An sbt plugin for launching application containers on the Mesosphere Marathon platform.
- sbt (0.13.5+ or 1.0.0+)
- An installation of Marathon (1.0.0+) to target
Add the following line to project/plugins.sbt
. See the Using plugins section of the sbt documentation for more information.
addSbtPlugin("com.tapad.sbt" % "sbt-marathon" % "0.2.1")
The sbt-marathon plugin provides a fluent interface to construct Marathon requests for a given application.
When communicating with Marathon's REST API, a JSON payload is required to specify the identity, properties, and constraints of your application.
Leverage sbtmarathon.adt.Request.Builder
from within your build definition to create these JSON payloads:
import sbtmarathon.adt._
marathonServiceRequest := Request.newBuilder()
.withId(marathonApplicationId.value)
.withContainer(
DockerContainer(
image = s"${dockerRegistry.value}/${organization.value}/${name.value}:${version.value}",
network = "BRIDGE"
)
.addPortMapping(containerPort = 8080, hostPort = 0, servicePort = Some(9000), protocol = "tcp")
.addVolume(containerPath = "/etc/a", hostPath = "/var/data/a", mode = "RO")
)
.withCpus(4)
.withMem(256)
.addEnv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "/usr/local/lib/myLib")
.addLabel("environment", "staging")
.build()
For more information on how to use the Request.Builder
, please refer to sbtmarathon.adt
and the AdtSpec.scala
unit test.
To use sbt-marathon in conjunction with sbt-native-packager, add the following to your project/plugins.sbt
and build.sbt
files, respectively:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-native-packager" % "1.1.1")
addSbtPlugin("com.tapad.sbt" % "sbt-marathon" % "0.2.1")
// specify the url of your Marathon service
marathonServiceUrl := "http://localhost:8080"
// specify the docker registry to which your images will be pushed
dockerRegistry := "localhost:5000"
dockerRepository in Docker := Some(dockerRegistry.value)
// build the request that will be used to start and modify your application
marathonServiceRequest := sbtmarathon.adt.Request.newBuilder()
.withId(marathonApplicationId.value)
.withContainer(
DockerContainer(
image = s"${dockerRegistry.value}/${(packageName in Docker).value}:${(version in Docker).value}",
network = "BRIDGE"
)
)
.build()
Lastly, be sure to enable both sbt-docker and sbt-marathon in your build.sbt
file:
enablePlugins(JavaAppPackaging, DockerPlugin, MarathonPlugin)
Once configured properly, the typical workflow to deploy your application on Marathon is:
- Build and push your image to the docker registry, if not already done
- Generate your Marathon API request
- Execute the request against the running Marathon server
An example workflow, run from an interactive sbt session, is presented below:
$ sbt
> docker:publish // build and push image to docker registry
> marathonServiceStart // start application on Mesos
> marathonServiceScale 5 // scale application to 5 instances
...
> marathonServiceDestroy // at some point in the future, destroy your application, shutting down all running instances
For more information, refer to the documentation provided by sbt-native-packager and the scripted integration test found at marathon/src/sbt-test/sbt-marathon/native-packager.
To use sbt-marathon in conjunction with sbt-docker, add the following to your project/plugins.sbt
and build.sbt
files, respectively:
addSbtPlugin("se.marcuslonnberg" % "sbt-docker" % "1.4.0")
addSbtPlugin("com.tapad.sbt" % "sbt-marathon" % "0.2.1")
// specify the url of your Marathon service
marathonServiceUrl := "http://localhost:8080"
// specify the docker registry to which your images will be pushed
dockerRegistry := "registry.hub.docker.com" // or a host/port pair pointing to your.private.registry:5000
// specify the image name for your application
imageNames in docker += ImageName(
registry = Some(dockerRegistry.value),
namespace = Some(organization.value),
repository = name.value.toLowerCase,
tag = Some(version.value)
)
// optionally define a mainClass (if necessary for your application's entrypoint)
mainClass in docker := (mainClass in Compile).value
// build the Dockerfile for your application, using sbt-docker's fluent interface
dockerfile in docker := {
(mainClass in docker).value match {
case None => sys.error("A main class is not defined. Please declare a value for the `mainClass` setting.")
case Some(mainClass) =>
ImmutableDockerfile.empty
.from("java")
.add((fullClasspath in Compile).value.files, "/app/")
.entryPoint("java", "-cp", "/app:/app/*", mainClass, "$@")
}
}
// build the request that will be used to start and modify your application
marathonServiceRequest := sbtmarathon.adt.Request.newBuilder()
.withId(marathonApplicationId.value)
.withContainer(
DockerContainer(
image = s"${dockerRegistry.value}/${organization.value}/${name.value}:${version.value}",
network = "BRIDGE"
)
)
.build()

The twirl templating engine can be leveraged to help author Marathon requests by using the sbt-marathon-templating plugin.
NOTE: If using sbt 1.0.x, sbt-twirl requires that you use sbt version 1.0.1 or greater due to the Append
instance backwards compatibility issue addressed in the release notes.
Add the following lines to project/plugins.sbt
.
addSbtPlugin("com.tapad.sbt" % "sbt-marathon" % "0.2.1")
addSbtPlugin("com.tapad.sbt" % "sbt-marathon-templating" % "0.2.1")
Create a twirl template in the location specifed by templating:sourceDirectory
. By default, this location will be the templates
subdirectory inside of your project's resources directory (e.g. src/main/resources/templates
).
