Is it possible to submit docker run within a docker to host docker?

Within my docker, I’d like to also call docker run to connect docker daemon in the host; is it possible? how? The requirement is coming from run Mesos agent in Docker, and the Mesos Agent also uses docker container to execute task.

Hi,

You should run the mesos agent container by attaching /var/run/docker.sock and /cgroup as volumes. Also you should make sure that the mesos container contains docker binary. You can also mount the docker binary from host if you want.

Eg:

docker run -d \
 --net host \ 
 --restart always \
 --privileged \
 --name mesos-slave \
 -v /cgroup:/cgroup \
 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
 -v `which docker`:/usr/local/bin/docker \
mesos-slave

Hi,

Thanks for your reply; that’s work for general docker image. But for Mesos Agent/Slave, we also need to add -v /sys:/sys, it’s mesos’s requirement.

Thanks
