How to write a kubernetes pod configuration to start two containers - docker

Question

I would like to create a kubernetes pod that contains 2 containers, both with different images, so I can start both containers together.
Currently I have tried the following configuration:
{
"id": "podId",
"desiredState": {
"manifest": {
"version": "v1beta1",
"id": "podId",
"containers": [{
"name": "type1",
"image": "local/image"
},
{
"name": "type2",
"image": "local/secondary"
}]
}
},
"labels": {
"name": "imageTest"
}
}
However when I execute kubecfg -c app.json create /pods I get the following error:
F0909 08:40:13.028433 01141 kubecfg.go:283] Got request error: request [&http.Request{Method:"POST", URL:(*url.URL)(0xc20800ee00), Proto:"HTTP/1.1", ProtoMajor:1, ProtoMinor:1, Header:http.Header{}, B

How can I modify the configuration accordingly?
Running kubernetes on a vagrant vm (yungsang/coreos).

Answer 1

The error in question here is "failed to find fit". This generally happens when you have a port conflict (try and use the same hostPort too many times or perhaps you don't have any worker nodes/minions.
I'd suggest you either use the Vagrant file that is in the Kubernetes git repo (see http://kubernetes.io) as we have been trying to make sure that stays working as Kubernetes is under very active development. If you want to make it work with the CoreOS single machine set up, I suggest you hop on IRC (#google-containers on freenode) and try and get in touch with Kelsey Hightower.

Answer 2

Your pod spec file looks like invalid.
According to http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/README.html#multiple-containers, a valid multiple containers pod spec should like this
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: www
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /srv/www
name: www-data
readOnly: true
- name: git-monitor
image: kubernetes/git-monitor
env:
- name: GIT_REPO
value: http://github.com/some/repo.git
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /data
name: www-data
volumes:
- name: www-data
emptyDir: {}

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: test
spec:
containers:
- name: wp
image: wordpress
resources:
requests:
memory: "64Mi"
cpu: "250m"
limits:
memory: "128Mi"
cpu: "500m"
- name: ng
image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
