codetainer allows you to create code 'sandboxes' you can embed in your
web applications (think of it like an OSS clone of codepicnic.com).
Codetainer runs as a webservice and provides APIs to create, view, and attach to the sandbox along with a nifty HTML terminal you can interact with the sandbox in realtime. It uses Docker and its introspection APIs to provide the majority of this functionality.
Codetainer is written in Go.
For more information, see the slides from a talk introduction.
- Docker >=1.8 (required for file upload API)
- Go >=1.4
- godep
# set your $GOPATH
go get github.com/codetainerapp/codetainer
# you may get errors about not compiling due to Asset missing, it's ok. bindata.go needs to be created
# by `go generate` first.
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/codetainerapp/codetainer
# make install_deps # if you need the dependencies like godep
makeThis will create ./bin/codetainer.
You must configure Docker to listen on a TCP port.
DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://127.0.0.1:4500 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
See ~/.codetainer/config.toml. This file will get auto-generated the first time you run codetainer, please edit defaults as appropriate.
# Docker API server and port
DockerServer = "localhost"
DockerPort = 4500
# Enable TLS support (optional, if you access to Docker API over HTTPS)
# DockerServerUseHttps = true
# Certificate directory path (optional)
# e.g. if you use Docker Machine: "~/.docker/machine/certs"
# DockerCertPath = "/path/to/certs"
# Database path (optional, default is ~/.codetainer/codetainer.db)
# DatabasePath = "/path/to/codetainer.db"$ sudo docker pull ubuntu:14.04
$ codetainer image register ubuntu:14.04
$ codetainer create ubuntu:14.04 my-codetainer-name
$ codetainer server # to start the API server on port 3000- Copy codetainer.js to your webapp.
- Include
codetainer.jsandjqueryin your web page. Create a div to house the codetainer terminal iframe (it's#terminalin the example below).
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script src="/javascripts/lsof.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="terminal" data-container="YOUR CODETAINER ID HERE">
</body>
</html> - Run the javascript to load the codetainer iframe from the
codetainer API server (supply
data-containeras the id of codetainer on the div, or supplycodetainerin the constructor options).
$('#terminal').codetainer({
terminalOnly: false, // set to true to show only a terminal window
url: "http://127.0.0.1:3000", // replace with codetainer server URL
container: "YOUR CONTAINER ID HERE",
width: "100%",
height: "100%",
});TODO
TODO more documentation.
You can use profiles to apply Docker configs to limit CPU, memory, network access, and more.
See example profiles for some examples of this.
Register a profile to use with codetainer using codetainer profile register <path-to-json> <name of profile>
and then supply codetainer-config-id when POST'ing to /api/v1/codetainer to create.
Codetainer is unstable and in active development.
