Running datapower on OpenShift about datapower-labs HOT 6 CLOSED

Sean,

It looks like DataPower's reliance on --privileged combined with OpenShift's permission model is the source of the problems. This is an issue we are aware of.

We just released a beta version that does not have that requirement. If you're game, I'd suggest trying that:

https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/datapower/

I think you'll get quite a bit farther with the beta -- it does not require privileged.

Hi Harley,

Hi Harley, FYI, this spins up ok in OpenShift

Reading the info on that webpage you sent, I was trying to get the web-mgmt port to work, but for some reason it doesn't launch

I'm running ... docker run -it -p 9290:9090 -e DATAPOWER_ACCEPT_LICENSE=true datapower

So this should expose 9290 on the localhost my docker image is running on, but it doesn't work (9090 is already in use by openshift)

Is there any pre-reqs I need to do?

When I was working from the factory to the licenced build, this launched ok in Docker (I changed the pw, launched the webui, accepted licence etc)

Hi Sean,
Did you log into DataPower and enable the web-gui? Here are the CLI commands:
top;co;web-mgmt;admin enabled;exit;write mem

I ran this command......docker run -it -e DATAPOWER_INTERACTIVE=true -e DATAPOWER_ACCEPT_LICENSE=true -p 9290:9090 --name datapowertest dockerlight:latest /root/drouter

and then enabled the webgui and was able to log in using the url https://dpipaddress:9092 using a Chrome browser.

Thanks,
