Building the image

Overview

TIBCO EBX® Container Edition image is Linux based and includes the following:

Requirement

The image can be built on a POSIX native system or using a compatible layer:

Building the image

Download installers

To build an EBX® image, one needs to download file TIB_ebx_6.1.2_addon_6.1.X_container_edition.zip from TIBCO eDelivery.

Running the interactive installer

To start installer on Linux or macOS :

To start installer on Windows :

Follow instructions and select addons to be added to the image.

The installer will then build the image and print a summary similar to:

**********************************************************************************************
The TIBCO EBX Container Edition image was successfully created with following names:
 ebx:latest
 ebx:6.1.2-dama-dint-dmdv-dpra-mame-tese-6.1.X
This image includes the following addon(s):
 Digital Asset Manager (DAMA)
 Data Exchange (New) (DINT)
 Data Model and Data Visualization (DMDV)
 Insight (New) (DPRA)
 Match and Merge (MAME)
 Information Search (TESE)
To run this image with the default configuration and an embedded database, use command:
 docker run -p 8080:8080 -d ebx:latest
You can test EBX by visiting http://localhost:8080 in a browser.
To run this image with other configurations, for example with an external database, see
documentation.
**********************************************************************************************

Running the batch installer

To start batch installer on Linux or macOS : 

Batch script to build image with optionally addon(s).

  -a             add all addons
  -t <tag_file>  create a file named tag_file including the image tag built
  --help         display this help and exit

  [addon]...     add specific addons (separate by a space)
                 for sample: mame tese

To start batch installer on Windows :

The batch installer will then build the image and print a summary identical to the interactive installer.

Testing the image

The image can be run locally using command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -d ebx:latest

In production , it is recommended to not use tag latest . The installer will always generate another tag depending on selected addons.

If previous sample, the tag is 6.1.2-dama-dint-dmdv-dpra-mame-tese-6.1.X because the following addons where selected:

The image can then be run using command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -d ebx:6.1.2-dama-dint-dmdv-dpra-mame-tese-6.1.X

If no addons are selected, the tag is 6.1.2

The image can be run using command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -d ebx:6.1.2

Sharing the image

The steps to share an image depends on customer’s company infrastructure.

In following example, the image is pushed to a Docker private registry named myregistry : 

docker tag ebx:6.1.2 myregistry:5000/ebx:6.1.2
docker push myregistry:5000/ebx:6.1.2

Other architectures than Intel or AMD

The installers are tested on Intel or AMD 64 bits systems. On these platforms the generated image’s architecture will be linux/amd64 .

The installers may succeed when running on a system using another processor. In that case the generated image architecture will be linux for that processor type.

For example, if the installer runs on a MacOS M1 workstation, the generated image’s architecture will be linux/arm64 .

Attention

Generating an image on a system that is not Intel or AMD is experimental and is not supported in production .
