Dockerfiles and scripts to run Apache Spark on Docker:

• a DNS server
• a Spark master
• 1+ Spark slaves

Start the DNS server:

$ cd nameserver
$ docker build .
...
Successfully built 29d54e4ca76d
$ docker run --name nameserver --rm -ti -P -v /tmp/dnsmasq.d:/opt/docker/dnsmasq.d 29d54e4ca76d
===> IP of the Nameserver: 172.17.0.60
...

Start the Spark master (reusing the IP from the DNS server):

$ cd master
$ docker build .
...
Successfully built c2d6e585107c
$ docker run --name spark_master --rm -ti -p 8080:8080 --dns 172.17.0.60 --volumes-from=nameserver c2d6e585107c
===> IP of the Master: 172.17.0.47
...

Start one or more Spark slaves (still reusing the IP from the DNS server):

$ cd slave
$ docker build .
...
Successfully built 61f5df841bbc
$ docker run --rm -ti --dns 172.17.0.60 --volumes-from=nameserver 61f5df841bbc
