Running an eFTL Server in a Docker Container

To start an eFTL server, use the Docker command line specified in this task.

Prerequisites

  • Docker must already be installed on the host computer.
  • A Docker image that includes the eFTL server must be loaded into your Docker environment on the host computer.

    Use the pre-built Docker image ftl-tibeftlserver.

Procedure

  • Start the eFTL server container. 
    docker run --rm -p 9191:9191 ftl-tibeftlserver -rs discover:// -l ws://*:9191
    The eFTL server requires that the Docker container publish the server's listen port as an external port (in this example, 9191). The host port and container port must be identical.
    Optional command line arguments of the eFTL server could refer to files. If so, make those files available inside the container, for example, using Docker's -v parameter.
