Bonita BPM is an open-source business process management and workflow suite created in 2001. It was started in France National Institute for Research in Computer Science, and then had incubated several years inside of the French computer science company Groupe Bull. Since 2009, the development of Bonita is supported by a company dedicated to this activity: Bonitasoft.
$ docker run --name bonita -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
This will start a container running the Tomcat Bundle with Bonita BPM Engine + Bonita BPM Portal. With no environment variables specified, it's as like if you have launched the bundle on your host using startup.{sh|bat} (with security hardening on REST and HTTP APIs, cf Security part). Bonita BPM uses a H2 database here.
You can access the Bonita BPM Portal on http://localhost:8080/bonita and login using the default credentials: install / install
PostgreSQL is the recommanded database.
Set max_prepared_transactions to 100:
mkdir -p custom_postgres
echo '#!/bin/bash' > custom_postgres/bonita.sh
echo 'sed -i "s/^.*max_prepared_transactions\s*=\s*\(.*\)$/max_prepared_transactions = 100/" "$PGDATA"/postgresql.conf' >> custom_postgres/bonita.sh
chmod +x custom_postgres/bonita.sh
Mount that directory location as /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d inside the PostgreSQL container:
$ docker run --name mydbpostgres -v "$PWD"/custom_postgres/:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres:9.3
See the official PostgreSQL documentation for more details.
$ docker run --name bonita_postgres --link mydbpostgres:postgres -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
There are known issues with the management of XA transactions by MySQL engine and driver: see MySQL bugs 17343 and 12161 for more details. Thus, using MySQL database in a production environment is not recommended.
Increase the packet size which is set by default to 1M:
mkdir -p custom_mysql
echo "[mysqld]" > custom_mysql/bonita.cnf
echo "max_allowed_packet=16M" >> custom_mysql/bonita.cnf
Mount that directory location as /etc/mysql/conf.d inside the MySQL container:
$ docker run --name mydbmysql -v "$PWD"/custom_mysql/:/etc/mysql/conf.d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d mysql:5.5
See the official MySQL documentation for more details.
Start your application container to link it to the MySQL container:
$ docker run --name bonita_mysql --link mydbmysql:mysql -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
$ docker run --name=bonita -e "TENANT_LOGIN=tech_user" -e "TENANT_PASSWORD=secret" -e "PLATFORM_LOGIN=pfadmin" -e "PLATFORM_PASSWORD=pfsecret" -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
Now you can access the Bonita BPM Portal on localhost:8080/bonita and login using: tech_user / secret
Most of the data are stored in a database and can be stored outside the Bonita container as described above using the PostgreSQL or MySQL container. However, some data remains inside the Bonita bundle. Bonita Home is a folder, called bonita, which contains configuration, working, and temporary folders and files. There are also log files inside the logs folder.
Important note: There are several ways to store data used by applications that run in Docker containers. We encourage users of the bonita images to familiarize themselves with the options available, including:
The Docker documentation is a good starting point for understanding the different storage options and variations, and there are multiple blogs and forum postings that discuss and give advice in this area. We will simply show the basic procedure here for the latter option above:
/my/own/datadir.Start your bonita container like this:
docker run --name some-bonita -v /my/own/datadir:/opt/bonita -d bonita:tag
The -v /my/own/datadir:/opt/bonita part of the command mounts the /my/own/datadir directory from the underlying host system as /opt/bonita inside the container, where Bonita will deploy the bundle and write data files by default.
Note that users on host systems with SELinux enabled may see issues with this. The current workaround is to assign the relevant SELinux policy type to the new data directory so that the container will be allowed to access it:
$ chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /my/own/datadir
Stop the container to perform a backup
$ docker stop bonita_7.2.3_postgres
For containers < 7.3.0 :
Check where your data are stored
$ docker inspect bonita_7.2.3_postgres
[...]
"Mounts": [
{
"Source": "/home/user/Documents/Docker/Volumes/bonita_7.2.3_postgres",
"Destination": "/opt/bonita",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true
}
],
[...]
Copy data from the filesystem
cp -r bonita_7.2.3_postgres bonita_migration
Retrieve the DB container IP
$ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' mydbpostgres
172.17.0.26
Dump the database
export PGPASSWORD=mysecretpassword
pg_dump -O -x -h 172.17.0.26 -U postgres bonitadb > /tmp/bonitadb.sql
Note that businessdb won't be updated with the migration tool but you may want to also backup/move it.
