Deploying DPE Admin as docker container

Load Image

Use the file dpe-admin.tar.gzip from the delivery folder to load the image

CODE

docker load < dpe-admin.tar.gzip

Prepare settings.json

Copy the file settings.json from the delivery sub folder webapp to a location where it can be used from docker, e.g. /etc/admin/

Adapt settings.json to connect to your DPE Services, see Prepare settings.json

Create Container

CODE

docker run -p 80:80 --name admin --mount type=bind,source=/etc/admin/settings.json,target=/usr/share/nginx/html/settings.json dpe-admin:latest

Option -p <externalPort>:80 specifies which external port to use, the container internal port is always 80
Option --mount injects/maps the settings.json file from the host location to the inside of container

Docker Compose

Alternatively you can also use a docker compose file

compose.yaml

CODE

version: '3.7'
services:
  dpe_admin:
    container_name: admin
    image: docker-registry.davidsystems.com/dpe-admin:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - /etc/admin/settings.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/settings.json

HTTPS

The DPE Admin container is supporting HTTP.

Typically, in enterprise environments a HTTPS-offloading proxy is used to route the HTTPS traffic from the outside to an internal docker container.
