Setting up Liberty
Define directory locations and variables, create and configure servers, and add and remove Liberty features that specify the capabilities of your server.
Subtopics
- Directory locations and properties
In Liberty, many directories have properties that are associated with them. These properties can be used to specify file locations when you configure the server. - Default port numbers
Some parts of Liberty use default TCP/IP port numbers. You can override the default port numbers by specifying a different port number in your server configuration. Creating a Liberty server by using developer tools
You can use developer tools to create and start a Liberty server. If you have not yet installed Liberty, the developer tools can install it for you when you create a server for the first time.Creating a remote Liberty server by using developer tools
You can use developer tools to create and start a remote Liberty server.Creating a workbench Liberty server in a Docker container by using developer tools
Use WebSphere® Developer Tools to create a reference in the workbench to a Liberty server that is running in a Docker container. You can use this reference to handle your server requests from the workbench.- Creating a remote Liberty server in a Docker container by using developer tools
You can use WebSphere Developer Tools to create a reference to a Liberty server that is running in a Docker container on a remote host. You can use this reference to handle your server requests from the workbench. Running Docker applications directly from a workspace
Run Docker applications directly from the workspace immediately when you create a server.- Creating a Liberty server manually
You can create a server from the command line. Configuring the Liberty server to start as a job in the QWAS9 subsystem on IBM i
You can optionally use the iAdmin POSTINSTALL command to configure the Liberty server to start as a job in the QWAS9 subsystem and to run under the QEJBSVR user profile.- Using virtual hosts
You can use virtual hosts if you want isolation between applications and the endpoints that serve them. - Preparing and running an application client
Learn how to prepare your server and client to run an application client from Liberty application client container. - Specifying Liberty bootstrap properties
Bootstrap properties initialize the runtime environment for a particular server. Generally, they are attributes that affect the configuration and initialization of the runtime core. - Setting the default host name of a Liberty server
You can add the defaultHostName variable to the server.xml file to set the default host name by which a Liberty server is identified. - Setting up the server-management environment for Liberty by using collectives
To set up the server-management environment for the Liberty by using collectives, define the appropriate features in the server.xml file and run the corresponding collective command-line tasks to establish the administrative domain security configuration. - Setting up a Liberty server to use Bluemix services
You can configure a Liberty server to use Bluemix® services. Not all Bluemix services are available for configuration. Platform-as-a-service environment considerations for setting up Liberty
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments, such as IBM® Bluemix, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, and OpenShift Enterprise, provide management and monitoring of application instances, but they also have some restrictions. Because of the inherent characteristics of PaaS environments, some Liberty features are redundant or behave differently, and they are therefore not supported.
