A Brief Encounter With Docker

Docker, an application-container distribution automation software using Linux-based virtualization, has gained a lot of momentum since it was released in 2013. I never had a chance to try it out but a current project has prompted me to bubble it up my ever-growing To-Do list. Below is a re-cap of my first two hours of experimenting with Docker.

First thing first, get a quick grasp of Docker’s basics. I was going to test it on a MacBook and decided to go for its beta version of Docker for Mac. It’s essentially a native app version of Docker Toolbox with a little trade-off of being limited to a single VM, which can be overcome if one uses it along side with Docker ToolBox. The key differences between the two apps are nicely illustrated at Docker’s website.

Downloading and installing Docker for Mac was straight forward. Below is some configuration info about the installed software:

Next, it’s almost illegal not to run something by the name of hello-world when installing a new software. While at it, test run a couple of less trivial apps to get a feel of running Docker-based apps, including an Nginx and a Ubuntu Bash shell.

# Run hello-world
docker run hello-world

# Run Nginx in background exposing port 80
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx

# Run Ubuntu Bash interactively on a tty terminal
docker run -it ubuntu bash

# Show all containers
docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                      PORTS                         NAMES

795a36227667        nginx               "nginx -g 'daemon off"   24 minutes ago      Up 24 minutes               0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp   webserver

While running hello-world or Ubuntu shell is a one-time deal (e.g. the Ubuntu shell once exit is gone), the -d (for detach) run command option for Nginx would leave the server running in the background. To identify all actively running Docker containers and stop them, below is one quick way:

# Show all running containers
docker ps -q
795a36227667

# Stop all running containers
docker stop $(docker ps -q)

# Show all images
docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
hello-world         latest              693bce725149        2 weeks ago         967 B
nginx               latest              0d409d33b27e        2 weeks ago         182.8 MB
ubuntu              latest              2fa927b5cdd3        3 weeks ago         122 MB

It’s also almost illegal to let any hello-world apps sitting around forever, so it’s a perfect candidate for testing image removal. You’ll have to remove all associated containers before removing the image. Here’s one option:

# Remove all containers associated with hello-world
docker ps -a | grep hello-world | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker rm

# Remove image hello-world
docker rmi hello-world

Note that the above method only remove those containers with description matching the image name. In case an associated container lacking the matching name, you’ll need to remove it manually (docker rm ).

Adapted from Linux’s Cowsay game, Docker provides a Whalesay game and illustrates how to combine it with another Linux game Fortune to create a custom image. This requires composing the DockerFile with proper instructions to create the image as shown below:

# Download and run Whalesay
docker run docker/whalesay cowsay boo

# Create a subdirectory for image building
cd ~/projects/docker/
mkdir dockerbuild
cd dockerbuild/

# Create Dockerfile
vi Dockerfile
FROM docker/whalesay:latest
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y fortunes
CMD /usr/games/fortune -a | cowsay
:wq

Next, to manage your Docker images in the cloud, sign up for an account at Docker Hub. Similar to GitHub, Docker Hub allows you to maintain public image repos for free. To push Docker images to your Docker Hub account, you’ll need to name your images with namespace matching your user account’s. The easiest way would be to have the prefix of your image name match your account name.

For instance, to push the fortune-whalesay image to Docker Hub with account name leocc, rename it to leocc/fortune-whalesay:

# Rename an image (first add a tag then remove old tag with rmi)
docker tag fortune-whalesay leocc/fortune-whalesay
docker rmi fortune-whalesay

# Push image to Docker Hub
docker login -u leocc
docker push leocc/fortune-whalesay

Finally, it’s time to try actually dockerize an app of my own and push it to Docker Hub. A Java app of a simple NIO-based Reactor server is being used here:

# Dockerize Java app NIO-Reactor

# Designate a build subdirectory and copy Java source code
cd ~/projects/docker/dockerbuild/
mkdir reactor
cp -p ~/projects/jstuff/reactor/src/reactor/*.java reactor/

