The Docker Container for Light Developer Edition is a lightweight Developer Edition (previously known as Light Edition) designated mainly for developers.
It is geared towards the DataPower developer that wants to run DPOD on their development workstation, in the context of limited functionality.
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.
Send the license request key to an IBM representative to get your license (the representative's email address will appear on screen).

Software and Hardware Prerequisites

Software

The Docker Container for Light Developer Edition has been tested only on:

Make sure to configure your Docker installation as recommended in Docker Compatibility Matrix, especially make sure to use the recommended storage driver.

Hardware

  1. At least 2GB of disk space that can grow up to 4GB.
  2. At least 3GB of free memory.
  3. At least 4 Cores of Intel based CPUs.

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:

  1. Use the Docker pull command:

    docker pull ibmcom/datapower-operations-dashboard:latest


  2. Manual load: after downloading the desired images to your Docker host use the load command:

    docker load < /tmp/DPOD-Developer-Docker-1.0.9.tgz


Use the following command to display your local image repository:

docker images

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 ) :

sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 60000 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 60020 -j ACCEPT

save the configuration :

sudo iptables-save

Create a new Docker container

Use the following command to create a DPOD Docker container:

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.


docker run -d \
   --security-opt seccomp:unconfined \
   --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
   --tmpfs /tmp:exec \
   --tmpfs /run \
   --tmpfs /run/lock \
   -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
   -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
   -p 9022:22 \
   -p 443:443 \
   -p 60000:60000 \
   -p 60020:60020 \
   --stop-timeout 10 \
   --hostname dpod \
   --name dpod \
   datapower-operations-dashboard:latest && docker exec -d -u root dpod /bin/su - -c "export ACCEPT_LICENSE=true; export TIME_ZONE=America/New_York; export DPOD_EXT_HOST_IP=<Host IP Address>; /app/scripts/app-init.sh"

Notes:

Ports: the container should expose the following ports:


Special Considerations for Apple MacOS

Example of Docker run command for MacOS:

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.

Make sure to replace <User Directory> in the command bellow with the full path of the directory that /etc/localtime was copied to.


docker run -d \
   --security-opt seccomp:unconfined \
   --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
   --tmpfs /tmp:exec \
   --tmpfs /run \
   --tmpfs /run/lock \
   -v <User Directory>/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
   -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
   -p 9022:22 \
   -p 443:443 \
   -p 60000:60000 \
   -p 60020:60020 \
   --stop-timeout 10 \
   --hostname dpod \
   --name dpod \
   datapower-operations-dashboard:latest && docker exec -d -u root dpod /bin/su - -c "export ACCEPT_LICENSE=true; export TIME_ZONE=America/New_York; export DPOD_EXT_HOST_IP=<Host IP Address>; /app/scripts/app-init.sh"


Important:

Run the Docker exec command in order to apply your specific Docker environment. The command could be run in any point of time after creating and running the Docker container.

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

The following environment variables can be used when invoking the command:


Use the following command to display running docker containers:

docker ps


Access the DPOD container

Re-run Previously Created DPOD Docker Container

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.


docker start dpod  && docker exec -d -u root dpod /bin/su - -c "export ACCEPT_LICENSE=true; export TIME_ZONE=America/New_York; export DPOD_EXT_HOST_IP=<Host IP Address>; /app/scripts/app-init.sh"

Note : Run the Docker exec command in order to apply your specific Docker environment. The command could be run in any point of time after creating and running the Docker container.

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.

docker exec -t -u root dpod /bin/su - -c "export SHOW_LICENSE=true; /app/scripts/app-init.sh"
