I'm trying to get started with PANDA RE, a framework developed by MIT Lincoln Lab for Reverse Engineering. Their website says that beginners should try the tool through docker first. Therefore, I pulled their image and got it to run with the command docker run -p 5900:5900 --rm pandare/panda panda-system-i386. The log says VNC server running on 127.0.0.1:5900.
However, if I use Remmina to connect via VNC, it says "VNC server closed connection."
Any tips on fixing this?
If it helps, docker container ls prints 0.0.0.0:5900->5900/tcp for this container
If you run the --help you will get
The default display is equivalent to
"-vnc localhost:0,to=99,id=default"
So, in order to get the panda to listen to 0.0.0.0 you will need to run it with
docker run -p 5900:5900 -ti --rm pandare/panda panda-system-i386 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0,to=99,id=default
I've been using for years a containerized version of a web-application on my development laptop. Usually I do something like
docker run -it -d --rm -h app.localhost my-app
and, having added app.localhost to my hosts file, going to http://app.localhost everything works. Yesterday an update came for docker and I'm no longer able to do that. Running the image with the same command line options and trying to connect to the application I get a browser error page and checking the logs in the container shows no request at all got to the web server. Running curl http://app.localhost in a terminal works fine, and I've been able to fix the problem changing the my command line options to
docker run -it -d --rm -p 80:80 -h app.localhost my-app
i.e. explicitly exposing port 80.
Can anyone explain what went wrong? And why would curl and my web browser behave differently?
Edit: to clarify: I'm referring to an update of the docker packages for my OS (Ubuntu 18 if that matters).
I have recently heard about sitespeed.io and started using it to measure performance of my site.
I am running it in a docker container on my gcp cloud instance.
The problem is everytime i run the command it stores the result in a particular directory sitespeed-result and then I need to copy the whole thing on my local windows machine to view index.html file.
Is it possible to run this on a server like apache? I mean for example I can run an apache container on my docker host but how do i map this sitespeed io result so that it can be available using http://my-gcp-instance:80 where my apache container is running on port 80.
sudo docker run -v "$(pwd)":/sitespeed.io sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:13.3.0 https://mywebsite.com
Sorry for posting thr question this but I got it working.
sudo docker run -dit --name my-apache -p 8080:80 -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd:2.4
(pwd) is where i am storing the sitespeed results.
I am trying to integrate docker into my CI platform. After getting this working properly with a Docker-in-a-docker solution, I came across a blog post by one of the Docker maintainers, where he says that instead of using a Docker-in-a-docker solution for my CI, I should instead simply mount the /var/run/docker.sock to my CI container.
https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-docker-for-ci/
Simply put, when you start your CI container (Jenkins or other), instead of hacking something together with Docker-in-Docker, start it with:
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...
So I tried this. I ran the following command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkins
Using jenkins as my CI container.
When running the above command, jenkins starts up properly, and I can jump into the container to see that the docker.sock file is located in the /var/run/ path.
However, when I run the command: docker, the machine returns with the following message:
bash: docker: command not found
Does anyone know what I am missing in order to make this work per the author's instructions?
I am using Docker v. 1.11.1, on a fresh CentOS 7 box.
Thanks in advance
Figured this out today. The above command will work so long as the docker daemon + dependencies are added to the container. In my case, I ended up writing a simple Dockerfile, which also included the line:
RUN curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
This installed Docker on the container, and when I ran docker images from within the container, I could see all of the images from my host machine. I am now able to use all of the docker commands from within the container.
I've installed the tensorflow docker container on an ubuntu machine. The tensorflow docker setup instructions specify:
docker run -it b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow
This puts me into the docker container terminal, and I can run python and execute the Hello World example. I can also manually run .\run_jupyter.sh to start the jupyter notebook. However, I can't reach the notebook from host.
How do I start the jupyter notebook such that I can use the notebook from the host machine? Ideally I would like to use docker to launch the container and start jupyter in a single command.
For a Linux host Robert Graves answer will work, but for Mac OS X or Windows there is more to be done because docker runs in a virtual machine.
So to begin launch the docker shell (or any shell if you are using Linux) and run the following command to launch a new TensorFlow container:
docker run -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow ./run_jupyter.sh
Then for Mac OS X and Windows you need to do the following only once:
Open VirtualBox
Click on the docker vm (mine was automatically named "default")
Open the settings by clicking settings
In the network settings open the port forwarding dialog
Click the + symbol to add another port and connect a port from your mac to the VM by filling in the dialog as shown below. In this example I chose port 8810 because I run other notebooks using port 8888.
then open a browser and connect to http://localhost:8810 (or whichever port you set in the host port section
Make your fancy pants machine learning app!
My simple yet efficient workflow:
TL;DR version:
Open Docker Quickstart Terminal. If it is already open, run $ cd
Run this once: $ docker run -it -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -v /$(pwd)/tensorflow:/notebooks --name tf b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow
To start every time: $ docker start -i tf
If you are not on windows, you should probably change /$(pwd) to $(pwd)
You will get an empty folder named tensorflow in your home directory for use as a persistent storage of project files such as Ipython Notebooks and datasets.
Explanation:
cd for making sure you are in your home directory.
params:
-it stands for interactive, so you can interact with the container in the terminal environment.
-v host_folder:container_folder enables sharing a folder between the host and the container. The host folder should be inside your home directory. /$(pwd) translates to //c/Users/YOUR_USER_DIR in Windows 10. This folder is seen as notebooks directory in the container which is used by Ipython/Jupyter Notebook.
--name tf assigns the name tf to the container.
-p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 mapping ports of container to host, first pair for Jupyter notebook, the second one for Tensorboard
-i stands for interactive
Running TensorFlow on the cloud
After further reading of docker documentation I have a solution that works for me:
docker run -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow ./run_jupyter.sh
The -p 8888:8888 and -p 6006:6006 expose the container ports to the host on the same port number. If you just use -p 8888, a random port on the host will be assigned.
