Building Docker Images for FTL Services

Administrators build Docker images for the realm server, persistence server, and agent.

Prerequisites

  • TIBCO FTL software must be installed on the build computer using a Linux 64-bit installation package.
  • Docker must be installed on the build computer.

Location

The Docker files to build the FTL service images are located in the samples/docker directory of the product installation tree.

FTL Service Docker File Docker Image Name
Realm Server Dockerfile.tibrealmserver ftl-tibrealmserver
Persistence Server Dockerfile.tibstore ftl-tibstore
Agent Dockerfile.tibagent ftl-tibagent
Bridge Dockerfile.tibbridge ftl-tibbridge

The file README.txt in that directory contains instructions for building and using Docker images in special cases.

Procedure

  1. Create a build directory.
    If the build directory already exists, you may omit this step. 
    % mkdir /tmp/build
% cd /tmp/build
% mkdir ftl
  2. Copy TIBCO FTL software to the build directory.
    If an up-to-date copy of the software is already in the build directory, you may omit this step. 
    % cp ${FTL_EXTRACT}/*.deb ftl/
% cp -r ${FTL_INSTALL}/samples ftl/
    The environment variable FTL_EXTRACT must indicate the location where you extracted the installation archive.

    The environment variable FTL_INSTALL must indicate the location where you installed TIBCO FTL software.

  3. Build the Docker image.
    Substitute the appropriate Docker file and Docker image name from the preceding table in this command line. 
    % docker build -f ftl/samples/docker/docker_file_name -t docker_image_name .
  4. Optional. Save the image. 
    docker save -o docker_image_name.tar docker_image_name
    You can copy the resulting tar file to other host computers and load the saved image into the Docker environments on those hosts. For example: 
    docker load -i docker_image_name.tar
