Deploy Docker

JFrog Connect agent utilizes Docker and the Docker Compose engine to pull and run the image containers to the edge. Therefore, Docker standard practices are applied when pulling images (e.g., Docker cache and image layers).

Prerequisites

• JFrog Connect account and at least one device registered.

• Docker and/or Docker-compose installed

• One or more Docker images in the JFrog Platform ready for deployment. If you need to push an image to the JFrog Platform, use the docker tag and docker push commands as shown below.

Drag the Action

To include the Deploy Docker action in your update flow, do the following:

1. Go to Deployment in the left menu and click Create Update Flow.

2. Drag the Deploy Docker action and drop it in the workflow.

Configure the Action

Click the action to open and configure it.

1. Enter a name for the action.

2. Choose the registry where your Docker image resides. This could be either the default registry that was created automatically when your Connect account was created or a private registry that has since been added. If the registry does not appear in the list, go to Add JFrog Registry to add yours to the list. Then return to this configuration and the added registry will appear in the list.

1. (Optional) If your registry does not appear in the dropdown list, go to Registry Management in Settings to add a registry.

2. For Deployment Type, choose either Docker Image or Docker Compose. To read the specific procedure for each of these, click either Docker Image or Docker Compose.

Artifactory Edge

If you want the action to pull content from an Artifactory Edge account, complete the procedure in Add JFrog Registry, and then choose that registry as your JFrog Registry in Step 2 above.

On Failure

After you have completed the configuration, click On Failure to configure your failure policy. Upon failure, the default Do Action is Revert Docker Compose File. This means that if the action or update fails, the rollback will revert to the Docker Compose file of the last successfully running application.
