Quite Possibly Ambitious

What is monk?

Monk is a (brand spanking new) docker orchestration/cluster provisioner/code deploying system, written entirely in javascript / meteor.

Why?

Because everything else sucks (sorry if that offends you).

Monk Requirements

The goals of monk:

• Manageable from any machine
• Deployable from any machine
• Be distributed and self healing
• Simple to bootstrap, and fast
• As simple as pushing my code to deploy
• Multiple environments (such as staging/qa/production)
• rolling releases
• ANY code, any app
• Scalable, self healing, distributed data stores
• Galera for MySQL
• Hot standby/streaming replicaiton PostgreSQL
• Distributed fs available to the application
• etc...
• only HTTP/DNS interfaces to components
• Beautiful

Planned Component Design

• monk-roshi: A virtual machine that runs via vagrant, for the purpose of deploying and managing a cluster.
• monk-shami: Bootstraps a server, running in a datacenter cluster. Updates server on demand.
• monk-jushoku: Schudules app/server deployments, handles traffic routing as required.
• monk: front-end for monk-roshi, monk-shami, monk-jushoku.

Provisioning a cluster

1. clone monk-roshi
2. vagrant up
3. visit http://localhost:9999
4. follow the instructions in your browser

Deploy an application

1. monk create my-app - create's an app called my-app
2. cd my-app
3. edit Dockerfile
4. edit example config file
5. monk build v1.0 - builds the docker file, tags with v1.0
6. monk register - registers the application to monk's docker registry and sets configuration params
7. visit http://localhost:9999
8. deploy the application to the cluster(s)
9. set scaling, constraints, rolling deployments, etc.
10. your app is running