# Create .dockerignore
vi .dockerignore
.DS_Store
.DS_Store?
._*
:wq

# Create Dockerfile
vi Dockerfile
FROM java:8
COPY . /tmp
WORKDIR /tmp
EXPOSE 9090
RUN javac reactor/*.java
RUN jar -cf reactor/nioreactor.jar reactor/*.class
CMD java -classpath reactor/nioreactor.jar reactor.Reactor
:wq

# Build image
docker build -t leocc/nioreactor .

# Test run Dockerized app
docker run -t -p 9090:9090 leocc/nioreactor

# Test the NIO Reactor server from a telnet client
telnet localhost 9090

# Push image to Docker Hub
docker login -u leocc
docker push leocc/nioreactor

The Dockerized Java app is now at Docker Hub. Now that it’s in the cloud, you may remove the the local image and associated containers as described earlier. When you want to download and run it later, simply issue the docker run command.

My brief experience of exploring Docker’s basics has been positive. If you’re familiar with Linux and GitHub, picking up the commands for various tasks in Docker comes natural. As to the native Docker for Mac app, even though it’s still in beta it executes every command reliably as advertised.

Akka Persistence Journal Using Redis

1 Reply

If you’ve used Lightbend’s Scala-Akka templates that involve persisting Akka actor states, you’ll notice that LevelDB is usually configured as the default storage medium for persistence journals (and snapshots). In many of these templates, a shared LevelDB journal is shared by multiple actor systems. As reminded by the template documentation as well as code-level comments, such setup isn’t suitable for production systems.

Thanks to the prospering Akka user community which maintains a good list of journal plugins you could pick from to suit your specific needs. Journal choices include Cassandra, HBase, Redis, PostgreSQL and others. In this blog post, I’m going to highlight how to set up Akka persistent journal using a plugin for Redis, which is one of the most popular open-source key-value stores.

Redis client for Scala

First thing first, you’ll need a Redis server running on a server node you want your actor systems to connect to. If you haven’t already had one, download the server from Redis website and install it on a designated server host. The installation should include a command-line interface tool, redis-cli, that comes in handy for ad-hoc data update/lookup.

Next, you need a Redis client for Scala, Rediscala, which is a non-blocking Redis driver that wraps Redis requests/responses in Futures. To include the Rediscala in the application, simply specify it as a library dependency in build.sbt.

Redis journal plugin

The Redis journal plugin is from Hootsuite. Similar to how Rediscala is set up in build.sbt, you can add the dependency for the Redis journal plugin. To tell sbt where to locate the Ivy repo for the journal plugin, you’ll also need to add a resolver as well. The build.sbt content should look something like the following:

....
resolvers += Resolver.jcenterRepo

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  ...
  "com.github.etaty" %% "rediscala" % "1.6.0",
  "com.hootsuite" %% "akka-persistence-redis" % "0.4.0",
  ...
)

Alternatively, rather than specifying them as dependencies you can clone the git repos for the Redis client and journal plugin, use sbt to generate a jar file for each of them, and include them in your application library (e.g. under /activator-project-root/lib/).

Application configurations

Now that the library dependency setup for Redis journal and Redis client is taken care of, next in line is to update the configuration information in application.conf to replace LevelDB with Redis.

Besides Akka related configuration, the Redis host and port information is specified in the configuration file. The Redis journal plugin has the RedisJournal class that extends trait DefaultRedisComponent, which in turn reads the Redis host/port information from the configuration file and overrides the default host/port (localhost/6379) in the RedisClient case class within Rediscala.

