Step 5: Configure the Docker File

The Docker file is used to build the TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX container.

Procedure

  • Configure the Docker file based on your requirements.
    The Docker file performs the following functions:
    • Installs Linux version and debugging tools.
    • Sets environment variables that can be overridden by the Docker build.
    • Creates MFT groups and users.
    • Copies the Platform Server distribution. If you are running as a non-root user, make sure the directories have the correct rights and attributes.
    • Defines the user that the container runs under.
    • Sets the Platform Server CFROOT environment variable and create the bash_profile file.
