Docker Damocles

A daemon for killing long-running docker instances. This was created as an external monitor to pair with Jenkins for long-running (likely infinite) builds that Jenkins could not time-out on its own.

Installation

1. install deps
2. Place docker-damocles in /etc/init.d/ and chmod to 755
3. Place docker_damocles.py in /usr/local/bin

$ git clone https://github.com/cheuschober/docker-damocles.git
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install docker-py logging python-daemon
$ sudo cp docker-damocles/docker-damocles /etc/init.d/
$ sudo dp docker-damocles/docker_damocles.py /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo service docker-damocles start

Usage

$ sudo service docker-damocles start
$ sudo service docker-damocles restart
$ sudo service docker-damocles stop

Warranty

There is none. You're welcome to use and abuse this as you please. Notably, it offers no external configuration outside of modifying docker_damocles.py itself but if you want to do so, it should be fairly trivial as it's still rather DRY.
