This is a working multi-node docker image that lets you run Alluxio (ex-Tachyon)

https://hub.docker.com/r/ajmssc/alluxio-cluster/

The docker-compose.yml assumes DOCKER_HOST=192.168.99.100. Change to your docker host ip or use something with better networking like docker-swarm or mesos

Admin UI is at http://192.168.99.100:19999/home

Build and run

docker-compose kill && \ docker-compose rm --force && \  docker-compose build && \ docker-compose up -d

SH to master

docker exec -ti alluxiocluster_alluxio-master_1 bash

FS operations from command line (Requires alluxio client)

EXPORT ALLUXIO_MASTER_ADDRESS=192.168.99.100 ./alluxio-1.0.0/bin/alluxio fs ls / ./alluxio-1.0.0/bin/alluxio fs copyFromLocal pom.xml /

Scale up - BROKEN because docker-compose does not support dynamic port assignment

docker-compose scale alluxio-slave=3
