\"Docker\nMachine\"<\/a>This
\nweek we released Rancher 0.12, which adds support for provisioning hosts
\nusing Docker Machine. We\u2019re really excited to get this feature out,
\nbecause it makes launching Rancher-enabled Docker hosts easier than
\never. If you\u2019re not familiar with Docker Machine, it is a project that
\nallows cloud providers to develop standard \u201cdrivers\u201d for provisioning
\ncloud infrastructure on the fly. You can learn more about it on the
\nDocker
\nwebsite<\/a>.
\nThe first cloud we\u2019re supporting with Docker Machine is Digital Ocean.
\nFor our initial release, we chose Digital Ocean, because it is an
\nexcellent implementation of the machine driver. As always, the Digital
\nOcean team has focused on simplicity and user experience, and were
\nfantastic to work with during our testing. Docker machine drivers are
\nalready available for many public cloud providers, as well as vCenter,
\nCloudStack, OpenStack and other private cloud platforms. We will be
\nadding support for additional drivers over the next few weeks, and
\ndocumenting how you can use any driver you like. Please feel free to
\nlet us know<\/a> if there
\nare drivers you would like us to prioritize. Now, let me walk you
\nthrough using Docker Machine with Rancher. To get started, click on the
\n\u201cRegsiter a New Host\u201d link in the Hosts tab within Rancher.
\n\"hosts\"<\/a>
\nIf this is the first time you\u2019ve added a host, you\u2019ll be presented
\nwith a Host Setup dialog that asks you to confirm the DNS host name or
\nIP address that hosts should use to connect to the Rancher API. Confirm
\nthis setting and click Save.
\n\"host-setup\"<\/a>
\nOnce that is completed, you\u2019ll be taken to the Add Host page,
\nwhere you\u2019ll see a new tab for provisioning Digital Ocean hosts.
\n\"new-host\"<\/a>
\nTo provision a Digital Ocean machine, fill out the relevant
\ninformation about the host you want to provision, inlcuding the OS
\nimage, size and Digital Ocean region. You\u2019ll need to have a Digital
\nOcean access token, which you can get by creating an
\naccount<\/a> on their
\nsite. Once you hit create, you\u2019ll be returned to the hosts page where
\nyou will see your new host being created.
\n\"creating\"<\/a>
\nCreating the host will take a few minutes, as the VM needs to be
\nprovisioned, configured with Docker, and bootstrapped as a Rancher host.
\nBut once it\u2019s done, the UI will automatically update to show the new
\nhost. At this point, you have a fully enabled Docker host. You can click
\nthe Add Container link to start adding containers. We hope you find this
\nfeature useful and welcome your feedback. As always, you can submit any
\nfeature requests or other issues to the Rancher GitHub
\nrepo<\/a>. In the next few weeks,
\nwe\u2019ll be adding the ability to export the Docker machine configuration
\nso that you can deploy containers outside of Rancher, more verbose
\nstatus updates during machine creation, and (of course) more Machine
\ndrivers. If you\u2019d like to talk with one of our engineers and learn more
\nabout Rancher, please feel free to request a demo, and we\u2019ll walk you
\nthrough Rancher and answer all of your questions.<\/p>\n
