The Docker Container for Light Developer Edition does not support upgrades and not entitled to IBM support. Each new version requires deployment of new container.

Limitations

Docker installations are limited to 3 monitored devices.
Docker installations are limited to 7 days. After 7 days, you will be redirected to a license page where a license request key can be generated.

Installation

Image Download and Installation

Download the desired DPOD Docker image from IBM Docker Hub or from IBM's Fix Central

  1. Specific version: datapower-operations-dashboard:<version number>. For example: datapower-operations-dashboard:1.0.9.0
  2. Latest version: datapower-operations-dashboard:latest

Image Installation

There are two options for installing DPOD Docker image on you local image repository:

...

This is how the result should look like:

Enable Firewall Rules (CentOS/Ubuntu only)

If needed enable firewall rules for allowing DataPower access to DPOD Docker container agents (syslog on port 60000 and wsm on port 60020 ) :

...

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
sudo iptables-save

Create a new Docker container

Use the following command to create a DPOD Docker container:

...

  • The file /etc/localtime should be shared with the container: copy the file located on /etc/localtime to the user directory usually located at /Users/<user name>.
    If you choose to copy the file to another directory make sure to add it to the Docker File Sharing (Docker preferences whale
menu -> Preferences -> File sharing).

Example of Docker run command for MacOS:

...

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
docker ps


Access the DPOD container

  • Web Console - From your web browser use the container IP address, or more likely your Docker host IP address mapped to the Web Console port (443 in the example) : https://<IP address>.
    user : admin and default password : adminuser
  • SSH - Use the container IP address, or more likely your Docker host IP address mapped to the ssh port (9022 in the example) .
    user : root and default password : dpod

Re-run Previously Created DPOD Docker Container

Note
Make sure to replace DPOD_EXT_HOST_IP parameter value (currently provided as "<Host IP Address>") in the command below with the IP Address of the host machine that runs the Docker containers.

...

It may take up to 10 minutes for the application to start.

Review License Agreement

For reviewing the license agreement execute the following command. The command can be executed in any stage as long as the container is running.
