Waiting

Waiting for containers to come up

The main way to wait for a container right now is waiting for a TCP socket to be bound, this is done like so:

for {
  docker <- Docker[IO]
  nginx <- docker("nginx", "latest")
  _ <- nginx.waitForPort(80)
} yield nginx

This will attempt to acquire an open TCP socket to the specified port on that container and will do an exponential backoff, this backoff can be tuned with the optional parameters, such as backoffs which is defaulted to 5.

Waiting for containers to exit

You can also wait for a container to exit and collect it’s logs:

for {
  docker <- Docker[IO]
  nginx  <- docker("byrnedo/alpine-curl", "latest", command=Some(List("http://google.com")))
  exited <- nginx.waitForExit(docker)
} yield (exited.code, exited.logs)
