+# Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This image contains IBM WebSphere Application Server for Developers V8.5.5
|
|
|
+Liberty Profile and the IBM Java Runtime Environment 7.1 SR1. For more
|
|
|
+information on WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile, see the
|
|
|
+[WASdev][getting-started] site.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+# Usage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In order to use the image, it is necessary to accept the terms of the WebSphere
|
|
|
+Application Server for Developers and IBM JRE licenses. This is achieved by
|
|
|
+specifying the environment variable `LICENSE` equal to `accept` when running the
|
|
|
+image. You can also view the license terms by setting this variable to
|
|
|
+`view`. Failure to set the variable will result in the termination of the
|
|
|
+container with a usage statement.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The image is designed to support a number of different usage patterns. The following examples are based on the Liberty [application deployment sample][sample] and assume that [DefaultServletEngine.zip][zip] has been extracted to `/tmp` and the `server.xml` updated to accept connections from outside of the container by adding the following element inside the `server` stanza:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+<httpEndpoint host="*" httpPort="9080" httpsPort="9443"/>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. The image contains a default server configuration that specifies the
|
|
|
+`webProfile-6.0` feature and exposes ports 9080 and 9443 for HTTP and HTTPs
|
|
|
+respectively. A WAR file can therefore be mounted in to the `dropins` directory
|
|
|
+of this server and run. The following example starts a container in the
|
|
|
+background running a WAR file from the host file system with the HTTP and HTTPS
|
|
|
+ports mapped to 80 and 443 respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ docker run -e LICENSE=accept -d -p 80:9080 -p 443:9443 \
|
|
|
+ -v /tmp/DefaultServletEngine/dropins/Sample1.war:/opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/Sample1.war \
|
|
|
+ websphere-liberty
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Once the server has started, you can browse to
|
|
|
+ http://localhost/Sample1/SimpleServlet on the Docker host.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. For greater flexibility over configuration, it is possible to mount an entire
|
|
|
+server configuration directory from the host and then specify the server name as
|
|
|
+a parameter to the run command.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ docker run -e LICENSE=accept -d -p 80:9080 -p 443:9443 \
|
|
|
+ -v /tmp/DefaultServletEngine:/opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/DefaultServletEngine \
|
|
|
+ websphere-liberty DefaultServletEngine
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3. It is also possible to build an application layer on top of this image using
|
|
|
+either the default server configuration or a new server configuration and,
|
|
|
+optionally, accept the license as part of that build. Here we have copied the
|
|
|
+`Sample1.war` from `/tmp/DefaultServletEngine/dropins` to the same directory as
|
|
|
+the following Dockerfile.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ FROM websphere-liberty
|
|
|
+ ADD Sample1.war /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/dropins/
|
|
|
+ ENV LICENSE accept
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+4. Lastly, it is possible to mount a data volume container containing the
|
|
|
+application and the server configuration on to the image. This has the benefit
|
|
|
+that it has no dependency on files from the host but still allows the
|
|
|
+application container to be easily re-mounted on a newer version of the
|
|
|
+application server image. The example assumes that you have copied the
|
|
|
+`/tmp/DefaultServletEngine` directory in to the same directory as the
|
|
|
+Dockerfile.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Build and run the data volume container:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ FROM ubuntu:14.04
|
|
|
+ ADD DefaultServletEngine /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/DefaultServletEngine
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ docker build -t app-image .
|
|
|
+ docker run -d -v /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/DefaultServletEngine \
|
|
|
+ --name app app-image true
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Run the WebSphere Liberty image with the volumes from the data
|
|
|
+ volume container mounted:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ docker run -e LICENSE=accept -d -p 80:9080 -p 443:9443 \
|
|
|
+ --volumes-from app websphere-liberty DefaultServletEngine
|
|
|
+ ```
