JMeter Distributed Environment Setup with Docker

1. Install docker and docker-compose on you server - https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sudo sh ./get-docker.sh --dry-run
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sudo sh get-docker.sh

2. Create directory structure as follows,

jmeter[main directory] ->[sub directories]jmeter-base, jmeter-master, jmeter-slave, temp, script

3. Create docker-compose.yml, start-jmeter.sh, and start-jmeter.sh files inside the jmeter main directory.

4. Start the docker-compose

docker-compose up If something happened at the midle, you can run follows docker-compose up --build

5. Disable the 'server.rmi.ssl' to ignor the ssl varification on jmeter.properties file in master and slave node/s

uncomment the #server.rmi.ssl.disable=false and enable it server.rmi.ssl.disable=true

6. Run the start-jmeter.sh file as follows

sudo sh start-jmeter.sh

7. Login to the jmeter_slave docker and start using following command

./jmeter-server

8. Copy the performance test jmx file to the master container

9. Start the jmx from master container as follows,

[jmeter_master_home/bin] nohup jmeter -n -t /scripts/[script_name].jmx -R [slave_IP/s] &
