# Digital Ocean and Docker
## Initial setup
In this guide you'll configure a Digital Ocean droplet and set up Docker
locally on either macOS or Linux.
### On macOS
#### Install Docker Toolbox
1. [https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox)
### On Linux
#### Install Docker Engine
1. [https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/)
#### Install Docker Machine
1. [https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine/)
_The rest of the steps are identical for macOS and Linux_
### Create new docker host
1. Login to Digital Ocean
1. Generate a new API token at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens
This command will create a new DO droplet called `gitlab-test-env-do` that will act as a docker host.
**Note: 4GB is the minimum requirement for a Docker host that will run more then one GitLab instance**
+ RAM: 4GB
+ Name: `gitlab-test-env-do`
+ Driver: `digitalocean`
**Set the DO token** - Replace the string below with your generated token
```
export DOTOKEN=cf3dfd0662933203005c4a73396214b7879d70aabc6352573fe178d340a80248
```
**Create the machine**
```
docker-machine create \
--driver digitalocean \
--digitalocean-access-token=$DOTOKEN \
--digitalocean-size "4gb" \
gitlab-test-env-do
```
+ Resource: https://docs.docker.com/machine/drivers/digital-ocean/
### Creating GitLab test instance
#### Connect your shell to the new machine
In this example we'll create a GitLab EE 8.10.8 instance.
First connect the docker client to the docker host you created previously.
```
eval "$(docker-machine env gitlab-test-env-do)"
```
You can add this to your `~/.bash_profile` file to ensure the `docker` client uses the `gitlab-test-env-do` docker host
#### Create new GitLab container
+ HTTP port: `8888`
+ SSH port: `2222`
+ Set `gitlab_shell_ssh_port` using `--env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG `
+ Hostname: IP of docker host
+ Container name: `gitlab-test-8.10`
+ GitLab version: **EE** `8.10.8-ee.0`
##### Setup container settings
```
export SSH_PORT=2222
export HTTP_PORT=8888
export VERSION=8.10.8-ee.0
export NAME=gitlab-test-8.10
```
##### Create container
```
docker run --detach \
--env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG="external_url 'http://$(docker-machine ip gitlab-test-env-do):$HTTP_PORT'; gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port'] = $SSH_PORT;" \
--hostname $(docker-machine ip gitlab-test-env-do) \
-p $HTTP_PORT:$HTTP_PORT -p $SSH_PORT:22 \
--name $NAME \
gitlab/gitlab-ee:$VERSION
```
#### Connect to the GitLab container
##### Retrieve the docker host IP
```
docker-machine ip gitlab-test-env-do
# example output: 192.168.151.134
```
+ Browse to: http://192.168.151.134:8888/
##### Execute interactive shell/edit configuration
```
docker exec -it $NAME /bin/bash
```
```
# example commands
root@192:/# vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
root@192:/# gitlab-ctl reconfigure
```
