Shipyard
Shipyard is a tool for building modern cloud native development environments. Using the Shipyard configuration language you can create OCI containers, Nomad/Kubernetes clusters and more.

Questions
Kind of, but more about local environments rather than infrastructure
Why not use Docker Compose?
Docker Compose is one of our favourite tools but we found it does not manage dependencies particulary well. Compose also works on a really low level of abstraction. Shipyard addresses these missing features.
Is Shipyard just for Docker?
No, Shipyard is designed to work with Docker, Podman, Raw binaries, etc. At present we only have a Driver for Docker and Podman, but others are on our Roadmap.
Can I use Shipyard for anything other than Dev environments?
Yes, Shipyard can be used to create interactive documentation for your applications and redistributable demo environments to show off your tool or product.
Example Shipyard Config
The following snippets are examples of things you can build with Shipyard, for more detailed examples please see the Blueprints repo https://github.com/shipyard-run/blueprints
Kubernetes Cluster
k8s_cluster "k3s" {
driver = "k3s" // default
nodes = 1 // default
network {
name = "network.cloud"
}
}
helm "consul" {
cluster = "k8s_cluster.k3s"
chart = "./helm/consul-helm-0.16.2"
values = "./helm/consul-values.yaml"
health_check {
timeout = "60s"
pods = ["release=consul"]
}
}
k8s_ingress "consul-http" {
cluster = "k8s_cluster.k3s"
service = "consul-consul-server"
network {
name = "network.cloud"
}
port {
local = 8500
remote = 8500
host = 18500
}
}
Nomad Cluster
nomad_cluster "dev" {
version = "v0.10.2"
nodes = 1 // default
network {
name = "network.cloud"
}
}
nomad_job "redis" {
cluster = "nomad_cluster.dev"
paths = ["./app_config/example2.nomad"]
health_check {
timeout = "60s"
nomad_jobs = ["example_2"]
}
}
nomad_ingress "nomad-http" {
cluster = "nomad_cluster.dev"
job = ""
group = ""
task = ""
port {
local = 4646
remote = 4646
host = 14646
open_in_browser = "/"
}
network {
name = "network.cloud"
}
}
Docker Container
container "consul" {
image {
name = "consul:1.6.1"
}
command = ["consul", "agent", "-config-file=/config/consul.hcl"]
volume {
source = "./consul_config"
destination = "/config"
}
network {
name = "network.onprem"
ip_address = "10.5.0.200" // optional
}
resources {
# Max CPU to consume, 1024 is one core, default unlimited
cpu = 2048
# Pin container to specified CPU cores, default all cores
cpu_pin = [1,2]
# max memory in MB to consume, default unlimited
memory = 1024
}
env {
key ="abc"
value = "123"
}
env {
key ="SHIPYARD_FOLDER"
value = "${shipyard()}"
}
env {
key ="HOME_FOLDER"
value = "${home()}"
}
}
Podman support
Podman support is experimental and at present many features such as Kubernetes clusters do not work with rootless podman and require root access.
Enable the podman socket
Shipyard uses podman's API, which is compatible with the Docker Enginer API. To enable this, you need to run the podman socket as a group that your user has access to. The following example uses the docker
group:
sudo sed '/^SocketMode=.*/a SocketGroup=docker' -i /lib/systemd/system/podman.socket
Then emable the podman socket service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable podman.socket
sudo systemctl enable podman.service
sudo systemctl start podman.socket
sudo systemctl start podman.service
For sockets to be writable they also require execute permission on the parent folder
sudo chmod +x /run/podman
Point your DOCKER_HOST environment variable at the socket
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock
If you have the Docker CLI installed you should be able to contact the podman daemon using the standard Docker commands
docker ps
Default network
➜ sudo podman network ls
NETWORK ID NAME VERSION PLUGINS
2f259bab93aa podman 0.4.0 bridge,portmap,firewall,tuning
Registries
Image pull silently fails if there are no registries defined in podmans /etc/containers/registries.conf
echo -e "[registries.search]\nregistries = ['docker.io']" | sudo tee /etc/containers/registries.conf
DNS
Multiple network cause DNS resolution problems
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/8399
Enabling name resolution
Install dnsmasq
First ensure systemd is not using port 53
https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/07/ubuntu-how-to-free-up-port-53-used-by.html
Install dnsmasq
sudo apt install dnsmasq
Configure dnsmasq for external name server resolution or external network connections will not work
Install the podman dns plugin

Contributing
We love contributions to the project, to contribute, first ensure that there is an issue and that it has been acknowledged by one of the maintainers of the project. Ensuring an issue exists and has been acknowledged ensures that the work you are about to submit will not be rejected due to specifications or duplicate work.
Once an issue exists, you can modify the code and raise a PR against this repo. We are working on increasing code coverage, please ensure that your work has at least 80% test coverage before submitting.
Testing:
The project has two types of tests, pure code Unit tests and Functional tests, which apply real blueprints to a locally-running Docker engine and test output.
Unit tests:
To run the unit tests you can use the make recipe make test_unit
this runs the go test
and excludes the functional tests.

Functional tests:
To run the functional tests ensure that Docker is running in your environment then run make test_functional
. functional tests are executed with GoDog cucumber test runner for Go. Note: These tests execute real blueprints and can a few minutes to run.
