Launching TDV Containers

Installation and Upgrade Guide > TDV Docker Container > Launching TDV Containers

TDV is pre-packaged with the following deployment tools to help users to launch TDV Containers:

• Quick start container deploy script “run_tdv_container.sh” (for single node)

• Quick start container deploy script “run_tdv_cluster_container.sh” (for cluster modes)

• Docker-Compose TDV example "docker-compose-tdv.yml"

You can download these files from the

Alternately, you can also use the TDV Docker files and the corresponding tar.gz file that are available in the site - edelivery.tibco.com alongside the other TDV distributions (e.g. installer and patch). Follow the steps given in the sections below, to deploy the TDV Docker Images.

This section will explain how to start a TDV Docker container. If you need to review TDV container sizing guidelines refer Sizing Guidelines for TDV

TDV Admin Password

There is no default TDV Admin password for the docker container and specifying an Admin Password is required when launching a TDV container. You can specify the password in one of the following ways:

1. By setting an environment variable TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD prior to running the quick script or the “docker run” command:

export TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<VALUE>;

2. By using the option “-e”:

docker run -e TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Note: Refer to the sections Launching TDV Containers (Single Node) - Using Quick Start Script and Launching TDV Containers (Cluster Nodes) - Using Quick Start Script for the usage of the “-e” option.

3. By storing the password in a file and using that file while launching the container:

docker run -env TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE=<FILE> # The file should have the TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<VALUE> set.

Note: You can also store all the docker run parameters in an enviroment file and use the file while launching the container:

docker run --env-file <FILE>. # <FILE> The file should have the TDV_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<VALUE> set along with other required parameters.
