Build IDOL Docker Compose System

This section describes how to build and start your IDOL Docker Compose system.

  1. Obtain the Docker Compose files, for example:

    git clone https://github.com/microfocus-idol/idol-containers-toolkit
  2. Modify the environment file to specify the License Server IP address, and a HTTP Proxy if required. See Modify the Environment Files.

  3. (basic-idol only) Make any required updates to the YAML files for your particular options. You must modify the YAML when you want to use a bindmount, or document security. See Update YAML Files.

  4. Run the docker-compose up command to build and run the containers. See Run Docker Commands.

You can also optionally set up SSL/TLS communications between the IDOL components in your containers. In this case, you must provide the required certificates, or a means to generate them. There are also additional environment variables to set. See Use SSL/TLS Communications.
