-Soledad Docker Images
-=====================
-
-The files in this directory help create a docker image that is usable for
-running soledad server and client in an isolated docker context. This is
-especially useful for testing purposes as you can limit/reserve a certain
-amount of resources for the soledad process, and thus provide a baseline for
-comparison of time and resource consumption between distinct runs.
-
-Check the `Dockerfile` for the steps for creating the docker image.
-
-Check the `Makefile` for the rules for running containers.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-1. Install docker for your system: https://docs.docker.com/
-2. Build images by running `make`
-3. Execute `make run-tox` and `make run-perf` to run tox tests and perf tests,
- respectivelly.
-4. You may want to pass some variables to the `make` command to control
- parameters of execution, for example:
-
- make run-perf SOLEDAD_PRELOAD_NUM=500
-
- See more variables below.
-
-
-Environment variables for docker containers
--------------------------------------------
-
-Different environment variables can be set for docker containers and will
-cause the scripts to behave differently:
-
- SOLEDAD_REMOTE - a git url for a remote repository that is added at run time
- to the local soledad git repository.
-
- SOLEDAD_BRANCH - the name of a branch to be checked out from the configured
- remote repository.
-
- SOLEDAD_PRELOAD_NUM - The number of documents to be preloaded in the
- container database (either client or server).
-
- SOLEDAD_PRELOAD_SIZE - The size of the payload of the documents to be
- prelaoded in the container database (either client or
- server).
-
- SOLEDAD_SERVER_URL - The URL of the soledad server to be used during the
- test.
-
-Check the Makefile for examples on how to use these and maybe even other
-variables not documented here.
-
-
-Communication between client and server containers
---------------------------------------------------
-
-A CONTAINER_ID_FILE variable can be passed to the Makefile target so that the
-container id is recorded in a file for further use. This makes it possible to
-extract a container's IP and pass it to another container so they can
-communicate.
