> There are two ways to run current akka in docker containers. If you run all containers on the same host, then akka containers can talk with each other using container local addresses. Another way is to start containers with --net=host flag, which breaks network containerization but allows containers to talk to each other using the host address.
There is a more complicated multi-host solution that doesn't require --net=host. If you run something like SkyDNS on each host, you can use the --dns and --link flags to have your Akka container use SkyDNS as its DNS server. Then, you have Akka bind to whatever logical hostname you want, which will be the same as the hostname of the container Akka is running in. Finally, have SkyDNS resolve that hostname to the IP of the host containers are running on. Akka links to a SkyDNS container, SkyDNS maps hostnames of Akka containers to host IPs => Akka can address other Akka nodes by hostname across multiple hosts. This is what we're doing in production. I'm working on a writeup which I will hopefully have up in a few weeks (I know I've said that before ;)) On Saturday, November 15, 2014 10:04:13 AM UTC-8, Martynas Mickevičius wrote: > > Hi Brandon, > > Akka 2.3.x branch gets only bug and performance fixes.