As for the Akka persistence configuration, simply remove all LevelDB related lines in the configuration file and add the Redis persistence journal (and snapshot) plugin information. The application.conf content now looks like the following:

# Redis configuration
redis {
  host = "localhost"
  port = 6379
}

# Akka configuration
akka {
  ...
  persistence {
    journal.plugin = "akka-persistence-redis.journal"
    snapshot-store.plugin = "akka-persistence-redis.snapshot"
  }
}

# Config for the plugin
akka-persistence-redis {
  journal {
    # class name of the plugin
    class = "com.hootsuite.akka.persistence.redis.journal.RedisJournal"
    # Dispatcher for fetching and replaying messages
    replay-dispatcher = "akka.persistence.dispatchers.default-replay-dispatcher"
    }

  snapshot {
    # Class name of the plugin
    class = "com.hootsuite.akka.persistence.redis.snapshot.RedisSnapshotStore"
    # Dispatcher for the plugin actor.
    plugin-dispatcher = "akka.persistence.dispatchers.default-plugin-dispatcher"
    snapshot-interval = 3600 s
  }
}

Onto the application source code

That’s all the configuration changes needed for using Redis persistence journal. To retire LevelDB as the journal store from within the application, you can simply remove all code and imports that reference LevelDB for journal/snapshot setup. Any existing code logic you’ve developed to persist for LevelDB should now be applied to the Redis journal without changes.

In other words, this LevelDB to Redis journal migration is almost entirely a configurative effort. For general-purpose persistence of actor states, Akka’s persist method abstracts you from having to directly deal with Redis-specific interactions. Tracing the source code of Akka’s PersistentActor.scala, persist method is defined as follows:

  ...
  trait PersistentActor extends Eventsourced with PersistenceIdentity {
    ...
    def persist[A](event: A)(handler: A => Unit): Unit = {
      internalPersist(event)(handler)
    }
    ...
  }
  ...

For instance, a typical persist snippet might look like the following:

  ...
  case work: Work =>
    ...
    persist(WorkAccepted(work)) { event =>
      sender() ! Master.Ack(work.workId)
      workState = workState.updated(event)
    }
  ...

In essence, as long as actor states are persisted with the proper method signature, any journal store specific interactions will be taken care of by the corresponding journal plugin.

Internet-of-Things And Akka Actors

2 Replies

IoT (Internet of Things) has recently been one of the most popular buzzwords. Despite being over-hyped, we’re indeed heading towards a foreseeable world in which all sorts of things are inter-connected. Before IoT became a hot acronym, I was heavily involved in building a Home-Area-Network SaaS platform over the course of 5 years in a previous startup I cofounded, so it’s no stranger to me.

At the low-level device network layer, there used to be platform service companies providing gateway hardware along with proprietary APIs for IoT devices running on sensor network protocols (such as ZigBee, Z-Wave). The landscape has been evolving over the past couple of years. As more and more companies begin to throw their weight behind building products in the IoT ecosystem, open standards for device connectivity emerge. One of them is MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport).

Message Queue Telemetry Transport

MQTT had been relatively little-known until it was standardized at OASIS a couple of years ago. The lightweight publish-subscribe messaging protocol, MQTT, has since been increasingly adopted by major players, including Amazon, as the underlying connectivity protocols for IoT devices. It’s TCP/IP based but its variant, MQTT-SN (MQTT for Sensor Networks), covers sensor network communication protocols such as ZigBee. There are also quite a few MQTT message brokers, including HiveMQ, Mosquitto and RabbitMQ.

IoT makes a great use case for Akka actor systems which come with lightweight loosely-coupled actors in decentralized clusters with robust routing, sharding and pub-sub features, as mentioned in a previous blog post. The actor model can be rather easily structured to emulate the operations of a typical IoT network that scales in device volume. In addition, availability of MQTT clients for Akka such as Paho-Akka makes it easy to communicate with MQTT brokers.

A Scala-based IoT application

UPDATE: An expanded version of this application with individual actors representing each of the IoT devices, each of which maintains its own internal state and setting, is now available. Please see the Akka Actors IoT v.2 blog post for details.

