If you have a Fuse container deployed onto a remote host you can use that container to create more containers on the host. This saves you from needing to use ssh. It also minimizes the amount of code needed to be downloaded over the network.
The child container uses the same binaries and root folder as the parent container. The child's data is stored in a separate data folder from the root container and the other child containers spawned by the root container. While the child container uses the same underlying binary files as the root container, it runs in its own JVM.
The only limitations on a child container are:
it cannot be used to spawn child containers
it is deleted along with its parent container
To create a child container:
Select from the top menu.
The Fuse Container Instances page opens.
Click .
The Create Fuse Container wizard opens.
In the Name field, enter a name for the new container.
If you want to make the new container a registry server check Make container a distributed registry server.
![[Tip]](imagesdb/tip.gif)
Tip It is not advisable to make a child container a registry server. Registry servers should be run on separate hosts from other containers to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
If you want to be able to remotely debug the container check Enable remote debugging.
If you need to use a Maven proxy to access the repository containing your Fuse artifacts, check the Maven Proxy URL field and enter the URL for your Maven proxy.
If you want to create multiple instances of the container enter a number greater than one in the Count field.
When you create multiple containers the container's number is appended to the value specified in the Name field.
Click .
The Select profiles to install on the container page opens.
Select the version of profiles you want to use for provisioning the container.
The value of this drop down defaults to the value set on the Fuse Profiles page.
Select one or more profiles to deploy to the container.
Click .
The Select the type of container page opens.
Select Child container.
Click .
The Select a parent for the child container page opens.
Select the root container that will be the parent for the new container.
Click .
The wizard closes and the new container will appear in the list of containers. Initially the Active indicator may be red, but should turn green shortly after adding it. The Provisioned indicator may also show gray bars, but should turn green when the specified profiles are fully provisioned.
