Gluster users - Mar 2014 - Has anyone dockerized gluster yet?

Hi folks.

Well, after James Shubin's tour-de-awesome of Gluster on vagrant, i think
we all learned two things:

- james is an awesome hacker
- vagrant isnt ready for primetime on KVM yet.

So, an alternative for quick and easy spin up of gluster systems for
dev/test would be a docker recipe for gluster on fedora/centos/...

Has anyone set up a docker container that installs and mounts a couple of
gluster peers as linux containers yet?  It love to see how that works, and
then maybe layer in hadoop on top of it.

Thank you!

Sadly, I agree, but not necessarily for the same reason. It was
supposed to be included in Fedora 20 as a feature/package, but
something happened, and it got pushed back. Once this happens, I think
all the important barriers are gone.

The other issue was the lack of proper vagrant boxes, but I consider
this now solved, especially with the hosted box that I provide [1]
(thanks to JMW for the hosting), and because you can build you own
with other tools, including my own:

I don't see it as an alternative, actually, I see using Docker with
GlusterFS as being another goal that needs more investigating :)

I recently saw this:

Which I wanted to reply to, but didn't have time to yet.
Sorry Kaushal!
