=====Overview===== In order to connect to docker, you should firstly know the name of the docker container. This can be obtained as follows: [root@tain-cx-uatdkrdb1 ~]# docker container ls CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 71e7c7016763 docker-registry.tain.com/cassandra:3.10 "/docker-entrypoint.…" 9 days ago Up 9 days cas3 ea9b9f22c874 docker-registry.tain.com/cassandra:3.10 "/docker-entrypoint.…" 9 days ago Up 9 days cas2 46fac822cffe docker-registry.tain.com/cassandra:3.10 "/docker-entrypoint.…" 9 days ago Up 9 days cas1 So in order to connect we can simply execute the /bin/bash on the container: [root@tain-cx-uatdkrdb1 ~]# docker exec --help Usage: docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...] Run a command in a running container Options: -d, --detach Detached mode: run command in the background --detach-keys string Override the key sequence for detaching a container -e, --env list Set environment variables -i, --interactive Keep STDIN open even if not attached --privileged Give extended privileges to the command -t, --tty Allocate a pseudo-TTY -u, --user string Username or UID (format: [:]) -w, --workdir string Working directory inside the container [root@tain-cx-uatdkrdb1 ~]# docker exec -it cas1 /bin/bash root@46fac822cffe:/# <- We are on 1st container :) =====File Migration with Mongo===== Migration to and from the docker is done rather easily, even when you have to export a database or so: ====Export collection==== The export from Mongo is done via the standard utils like: mongoexport, but firstly we have to see our container: [root@tpb-mts-stdkr1 ~]# docker container ls CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 0ac74afee7b7 nginx:latest "nginx -g 'daemon of…" 7 weeks ago Up 7 weeks 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp production_nginx_1 c188736759e9 docker.tain.com/incident.backend:latest "./server" 7 weeks ago Up 33 hours 0.0.0.0:3000->8080/tcp production_incidenttool_backend_1 18e980dee75c docker.tain.com/incident.frontend:latest "nginx -g 'daemon of…" 7 weeks ago Up 33 hours 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp production_incidenttool_frontend_1 8385665052a3 mongo "docker-entrypoint.s…" 4 months ago Up 33 hours 0.0.0.0:27017->27017/tcp production_incidenttool_mongo_1 e03d9bc636c5 mongo "docker-entrypoint.s…" 5 months ago Up 33 hours 0.0.0.0:27018->27017/tcp recordingtool_mongo_1 e4031dbf6b08 mongo-express "tini -- /docker-ent…" 5 months ago Up 33 hours 0.0.0.0:8082->8081/tcp recordingtool_mongo_management_1 667870179b38 recordingtool/server:latest "./server" 5 months ago Up 33 hours recordingtool_server_1 5d37f142d32b netdata/netdata "/usr/sbin/run.sh" 8 months ago Up 27 hours 0.0.0.0:19999->19999/tcp netdata (reverse-i-search)`': ^C Then we can connect to it as follows: [root@tpb-mts-stdkr1 ~]# docker exec -it 8385665052a3 /bin/bash And then we can connect to the mongo, if we want to: root@8385665052a3:/# mongo admin -u root -p password MongoDB shell version v4.0.4 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/admin Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("310e30d1-8cf6-4e4a-b1a4-206d3c9104a1") } MongoDB server version: 4.0.4 Server has startup warnings: 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** WARNING: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled is 'always'. 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** We suggest setting it to 'never' 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** WARNING: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag is 'always'. 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** We suggest setting it to 'never' 2020-01-09T01:33:38.696+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] --- Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).
