Randall Burt 0583740cd4 Allow docker plugin to run w/o deps The docker plugin tests would not run without the docker lib being installed even though the client was mocked in the tests. This patch adds conditional import of the client and registration of the plugin so that the contrib tests can be run in the gates without having to hack requirements or add more third party libs.

Docker plugin for OpenStack Heat

This plugin enable using Docker containers as resources in a Heat template.

1. Install the Docker plugin in Heat

NOTE: Heat scans several directories to find plugins. The list of directories is specified in the configuration file "heat.conf" with the "plugin_dirs" directive.

Running the following commands will install the Docker plugin in an existing Heat setup.

pip install -r requirements.txt
ln -sf $(cd heat/contrib/docker-plugin/plugin; pwd) /usr/lib/heat/docker
echo "plugin_dirs=$(cd heat/contrib/docker-plugin/plugin; pwd)" > /etc/heat/heat.conf

NOTE: If you already have plugins enabled, you should not run the last command and instead edit the config file "/etc/heat/heat.conf" manually.

2. Restart heat

Only the process "heat-engine" needs to be restarted to load the new installed plugin.
