Deploying iPortal in Docker |
Linux container virtual technology （LXC，Linux Container）is a lightweight virtualization method, it uses the kernel virtualization technology to provide lightweight virtualization, to isolate processes and resources. Docker expands the LXC, provides a higher level of API, and simplifies the packaging and deployment of applications, creates independent private environment of one another for end users, which can effectively save the environment deployment time of developers and system administrators.
SuperMap iPortal is online now in the center of the Docker, download link is : http://hub.docker.com/r/supermap/iportal. Only a few steps, users can deploy the iPortal in the Docker.
Here taking Ubuntu Wily 15.10 as an example, introducing how to deploy and run the iPortal in the Docker.
Logging as a root user or a user with supreme authority is needed to do the following operations
When using apt-get to download the installation package, users first need to update the source, and install the apt - transport - https, ensures that the system can correctly download the needed files, in turn, execute the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
Entering /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, newly creating docker.list file for adding Docker into the apt software installation source:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
vi docker.list
Adding the following content in the docker.list file
deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-wily main
Updating APT package indexes, and confirming that the APT is the files accessed from correct warehouse :
apt-get update
apt-get purge lxc-docker
apt-cache policy docker-engine
For Ubuntu system, suggesting installing linux-image-extra package:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
Installing Docker, and starting:
sudo apt-get install docker-engine
sudo service docker start
Verifying whether the Docker is successfully installed. This command will download a test file and run it in a container. After a container operating, it will print some information, and automatically exit.
sudo docker run hello-world
Because the mirror center of docker is abroad, download speed is slow. It is recommended to use Aliyun accelerator：https://help.aliyun.com/knowledge_detail/5974865.html, if the operating system is ubuntu, users can use the following script to add configuration of mirror into launch parameters of docker daemon, and restart Docker:
echo "DOCKER_OPTS=\"--registry-mirror=https://hqsuattf.mirror.aliyuncs.com\"" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/docker
sudo service docker start
Executing the following command to download the latest iPortal image in the Docker host machine:
docker pull supermap/iportal
After downloading, you can execute the following commands to view downloaded image information:
docker images
Based on downloaded image, running a Docker container iPortalServer. Executing the following commands:
docker run --privileged --name iPortalServer -d -p 8090:8090 supermap/iportal
Of which:
Waiting for a few seconds, iPortal is completely started. Inputting http://<Host IP >:8090 in the browser, and users can visit iPortal
After starting the iPortal, 90 days trial license is obtained by default, when the host machine has obtained the official license, user can see: configuring license information , to deploy official license.
