Hi, I am looking to setup Plone based site with two plone instances (load balanced later) on a zeo cluster.
Following the basic instructions here:
https://github.com/plone/plone.docker/blob/master/docs/usage.rst
I have tried but it wont connect to default plone installation and localhost:8080 won't respond.
I am using CentOS7 (base) with Plone:4.3.12
Two screenshots attached showing the order of commands executed.
Can somebody guide me what is missing?
Thanks
To analyse this kind of behaviour (looks like a "startup problem"), it is a good idea to start "Plone" in "foreground" mode. This way, (usually) helpful messages are displayed in the "console"; you should see what goes on and (hopefully) what goes wrong.
I am not familiar with docker. In a more basic (ZEO) setup, you would use bin/client1 fg to start Plone in foreground mode.
More info attached as @dieter suggested.
I ran the docker containers in interactive mode so it has the console.. (will fg argument creates a detailed log file, and in that case where should I look for it inside the container?)
Console output for all 3 containers attached.
You're trying to connect to the wrong port.
As I can see within docker ps screenshot, your Plone containers are exposing on host ports 8081 and 8082. Thus, you either curl http://localhost:8081 or curl http://localhost:8082 or you add a load-balancer in front (e.g.: haproxy) that expose port 8080 on host. See https://github.com/plone/plone.docker/blob/master/docs/usage.rst#3-scale
P.S. I fixed the ZEO example within usage.rst
Correct - Thank you @avoinea, you are right, I should have tested on port 8081/8082
I was guessing something missing in the usage.rst but didn't want to raise the issue on github for that.
Understand that - I need to put a load-balancing http proxy in front.
This problem is closed.
All you need is use Rancher. In this has a full stack of Plone working like a charm (lb, 2 instances and ZEO).
It's all for tests... for production enviroments, you have to see an permanent storage.
