Example Voting App
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A simple distributed application running across multiple Docker containers.
|
|
|
|
Getting started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Download [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) for Mac or Windows. [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose) will be automatically installed. On Linux, make sure you have the latest version of [Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Linux Containers
|
|
|
|
The Linux stack uses Python, Node.js, .NET Core (or optionally Java), with Redis for messaging and Postgres for storage.
|
|
|
|
> If you're using [Docker Desktop on Windows](https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows), you can run the Linux version by [switching to Linux containers](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#switch-between-windows-and-linux-containers), or run the Windows containers version.
|
|
|
|
Run in this directory:
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
The app will be running at [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000), and the results will be at [http://localhost:5001](http://localhost:5001).
|
|
|
|
Alternately, if you want to run it on a [Docker Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/), first make sure you have a swarm. If you don't, run:
|
|
```
|
|
docker swarm init
|
|
```
|
|
Once you have your swarm, in this directory run:
|
|
```
|
|
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-stack.yml vote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Windows Containers
|
|
|
|
An alternative version of the app uses Windows containers based on Nano Server. This stack runs on .NET Core, using [NATS](https://nats.io) for messaging and [TiDB](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb) for storage.
|
|
|
|
You can build from source using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose -f docker-compose-windows.yml build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run the app using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose -f docker-compose-windows.yml up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Or in a Windows swarm, run `docker stack deploy -c docker-stack-windows.yml vote`
|
|
|
|
The app will be running at [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000), and the results will be at [http://localhost:5001](http://localhost:5001).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the app in Kubernetes
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The folder k8s-specifications contains the yaml specifications of the Voting App's services.
|
|
|
|
First create the vote namespace
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl create namespace vote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to create the deployments and services objects:
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl create -f k8s-specifications/
|
|
deployment "db" created
|
|
service "db" created
|
|
deployment "redis" created
|
|
service "redis" created
|
|
deployment "result" created
|
|
service "result" created
|
|
deployment "vote" created
|
|
service "vote" created
|
|
deployment "worker" created
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The vote interface is then available on port 31000 on each host of the cluster, the result one is available on port 31001.
|
|
|
|
Architecture
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A front-end web app in [Python](/vote) or [ASP.NET Core](/vote/dotnet) which lets you vote between two options
|
|
* A [Redis](https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/) or [NATS](https://hub.docker.com/_/nats/) queue which collects new votes
|
|
* A [.NET Core](/worker/src/Worker), [Java](/worker/src/main) or [.NET Core 2.1](/worker/dotnet) worker which consumes votes and stores them in…
|
|
* A [Postgres](https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/) or [TiDB](https://hub.docker.com/r/dockersamples/tidb/tags/) database backed by a Docker volume
|
|
* A [Node.js](/result) or [ASP.NET Core SignalR](/result/dotnet) webapp which shows the results of the voting in real time
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The voting application only accepts one vote per client. It does not register votes if a vote has already been submitted from a client.
