You have not indicated the errors you were experiencing.

This is the documentation for the image you're using:

• https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/mesosphere/mesos/

Mesos base Docker using the Mesosphere packages from https://mesosphere.io/downloads/. Doesn't start Mesos, please use the mesos-master and mesos-slave Dockers.

What really worried me about those images is that they were untrusted and no source was immediately available.

So I re-created your example using the mesosphere github as inspiration:

• https://github.com/mesosphere/docker-containers

Updated Example

Example updated to include the chronos framework

├── build.sh├── fig.yml├── mesos│   └── Dockerfile├── mesos-chronos│   └── Dockerfile├── mesos-master│   └── Dockerfile└── mesos-slave    └── Dockerfile

Build the base image (only has to be done once)

./build.sh

Run fig to start an instance of each service:

$ fig up -dCreating mesos_zk_1...Creating mesos_master_1...Creating mesos_slave_1...Creating mesos_chronos_1...

One useful thing about fig is that you can scale up the slaves

$ fig scale slave=5Starting mesos_slave_2...Starting mesos_slave_3...Starting mesos_slave_4...Starting mesos_slave_5...

The mesos master console should show 5 slaves running

http://localhost:15050/#/slaves

And the chronos framework should be running and ready to launch tasks

http://localhost:14400

fig.yml

zk:  image: mesos  command: /usr/share/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh start-foregroundmaster:  build: mesos-master  ports:    - "15050:5050"  links:    - "zk:zookeeper"slave:  build: mesos-slave  links:    - "zk:zookeeper"chronos:  build: mesos-chronos  ports:    - "14400:4400"  links:    - "zk:zookeeper"

Notes:

• Only single instance of zookeeper needed for this example
