Creating a App Connect Container using the Docker Image

Before you begin

Make sure you have a proper App Connect Docker image created and available for deployment.

About this task

Use this task to create a new App Connect container from a docker image.

Note: You can create and use only one App Connect container per single docker host as the container uses the docker host's network resources.

Procedure

In the Ubuntu server, where you have your docker image, execute the following command:
docker run --net=host --pid=host  -t -i -d <App Connect docker image ID>

For example, docker run --net=host --pid=host -t -i -d appconnectv7520/20160302-1535, where appconnectv7520/20160302-1535 is the App Connect docker image ID.

Results

On executing the above command, a App Connect container will be created along with a container ID. Use the App Connect Container ID to validate the App Connect Installation and configuration. The App Connect container ID is dynamically generated by Docker.
Note:

You can validate the App Connect Installation and configuration using the following command until you get the App Connect component Status.

docker logs –f <CI Container ID>

For example,

App Connect Component Status
--------------------------
 DerbyServer : Up
 WMC         : Up
 Maestro     : Up
 Gateway     : Up

Also use Docker Host machine’s ETH0 IP address to open App Connect Web Management Console and ensure it is accessible.
