This repo is obsolete. Docker images are now created via GitHub actions in the rqlite repository.
This is the Git repo for the rqlite Docker image. Check the Dockerfile within each directory to learn which rqlite release, and architecture, the Docker image uses. If you build your own rqlite container, you may need to use a different release than that referenced in the Dockerfile.
docker pull rqlite/rqlite
docker run rqlite/rqlite
This will start a single node, connected to the default bridge network. The HTTP API will be available at http://$IP:4001. $IP is the address Docker assigns to your rqlite container, and will be displayed in the rqlite logs. For convenience you might like to make rqlite available on localhost by passing -p4001:4001 to the run command.
docker run -p4001:4001 rqlite/rqlite
rqlite supports many options, allowing you to control its behavior. To set an option simply append it your launch command. For example, to explicitly set the path to the SQLite database file:
docker run rqlite/rqlite -on-disk-path=/root/mydb.sqlite3
You can see the full set of options via:
docker run rqlite/rqlite -help
docker run rqlite/rqlite -join $IP:4002
where $IP is the Raft IP address of the node you wish to join.
See the clustering guide for more details on creating and managing rqlite clusters.
