Docker IDE

Docker IDE is really just a simple editor for Dockerfiles that allows you to connect to a docker host and build your image as you configure it giving quick feedback.

You can see it running at http://superafroman.github.io/docker-ide

Run with Docker

To avoid the security risks of CORS and running Docker without TLS you can run DockerIDE as a container, sharing the host Docker socket.

docker run -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name docker-ide superafroman/docker-ide

This will make DockerIDE available at http://localhost or if you're using boot2docker whatever the IP address of your Docker host is.

Configure Docker to allow access

This is a proof-of-concept and so currently requires you to enable CORS in the Docker API. You will also need to disable TLS or add the docker URL as a trusted site in whatever browser you use.

Enable CORS

This is dangerous if the daemon is accessible to the public network.

Start the Docker deamon with --api-enable-cors

For boot2docker do:

$ boot2docker ssh
docker@boot2docker:~$ sudo su -
root@boot2docker:/home/docker# echo 'EXTRA_ARGS="--api-enable-cors"' >> /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
root@boot2docker:/home/docker# exit
docker@boot2docker:~$ exit
$ boot2docker restart

Disable TLS

export DOCKER_TLS=no and restart the Docker daemon.

For boot2docker do:

$ boot2docker ssh
docker@boot2docker:~$ sudo su -
root@boot2docker:/home/docker# echo 'DOCKER_TLS=no' >> /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
root@boot2docker:/home/docker# exit
docker@boot2docker:~$ exit
$ boot2docker restart