In this blog post, I’m going to illustrate how to build a scalable distributed worker system using Akka actors to service requests from a MQTT-based IoT system. A good portion of the Akka clustering setup is derived from Lightbend’s Akka distributed workers template. Below is a diagram of the application:

As shown in the diagram, the application consists of the following components:

1. IoT

A DeviceRequest actor which:
- simulates work requests from IoT devices
- publishes requests to a MQTT pub-sub topic
- re-publishes requests upon receiving failure messages from a topic subscriber
An IotAgent actor which:
- subscribes to the mqtt-topic for the work requests
- sends received work requests via ClusterClient to the master cluster
- sends DeviceRequest actor a failure message upon receiving failure messages from Master actor
A MQTT pub-sub client, MqttPubSub, for communicating with a MQTT broker
A configuration helper object, MqttConfig, consisting of:
- MQTT pub-sub topic
- URL for the MQTT broker
- Serialization methods to convert objects to byte arrays, and vice versa

2. Master Cluster

A fault-tolerant decentralized cluster which:
- manages a singleton actor instance among the cluster nodes (with a specified role)
- delegates ClusterClientReceptionist on every node to answer external connection requests
- provides fail-over of the singleton actor to the next-oldest node in the cluster
A Master singleton actor which:
- registers Workers and distributes work to available Workers
- acknowledges work request reception with IotAgent
- publishes work results to a work-results topic via Akka distributed pub-sub
- maintains work states using persistence journal
A PostProcessor actor in the master cluster which:
- simulates post-processing of the work results
- subscribes to the work-results topic

3. Workers

An actor system of Workers each of which:
- communicates via ClusterClient with the master cluster
- registers with, pulls work from the Master actor
- reports work status with the Master actor
- instantiates a WorkProcessor actor to perform the actual work
WorkProcessor actors which process the work requests

Source code is available at GitHub.

A few notes:

Neither IotAgent nor Worker actor system is a part of the master cluster, hence both need to communicate with the Master via ClusterClient.
Rather than having the Master actor spawn child Workers and push work over, the Workers are set up to register with the Master and pull work from it – a model similar to what Derek Wyatt advocated in his post.
Paho-Akka is used as the MQTT pub-sub client with configuration information held within the helper object, MqttConfig.
The helper object MqttConfig consists of MQTT pub-sub topic/broker information and methods to serialize/deserialize the Work objects which, in turn, contains Device objects. The explicit serializations are necessary since multiple JVMs will be at play if one launches the master cluster, IoT and worker actor systems on separate JVMs.
The test Mosquitto broker at tcp://test.mosquitto.org:1883 serves as the MQTT broker. An alternative is to install a MQTT broker (Mosquitto, HiveMQ, etc) local to the IoT network.
The IotAgent uses Actor’s ask method (?), instead of the fire-and-forget tell method (!), to confirm message receipt by the Master via a Future return. If the receipt confirmation is not so important, using the tell method will be a much preferred choice for performance.
This is primarily a proof-of-concept application of IoT using Akka actors, hence code performance optimization isn’t a priority. In addition, for production systems, a production-grade persistence journal (e.g. Redis, Cassandra) should be used and multiple-Master via sharding could be considered.

Test-running

Similar to how you would test-run Lightbend’s distributed workers template, you may open up separate command line terminals and run the different components on separate JVMs, adding and killing the launched components to observe how the systems scale out, fail over, persist work states, etc. Here’s an example of test-run sequence:

Launch the master cluster seed node with persistence journal:
<project-root>/bin/activator "runMain worker.Main 2551"

Launch the IotAgent-DeviceRequest node:
<project-root>/bin/activator "runMain worker.Main 3001"

Launch additional master cluster seed node:
<project-root>/bin/activator "runMain worker.Main 2552"

Launch the Worker node:
<project-root>/bin/activator "runMain worker.Main 0"

Launch additional Worker node:
<project-root>/bin/activator "runMain worker.Main 0"

Below are some sample console output.

Console Output: Master seed node with persistence journal:
