Get disk usage for all the containers with python script

With my increasing love for python, here is my attempt to get the disk usage of all the containers on some host. Well, since the requirements vary for everyone, so this script is far from complete.

import docker
import json

# We will connect to 192.168.122.1 for docker daemon. If that is not the case,
# then change the below.

client = docker.DockerClient(base_url="tcp://192.168.122.1:4243")

# Get list of all containers.
cls=client.containers.list()
stats={}

# And now we will iterate over that list to get stats for all the containers.
for val in cls:
    print (val.name)
    stats[val.name] = val.stats(stream=False)
    # Get the disk usage for root and /tmp from containers with docker.exec
    stats[val.name]['df-root'] = ( str(val.exec_run(r'df -kh --output="size,used,avail,pcent" /', stream=False).splitlines()[1]).replace("'","").split()[1:] )
    stats[val.name]['df-tmp'] = ( str((val.exec_run(r'df -kh --output="size,used,avail,pcent" /tmp ', stream=False).splitlines()[1:]+[''])[0]).replace("'","").split()[1:] )

# Now if you want, we have dict of all the data and we can process the
# way we like it, for example create a html table for disk usage only.
print ('<table>')
for st in stats:
    print ('<tr>')
    print ("<td>Root-%s</td>"%(st))
    for i in stats[st]['df-root']:
        print ('<td>%s</td>'%(i) )
    print ('</tr>')
    print ('<tr>')
    print ("<td>tmp-%s</td>"%(st))
    for i in stats[st]['df-tmp']:
        print ('<td>%s</td>'%(i) )
    print ('</tr>')

print ('</table>')

ansible with docker dynamic inventory

So, I have a few dockers. Every now and then I want to run some command on all of them. Doing ‘docker exec’ is tiresome. I found this neat solution with ansible that I thought I should share with you.

To get started, you need to have the “docker.py” script. This script will be used as python script inventory for ansible. So, use the following command and get the script:

cups web interface.

Today I found an interesting piece of information. I was trying to debug a problem with the cups service and found that cups offers a web administration.brbrThe server is running at port 631. So point your browser to browser with <a href="http://localhost:631">link and happy digging.

Managing your remote site locally – sitecopy.

If you are managing a remote site, web server that you do not have direct access to (terminal or ssh) and you have to do it with cpanel, then I know how much pain it is. I had the same issue until recently when I discovered <a href="http://http://www.manyfish.co.uk/sitecopy/" target="_blank">sitecopy.

Description of sitecopy:

sitecopy allows you to easily maintain remote Web sites.  The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally, and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, to keep the remote site synchronized with the local site, with a single command. sitecopy will also optionally try to spot files you move locally, and move them remotely.  FTP and WebDAV servers are supported.
