Starting a Cluster of FTL Servers in Docker Containers
To start FTL servers that require explicit configuration, complete this task.
Procedure
-
Arrange an FTL server configuration file.
All the servers in the cluster can use the same configuration file.
globals: core.servers: ftl1: host1:8585 ftl2: host2:8585 ftl3: host3:8585 servers: ftl1: - realm: {} ftl2: - realm: {} ftl3: - realm: {}
The configuration file can include core servers, auxiliary servers, or both.
-
Load the correct pre-built Docker image.
The correct image depends on whether a server provides an eFTL service.
Option Description No eFTL service ftl-tibftlserver:6.2.0 eFTL service ftl-tibeftlserver:6.2.0 -
Start the FTL server container.
To make the configuration file available within the container, bind the external file system with Docker's -v parameter.
Publish the FTL server port using Docker's -p parameter. This example uses the default port, 8585.
Supply the configuration file name as the argument to the FTL server's -c parameter.
Supply the server name as the argument to the FTL server's -n or --name parameter. The name refers to a server defined in the configuration file.
docker run -v /var/tmp:/tmp -p 8585:8585 ftl-tibftlserver:6.2.0 -c /tmp/ftl/ftlconfig.yml -n server_name
- Repeat the preceding step for each FTL server in the configuration file.
