Starting a Transport Bridge in a Docker Container

To start a transport bridge, use the Docker command line specified in this task.

Prerequisites

  • Docker must already be installed on the host computer.
  • The Docker image ftl-tibbridge must be loaded into your Docker environment on the host computer.

    To build, save, and load the image, see Building Docker Images for FTL Services.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that an agent is running on the host computer.
    See Starting an Agent.
  2. Start the transport bridge container. 
    docker run -d ftl-tibbridge -rs discover:// -n bridge_name
    Optional command line arguments of the transport bridge could refer to files. If so, make those files available inside the container, for example, using Docker's -v parameter.
