## Installation

Please see the Foreman manual for appropriate instructions:

* [Foreman: How to Install a Plugin](http://theforeman.org/manuals/latest/index.html#6.1InstallaPlugin)

### Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux (rpm)

Set up the repo as explained in the link above, then run

    # yum install ruby193-rubygem-foreman_docker

### Debian, Ubuntu (deb)

Set up the repo as explained in the link above, then run

    # apt-get install ruby-foreman-docker

### Bundle (gem)

Add the following to bundler.d/Gemfile.local.rb in your Foreman installation directory (/usr/share/foreman by default)

    $ gem 'foreman_docker'

Then run `bundle install` and `foreman-rake db:migrate` from the same directory

--------------

To verify that the installation was successful, go to Foreman, top bar **Administer > About** and check 'foreman_docker' shows up in the **System Status** menu under the Plugins tab. You should also see a **'Containers'** button show up in the top bar, similar to this

## Configuration

Go to **Infrastructure > Compute Resources** and click on "New Compute Resource".

Choose the **Docker provider**, and fill in all the fields. User name, password, and email are used so that Docker clients such as Foreman can make the host download images from the Docker hub. Your password will be encrypted in the database.

That's it. You're now ready to create and manage containers in your new Docker compute resource.

## How to contribute?

Generally, follow the [Foreman guidelines](http://theforeman.org/contribute.html). For code-related contributions, fork this project and send a pull request with all changes. Some things to keep in mind:

* Code from the master branch can contain features only present in [Fog's](http://github.com/fog/fog) master branch, we commit to wait for the next Fog release to put that code in a foreman-docker release.

* [Follow the rules](http://theforeman.org/contribute.html#SubmitPatches) about commit message style and create a Redmine issue. Doing this right will help reviewers to get your contribution merged faster.

* [Rubocop](https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop) will analyze your code, you can run it locally with `rake rubocop`.

* All of our pull requests run the full test suite in our [Jenkins CI system](http://ci.theforeman.org/). Please include tests in your pull requests for any additions or changes in functionality

### Testing

Run `rake test:docker` from your Foreman directory to run the test suite.
