Running Rocket containers on Photon
===================================
Rocket is a new container runtime, created by [CoreOS](http://coreos.com) and designed for composability, security, and speed.
rkt (pronounced _"rock-it"_) is a CLI for running app containers, and an implementation of the [App Container Spec](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/app-container.md).
rkt is available as an optional package in Photon, to install it:
```
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
tdnf install rocket
```
### Running an App Container Image (ACI)
rkt uses content addressable storage (CAS) for storing an ACI on disk. In this example, the image is downloaded and added to the CAS.
Since rkt verifies signatures by default, you will need to first [trust](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/signing-and-verification-guide.md#establishing-trust) the [CoreOS public key](https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg) used to sign the image:
```
$ sudo rkt trust --prefix coreos.com/etcd
Prefix: "coreos.com/etcd"
Key: "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg"
GPG key fingerprint is: 8B86 DE38 890D DB72 9186 7B02 5210 BD88 8818 2190
CoreOS ACI Builder <release@coreos.com>
Are you sure you want to trust this key (yes/no)? yes
Trusting "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg" for prefix "coreos.com/etcd".
Added key for prefix "coreos.com/etcd" at "/etc/rkt/trustedkeys/prefix.d/coreos.com/etcd/8b86de38890ddb7291867b025210bd8888182190"
```
Now that we've trusted the CoreOS public key, we can bring up a simple etcd instance using the ACI format:
```
$ privateIp=$(ip -4 -o addr show eth0 | cut -d' ' -f7 | cut -d'/' -f1)
$ sudo rkt run coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.4 -- -name vmware-cna \
> -listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379 \
> -advertise-client-urls http://${privateIp}:2379 \
> -listen-peer-urls http://0.0.0.0:2380 \
> -initial-advertise-peer-urls http://${privateIp}:2380 \
> -initial-cluster vmware-cna=http://${privateIp}:2380 \
> -initial-cluster-state new
