Docker and Beaker (Puppet Testing)

Sooo... we've historically been very bad about testing our puppet stuff.
We don't really do module level testing.
We manually do end-to-end testing.  I guess its been 'good enough' so far...although tedious.

Anyways, I thought we should chart some new territory and attempt to use Beaker to some degree.

Beaker Wiki: link

Anyways...turns out they support Docker.
I thought, yay, finally an excuse to play with Docker a bit.

Turns out it was a pain in the ass to setup though.

1. Get the Ubuntu 14 vagrant box:
   https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64
    
2. SSH into that box
    
3. Install Beaker on that box
   https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker/wiki/Beaker-Installation#installing-beaker
    
4. Install Docker on that box
   https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/
    
5. Create a 'beaker hosts config file' on that box
   example file:  "beaker_hosts.cfg"
   
   HOSTS:
     ubuntu-12-10:
       platform: ubuntu-12.10-x64
       image: modified_ubuntu
       hypervisor: docker
   CONFIG:
     type: foss

6. Do a simple 'docker run' to get docker to download the Ubuntu Container Image:
   sudo docker run ubuntu:12.10 /bin/echo 'shit'
    
7. Modify the Ubuntu Container Image by installing 'ssh' onto it:
   sudo docker run ubuntu:12.10 apt-get install -y ssh
    
8. Find the 'container id' after the previous step finishes.
   sudo docker ps -l
    
9. Commit the changes to the container
   sudo docker commit someFriggingUglyContainerId modified_ubuntu
    
10. Confirm that 'ssh' is installed:
    a) open an interactive session with the new container thingy:
    sudo docker run -i -t modified_ubuntu /bin/bash
    b) start the 'ssh' service on the new container thingy:
    service ssh start
    c) quit the new container thingy:
    exit
     
11. Run beaker on the VM !!
    sudo beaker --log-level debug --hosts beaker_hosts.cfg
    
12. Happy Dance.

The following images MAY have differently named files/settings... so just use your brain:
