To make this happen we will need docker tooling to provide:

• ports
• env variables
• volumes

A user will 'deploy to openshift'...I think they might see portions of the 'run image..' menus that are attached but not all. The workflow would be:

• Ask user about ports, additional env besides those already provided in the image, volumes,
• Ask about # of replicas, triggers
• tag and push image to registry (tag=repo/project/stream)
  • repo is either assumed to be Dockerhub, or the route to the OS registry
• create a deploymentConfig for the selected image
• create a service for the image
• optionally create a route

Consider running oc new-app on an image to see what it generates

==================================================================
It's possible to contribute a new menu/handler to the Docker Tooling Images view.

We'd like to be able to select a Docker image from the Docker tooling view, right-click on it and the "Deploy to Openshift"

The following infos are required to actually be able to deploy the selected image onto OS:

• the local docker registry. OS will need a route to be able to access it
• the docker hub registry
• environment variables
• ports
• volumes

The docker tooling code is available at : http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git

The IDockerImage is accessible from the image view : http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git/tree/containers/org.eclipse.linuxtools.docker.core/src/org/eclipse/linuxtools/docker/core/IDockerImage.java

Currently the search image wizard is not reusable (internal package), if needed, this will require exposing it in Docker tooling for Mars SR1
