# Docker Easy Load Balancer
Experimental _automagic_ load balancing for Docker web apps in less than 100 lines of bash.
## Initial setup
On Ubuntu 14.04 hosts, you'll need to install [libnss-resolver](https://github.com/azukiapp/libnss-resolver#installing)
and run:
```sh
apt-get install dnsmasq
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1:5353" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolver/docker.dev
```
_I suppose you are able to do something similiar when using Macs + [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/)
/ [boot2docker](http://boot2docker.io/) but I don't own a Mac to put the pieces
together, LMK if you know how to make this work over there and I'll update the docs
accordingly_
## Try it
Launch the load balancer and DNS server:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/fgrehm/docker-easy-lb.git
cd docker-easy-lb
./launch-host
```
And verify if things are working:
```
# Is DNS working?
$ ping hello.docker.dev
PING hello.docker.dev (172.17.0.175) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.17.0.175: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms

64 bytes from 172.17.0.175: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.150 ms
^C
# Can we reach the load balancer?
$ curl hello.docker.dev
