -o insecure_key -fSL https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker/raw/master/image/insecure_key
$ chmod 600 insecure_key
$ ssh -i insecure_key [email protected]

Note: If you're using boot2docker⁠, ensure that you're issuing the SSH command from within the virtual machine running boot2docker.