The ./run_jupyter.sh tells docker what to execute within the container.
With this command, I can use a browser on the host machine to connect to http://localhost:8888/ and access the jupyter notebook.
UPDATE:
After wrestling with docker on windows I switched back to a Ubuntu machine with docker. My notebook was being erased between docker sessions which makes sense after reading more docker documentation. Here is an updated command which also mounts a host directory within the container and starts jupyter pointing to that mounted directory. Now my notebook is saved on the host and will be available next time start up tensorflow.
docker run -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -v /home/rob/notebook:/notebook b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow sh -c "jupyter notebook /notebook"
Jupyter now has a ready to run Docker image for TensorFlow:
docker run -d -v $(pwd):/home/jovyan/work -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tensorflow-notebook
These steps worked for me if you are a total docker noob using a windows machine.
Versions: Windows 8.1, docker 1.10.3, tensorflow r0.7
Run Docker Quickstart Terminal
After it is loaded, note the ip address. If you can't find it use this docker-machine ip and make a note. Lets call it 'ip address'. Will look something like this: 192.168.99.104 (I made up this ip address)
Paste this command on the docker terminal:
docker run -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow.
If you are running this for the first time, it will download and install the image on this light weight vm. Then it should say 'The Jupyter notebook is running at ....' -> This is a good sign!
Open your browser at: <your ip address (see above)>:8888. Eg. 192.168.99.104:8888/
Hopefully you can see your ipython files.
To get this to run under hyper-v. Perform the following steps:
1) Create a docker virtual machine using https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/scicoria/2014/10/09/getting-docker-running-on-hyper-v-8-1-2012-r2/ this will get you a working docker container. You can connect to it via the console or via ssh. I'd put at least 8gb of memory since I'm sure this will use a lot of memory.
2) run "ifconfig" to determine the IP address of the Docker VM
3) On the docker shell prompt type:
docker run -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -it b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow
4) Connect to the Jupyter Workbench using http:/[ifconfig address]:8888/
To tidy up the things a little bit, I want to give some additional explanations because I also suffered a lot setting up docker with tensorflow. For this I refer to this video which is unfortunately not selfexplanatory in all cases.
I assume you already installed docker. The really interesting general part of the video starts at minute 0:44 where he finally started docker. Until there he only downloads the tensorflow repo into the folder, that he then mounts into the container. You can of course put anything else into the container and access it later in the docker VM.
First he runs the long docker command docker run –dit -v /c/Users/Jay/:/media/disk –p 8000 –p 8888 –p 6006 b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow. The “run” command starts containers. In this case it starts the container “b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow”, whose address is provided within the tensorflow docker installation tutorial. The container will be downloaded by docker if not already locally available.
Then he gives two additional kinds of arguments: He mounts a folder of the hostsystem at the given path to the container. DO NOT forget to give the partition in the beginning (eg. "/c/").
Additionally he declares ports being available later from the host machine with the params -p.
From all this command you get back the [CONTAINER_ID] of this container execution!
You can always see the currently running containers by running “docker ps” in the docker console. Your container created above should appear in this list with the same id.
Next Step: With your container running, you now want to execute something in it. In our case jupyter notebook or tensorflow or whatever: To do this you make docker execute the bash on the newly created container: docker exec –ti [CONTAINER_ID] bash. This command now starts a bash shell on your container. You see this because the “$” now changed to root#[CONTAINER_ID]:. From here is no way back. If you want to get back to the docker terminal, you have to start another fresh docker console like he is doing in minute 1:10. Now with a bash shell running in the container you can do whatever you want and execute Jupiter or tensorflow or whatever. The folder of the host system, you gave in the run command, should be available now under “/media/disk”.
Last step accessing the VM output. It still did not want to work out for me and I could not access my notebook. You still have to find the correct IP and Port to access the launched notebook, tensorboard session or whatever. First find out the main IP by using docker-machine –ls. In this list you get the URL. (If it is your only container it is called default.) You can leave away the port given here. Then from docker ps you get the list of forwarded ports. When there is written 0.0.0.32776->6006/tcp in the list, you can access it from the hostmachine by using the port given in the first place (Awkyard). So in my case the executed tensorboard in the container said “launched on port 6006”. Then from my hostmachine I needed to enter http://192.168.99.100:32776/ to access it.
-> And that’s it! It ran for me like this!
It gives you the terminal prompt:
FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('docker-machine env --shell cmd vdocker') DO %i
docker run -it tensorflow/tensorflow:r0.9-devel
or
FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('docker-machine env --shell cmd vdocker') DO %i
docker run -it b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-devel
You should have 'vdocker' or change vdocker to 'default'.
For some reason I ran into one additional problem that I needed to overcome beyond the examples provided, using the --ip flag:
nvidia-docker run --rm \
-p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 \
-v `pwd`:/root \
-it tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-devel-gpu-py3 sh -c "jupyter notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 ."
And then I can access via http://localhost:8888 from my machine. In some ways this makes sense; within the container you bind to 0.0.0.0 which represents all available addresses. But whether I need to do this seems to vary (e.g I've started notebooks using jupyter/scipy-notebook without having to do this).
In any case, the above command works for me, might be of use to others.
As an alternative to the official TensorFlow image, you can also use the ML Workspace Docker image. The ML Workspace is an open-source web IDE that combines Jupyter, VS Code, TensorFlow, and many other tools & libraries into one convenient Docker image. Deploying a single workspace instance is as simple as:
docker run -p 8080:8080 mltooling/ml-workspace:latest
All tools are accessible from the same port and integrated into the Jupyter UI. You can find the documentation here.
