Sample code to deploy docker container on Jelastic

Question

Can anyone provide sample code to deploy docker container on Jelastic? I was reading Jelastic official API document, it looks like this piece of information is missing.

Many thanks!

Hello John, please, could you clarify about what official API document you are saying about? — leo
John, can you describe your use case in details? Docker part is still not covered very well in documentation, but I believe we can help. — Ruslan
Dear leo and @Ruslan, this is what I want to do: 1. in Jelastic admin panel, click on "Change Environment Topology" 2. Click on "Docker" Tab 3. Add a docker container 4. Go to "Custom" tab and use image in my private repository. How can do it programmatically? Where I can find sample code? — J John
@ruslan, I just sent an email to Jelastic and I had to I am shocked when I know who you are :) , basically we want to automatically deploy our docker container using our custom image on Jelastic, if you can provide us some sample code or guidance it will be highly appreciated! — J John

This is a sample of the creating new environment using bash:

#!/bin/bash

hoster_api_url='app.cloudplatform.hk'
platform_app_id='77047754c838ee6badea32b5afab1882'
email=''
password=''
docker_image='tutum/wordpress'
docker_tag='latest'
env_name='testenv-'$(((RANDOM % 10000) + 1))

WORK_DIR=$(dirname $0)
LOG="$WORK_DIR/$hoster_api_url.log"

log() {
    echo -e "\n$@" >>"$LOG"
}

login() {
    SESSION=$(curl -s "http://$hoster_api_url/1.0/users/authentication/rest/signin?appid=$platform_app_id&login=$email&password=$password" | \
        sed -r 's/^.*"session":"([^"]+)".*$/\1/')
    [ -n "$SESSION" ] || {
        log "Failed to login with credentials supplied"
        exit 0
    }
}

create_environment() {
    log "=============================== START CREATING $env_name | $(date +%d.%m.%y_%H-%M-%S) ==============================="

        request='nodes=[{"nodeType":"docker","extip":false,"count":1,"fixedCloudlets":1,"flexibleCloudlets":16,"fakeId":-1,"dockerName":"'$docker_image'","dockerTag":"'$docker_tag'","displayName":"'$docker_image':'$docker_tag'","metadata":{"layer":"cp"}}]&env={"pricingType":"HYBRID","region":"default_region","shortdomain":"'$env_name'"}&actionkey=createenv;'$env_name'&appid='$platform_app_id'&session='$SESSION

        log "$request"

        curl -s -X POST --data $request "https://$hoster_api_url/1.0/environment/environment/rest/createenvironment" >> "$LOG"

    log "=============================== STOP CREATING $env_name | $(date +%d.%m.%y_%H-%M-%S) ==============================="
}
