What is the simplest way to install Redis in Docker+Vagrant

Question

I would like to have a Docker container running Redis, inside a Vagrant VM. I'd like things to be as simple as they can possibly be, so minimal configuration. A little bit of research shows: - Vagrant provides a Docker provisioner - Docker provides a trusted Dockerfile for Redis So the setup should be really straight forward, I expected to just have to connect the dots. So I came up with this `Vagrantfile`: ``` VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| config.vm.box = "chef/centos-6.5" config.vm.provision "docker" do |docker| docker.run "dockerfile/redis" end end ``` Looks simple - good. Now when I run `vagrant up` I would expect: - The VM starts up. - Docker gets installed. - The Docker daemon `dockerd` is started. - The Docker container for Redis `dockerfile/redis` is downloaded and installed. - The container is started. All seems to work except step 3, since with this `Vagrantfile` I get: ``` ==> default: Verifying vmnet devices are health…

Accepted Answer

Your Vagrantfile is correct.

This seems to be an issue with the `chef/centos-6.5` box.

On this box, you have to update `device-mapper-libs` first.

I had success with this Vagrantfile:

```
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "chef/centos-6.5"

config.vm.provision "shell",
    inline: "yum update -y device-mapper-libs"

config.vm.provision "docker" do |docker|
    docker.run "redis"
  end
end
```

Inside the VM:

```
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
7d55185f859c        redis:2             "/entrypoint.sh redi   10 seconds ago      Up 9 seconds        6379/tcp            redis
```
