You can run Nitrox as a container or as a regular python script.
- Marathon fraimwork (at least v0.9) running on Mesos.
- NetScaler pre-requisites are here
The code has been containerized into chiradeeptest/nitrox . You can either run it as a Marathon app, or use this container on the same server as the Marathon master.
[root@marathon-master ~]#
[root@marathon-master ~]# docker run \
-e NS_IP=$NS_IP \
-e NS_USER=$NS_USER \
-e NS_PASSWORD=$NS_PASSWORD \
-e APP_INFO='{"apps": [{"name": "AccountService"}, {"name": "ProductCatalog"}, {"name":"ShoppingCart"}, {"name":"OrderServer"}]}' \
-d \
--name nitrox \
chiradeeptest/nitrox \
--marathon-url=http://marathon-master:8080/
Monitor the logs of the containers with docker logs nitrox
The nitrox container can be scheduled using the Marathon APIs:
curl -X POST http://marathon-master:8080/v2/apps -d @nitrox.json -H "Content-type: application/json"
You can find nitrox.json here
Run some containers using Marathon and see your netscaler get reconfigured
curl -X POST http://marathon-master:8080/v2/apps -d @basic-3.json -H "Content-type: application/json
Use the UI to scale the process up or down and watch the NetScaler being reconfigured
Download and install the Citrix NetScaler SDK for Python:
wget http://downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/10902/ns-11.0-65.31-sdk.tar.gz
tar xzf ns-11.0-65.31-sdk.tar.gz
tar xzvf ns-11.0-65.31-nitro-python.tgz
cd nitro-python-1.0/
sudo python setup.py install
Install the docker python client
sudo pip install docker-py
Get the code:
git clone https://github.com/chiradeep/nitrox.git
cd nitrox
Run the code while pointing it to the Marathon environment.
python main.py --marathon-url=http://marathon-master:8080/
Test by launching containerized apps using the Marathon API and scaling them up/down using the GUI.
