如何从构建服务器部署/运行Docker映像

Question

Having built,run and executed tests against a docker image on a CI build server(TeamCity2017), how should we deploy it to further machines?

How, for example, if we push it to a Docker registry, would our CI server instruct the target machine to pull and run the image? Ie where it an application we would use Octopus for this deployment step, but our Octopus server doesn't support Docker deployments as yet.

Any guidance appreciated.

I would use Octo to deploy your images onto target machines. You'd need to use powershell scripts to have your machines run the images. Or you can use something like Rancher, which is a docker swarm manager. There is no feasible way to have TeamCity deploy your images. The software simply isn't built to be able to do deploys.

The Rancher solution would not be automated, at least not to my knowledge. You would have to trigger upgrades when a new image is pushed to the docker registry.
