Installing Ballista with Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a convenient way to launch a cluister when testing locally. The following Docker Compose example demonstrates how to start a cluster using a single process that acts as both a scheduler and an executor, with a data volume mounted into the container so that Ballista can access the host file system.

version: '2.0'
services:
  etcd:
    image: quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.4.9
    command: "etcd -advertise-client-urls http://etcd:2379 -listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379"
    ports:
      - "2379:2379"
  ballista-executor:
    image: ballistacompute/ballista-rust:0.4.1
    command: "/executor --bind-host 0.0.0.0 --port 50051 --local"
    environment:
      - RUST_LOG=info
    ports:
      - "50050:50050"
      - "50051:50051"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

With the above content saved to a docker-compose.yaml file, the following command can be used to start the single node cluster.

docker-compose up

The scheduler listens on port 50050 and this is the port that clients will need to connect to.
