Modify the Environment Files

The IDOL Docker Compose ZIP package contains environment files.

For all IDOL Docker Compose options, you must modify the .env environment file to provide the details of your license server.

NOTE: To use SSL, you must also modify the idol-ssl.env environment file to configure SSL behavior (see SSL Environment Variable Reference).

To modify the standard environment file

  1. In your IDOL Docker Compose package directory, open the folder for the setup that you want to run (basic-idol or data-admin).

  2. Open the .env environment file in a text editor.

  3. Update the LICENSESERVER_IP variable to give the IP address of your IDOL License Server.

    NOTE: To work with the standard IDOL Docker images, License Server must run on port 20000.

  4. (Optional) Modify the following variables for your setup:

    HTTP_PROXY The URL of a HTTP proxy that Docker must use to access the container files on Docker Hub.
    IDOL_SERVER_VERSION

    The IDOL Server version of the images that you want to download. You can use one of the following version string formats:

    • 12.X Download the latest version of the 12.X release containers. For example, 12.6 downloads the latest available 12.6 version (which might be 12.6.0 or 12.6.1, and so on).
    • 12.X.X Download the latest version of the 12.X.X release containers. For example, 12.6.0 downloads the latest available 12.6.0 version, where the docker containers have been updated but the IDOL component versions have not changed.
    • 12.X.X_DockerBuild Download an exact version of the IDOL Docker containers.

    The other environment variables are for internal use, and you do not need to update them unless instructed by OpenText Support.

  5. Save and close the environment variables file.
