Running the App Connect Integration Server with docker.
In above step we consider running the development tool kit with the Appconnect server.
But we are capable to install only Appconnect server using docker also.
use following site give full instruction for docker based server.
This repository contains some Dockerfiles and some scripts which demonstrate a way in which you might run IBM App Connect Enterprise in a Docker container.
To run a container using this image with default configuration and these settings:
- ACE server name
ACESERVER
- listener for ACE web ui on port
7600
- listener for ACE HTTP on port
7600
run the following command:
docker run --name aceserver -p 7600:7600 -p 7800:7800 -p 7843:7843 --env LICENSE=accept --env ACE_SERVER_NAME=ACESERVER ibmcom/ace:latest
Then It is possible to access from web browser.
Stop the server.
docker stop aceserver
IBM AppConnect Tool kit and if you want only server using docker can be installed as described above.
