Overview
Containers are packages that contain pre-installed and pre-configured software. They provide convenient building blocks so that you can create complex systems more easily.
OpenText provides containers that each provide a single IDOL component, with a standard configuration. For a list of containers, see Available IDOL Containers.
These containers can be used with both Docker Compose and Kubernetes/Helm to deploy complete IDOL solutions that involve multiple containers. OpenText provides Docker compose files and Helm charts that you can use. The IDOL Docker Compose solutions are designed to run on a single host server. Kubernetes/Helm can deploy and manage containers across multiple servers, and can automatically scale up and down depending on whether the system is under load.
You can use the provided resources to deploy IDOL, and as a starting point for building your own, custom, containerized IDOL system.
