Requirements

This section describes the requirements for you to run the basic IDOL Docker Compose set up.

Before you can use the IDOL Docker containers, you must have:

  • an installation of Docker, on Windows or Linux. On Linux you must also install Docker Compose. For details about how to install and run Docker and Docker Compose, refer to the Docker documentation.

  • an API key to access the Micro Focus IDOL Docker hub to download the container images. You can obtain this key from Micro Focus Support.

  • an IDOL License Server, running on a static machine. The IDOL containers use this License Server to retrieve licenses.

The IDOL Docker Compose files are available from GitHub, in the idol-containers-toolkit repository.