For the following example, a template with the file name marathon_request.scala.json
has been added to src/main/resources/templates/marathon_request.scala.json
. Its contents are:
@(appId: String, instances: Int, cmd: Option[String], cpus: Double, mem: Double, requirePorts: Boolean)
{
"id": "@appId",
"instances": @instances,
"cmd": "@{cmd.getOrElse("sleep 1")}",
"cpus": @cpus,
"mem": @mem,
"portDefinitions": [
{ "port": 9000,
"protocol": "tcp",
"name": "admin"
}
],
"requirePorts": @requirePorts
}
In your build.sbt
file, specify the location of this template and the parameters to pass to it:
marathonTemplates += Template(
file = (sourceDirectory in Templating).value / "marathon_request.scala.json",
driver = new {
val appId = marathonApplicationId.value
val instances = 5
val cmd = (mainClass in (Compile, run)).value
val cpus = 4.0
val mem = 256.0
val requirePorts = false
}
)
Ensure that the marathonServiceRequest
task depends on and utilizes the output of the evaluated template:
marathonServiceRequest := {
val _ = marathonEvaluateTemplates.value
IO.read((target in Templating).value / "marathon_request.json")
}
Lastly, be sure to enable both sbt-marathon and sbt-marathon-templating in your build.sbt
file:
enablePlugins(MarathonPlugin, TemplatingPlugin)
When the marathonServiceRequest
and/or marathonEvaluateTemplates
tasks are executed, the result from evaluating this template will be placed in templating:target
, which by default, will be the generated
subdirectory of your project's resources directory (e.g. src/main/resources/generated
).
The values for the settings provided by sbt-marathon-templating, given a default build definition, can be found in the table below:
Setting key (scope:name) | Default value |
---|---|
templating:sourceDirectory | src/main/resources/templates |
templating:target | src/main/resources/generated |
These can be customized to suit your project's structure.
sbt-marathon-templating need not only be used for templating Marathon API requests. It is possible to template any type of resource and evaluate it for inclusion in a Docker image, for instance. This is a handy way of injecting information about your project and your project's build definition into your containers and their constituent components.
For example, given a (templated) shell script that will live alongside our application, which needs to access to project metadata:
@(appName: String, appVersion: String, appDependencies: Seq[String])
#!/bin/bash
usage() {
echo "usage: $(basename "$0") [-h|-v|--dependencies]"
}
print_version() {
echo "@{appName} @{appVersion}"
}
print_dependencies() {
echo "@{appName} dependencies:"
@for(dependency <- appDependencies) {
echo "@{dependency}"
}
}
for arg in "$@@"
do
argi=$((argi + 1))
next=${args[argi]}
case $arg in
-h)
usage
;;
-v)
print_version
;;
--dependencies)
print_dependencies
;;
*)
echo 'Unknown option'
usage
exit 1
esac
done
We can adjust our build accordingly so that this template will be evaluated and the generated resource will be available for inclusion in a Docker image:
// ensure that twirl will evaluate `scala.sh` templates
TwirlKeys.templateFormats += "sh" -> "play.twirl.api.TxtFormat"
// add the trivial_script.scala.sh template to our list of templates that will be evaluated
marathonTemplates += Template(
file = (sourceDirectory in Templating).value / "trivial_script.scala.sh",
driver = new {
val appName = name.value
val appVersion = version.value
val appDependencies = allDependencies.value.map(_.toString)
}
)
The generated resource will appear in templating:target
after evaluating templates via the marathonEvaluateTemplates
task.
Leverage the generated resource, by referencing its non-template file name in the templating:target
directory.
To add the resource to your Docker image (using sbt-docker), for instance:
dockerfile in docker := {
(mainClass in docker).value match {
case None => sys.error("A main class is not defined. Please declare a value for the `mainClass` setting.")
case Some(mainClass) =>
ImmutableDockerfile.empty
.from("java")
.add((target in Templating).value / "trivial_script.sh", "/bin/")
.add((fullClasspath in Compile).value.files, "/app/")
.entryPoint("java", "-cp", "/app:/app/*", mainClass, "$@")
}
}

An sbt plugin and underlying service interface used to deploy (i.e. start, destroy, update, restart, and scale) applications on Marathon.
An sbt plugin that provides the capability to template a Marathon request using twirl.
Supporting library code leveraged by the templating plugin.
Supporting library code and common abstractions.
Although unit tests exist, the main features and functionality of sbt-marathon
and sbt-marathon-templating
are tested using sbt's scripted-plugin
. scripted
tests exist in the src/sbt-test
directories of the sbt-marathon
and sbt-marathon-templating
subprojects.
To run these tests, issue scripted
from an sbt session after targeting either of these subprojects:
$ sbt
> project marathon
> scripted
> project templating
> scripted
To selectively run a single scripted
test suite, issue scripted <name of plugin>/<name of test project>
. e.g. scripted sbt-marathon/simple
.
Please note that publishLocal
will be invoked when running scripted
. scripted
tests take longer to run than unit tests and will log myriad output to stdout. Also note that any output written to stderr during the execution of a scripted
test will result in ERROR
level log entries. These log entries will not effect the resulting status of the actual test.
Additionally, certain tests are tagged with ScalaTest tags and will be excluded when running the sbt test
task.
To execute these tagged tests, you can manually lift their exclusions in an interactive sbt session:
$ sbt
> project marathon
> set testOptions in Test := Seq.empty
You can also reinstate their exclusion in the same session, if desired:
> set testOptions in Test += Tests.Argument("-l", "sbtmarathon.FunctionalTest")
Manually lifting this exclusion is not a permanent change. Any reload of the build configuration will reinstate the project's default exclusions.