Load the dump
export PGPASSWORD=mysecretpassword
psql -U postgres -h 172.17.0.26 -d postgres -c "CREATE USER newbonitauser WITH PASSWORD 'newbonitapass';"
psql -U postgres -h 172.17.0.26 -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE newbonitadb OWNER newbonitauser;"
export PGPASSWORD=newbonitapass
cat /tmp/bonitadb.sql | psql -U newbonitauser -h 172.17.0.26 newbonitadb
Retrieve the last migration tool
If you migrate to a version < 7.3.0

cd bonita_migration
wget http://download.forge.ow2.org/bonita/bonita-migration-distrib-2.15.0.zip
unzip bonita-migration-distrib-2.15.0.zip
Configure the migration tool
cd bonita-migration-distrib-2.15.0
edit the migration tool config to point towards the copy of bonita home and db
vim Config.properties
For example :
db.vendor=postgres
db.url=jdbc:postgresql://172.17.0.26:5432/newbonitadb
db.driverClass=org.postgresql.Driver
db.user=newbonitauser
db.password=newbonitapass

This Docker image activates both static and dynamic authorization checks by default on REST API. To be consistent, it also deactivates the HTTP API.
REST API authorization
For specific needs you can override this behavior by setting HTTP_API to true and REST_API_DYN_AUTH_CHECKS to false:
$ docker run -e HTTP_API=true -e REST_API_DYN_AUTH_CHECKS=false --name bonita -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
When you start the bonita image, you can adjust the configuration of the Bonita instance by passing one or more environment variables on the docker run command line.
PLATFORM_PASSWORDThis environment variable is recommended for you to use the Bonita image. It sets the platform administrator password for Bonita. If it is not specified, the default password platform will be used.
PLATFORM_LOGINThis optional environment variable is used in conjunction with PLATFORM_PASSWORD to define the username for the platform administrator. If it is not specified, the default user platformAdmin will be used.
TENANT_PASSWORDThis environment variable is recommended for you to use the Bonita image. It sets the tenant administrator password for Bonita. If it is not specified, the default password install will be used.
TENANT_LOGINThis optional environment variable is used in conjunction with TENANT_PASSWORD to define the username for the tenant administrator. If it is not specified, the default user of install will be used.
### REST_API_DYN_AUTH_CHECKS
This optional environment variable is used to enable/disable dynamic authorization checking on Bonita REST API. The default value is true, which will activate dynamic authorization checking.
HTTP_APIThis optional environment variable is used to enable/disable the Bonita HTTP API. The default value is false, which will deactivate the HTTP API.
JAVA_OPTSThis optional environment variable is used to customize JAVA_OPTS. The default value is -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m.
ENSURE_DB_CHECK_AND_CREATIONThis optional environment variable is used to allow/disallow the SQL queries to automatically check and create the databases using the database administrator credentials. The default value is true.
DB_VENDORThis environment variable is automatically set to postgres or mysql if the Bonita container is linked to a PostgreSQL or MySQL database using --link. The default value is h2. It can be overridden if you don't use the --link capability.
DB_HOST, DB_PORTThese variables are optional, used in conjunction to configure the bonita image to reach the database instance. There are automatically set if --link is used to run the container.
DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSThese variables are used in conjunction to create a new user, set that user's password, and create the bonita database.
DB_NAME default value is bonitadb.
DB_USER default value is bonitauser.
DB_PASS default value is bonitapass.
BIZ_DB_NAME, BIZ_DB_USER, BIZ_DB_PASSThese variables are used in conjunction to create a new user, set that user's password and create the bonita business database.
BIZ_DB_NAME default value is businessdb.
BIZ_DB_USER default value is businessuser.
BIZ_DB_PASS default value is businesspass.
DB_ADMIN_USER, DB_ADMIN_PASSThese variables are optional, and used in conjunction to create users and databases through the administrator account used on the database instance.
DB_ADMIN_USER if no value is provided, this is automatically set to root with MySQL or postgres with PostgreSQL.
DB_ADMIN_PASS if no value is provided, this is automatically set using the value from the linked container: MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD or POSTGRES_ENV_POSTGRES_PASSWORD.
If you would like to do additional initialization, you can add a *.sh script under /opt/custom-init.d. The startup.sh file will source any *.sh script found in this directory to do further initialization before starting the service.
For example, you can increase the log level :
mkdir -p custom_bonita
echo '#!/bin/bash' > custom_bonita/bonita.sh
echo 'sed -i "s/^org.bonitasoft.level = WARNING$/org.bonitasoft.level = FINEST/" /opt/bonita/BonitaBPMCommunity-7.0.0-Tomcat-7.0.55/conf/logging.properties' >> custom_bonita/bonita.sh
chmod +x custom_bonita/bonita.sh
docker run --name bonita_custom -v "$PWD"/custom_bonita/:/opt/custom-init.d -d -p 8080:8080 bonita
Note: There are several ways to check the bonita logs. One of them is
$ docker exec -ti bonita_custom /bin/bash
tail -f /opt/bonita/BonitaBPMCommunity-7.0.0-Tomcat-7.0.55/logs/bonita.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log
