Prerequisites
The following instructions outline how to prepare for building a Data Virtualization Docker image.
Note: The TDV product does not provide a Docker image. You must build it explicitly.
Before building the Docker image, ensure the following:
• You have Docker installed, configured, and it runs successfully on your machine. Refer to the "Docker documentation - http://docs.docker.com/installation" for more information on installing Docker.
• The TDV Docker container will require a minimum of 8GB of RAM and 8GB of read & write persistent disk storage. For additional resource requirements see Resource Requirements for TDV
Note : To allow non-root users to run Docker commands, follow the instructions in https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall
