For testing purposes, the docker-compose file provisions two Holodeck servers that are linked. One with a role of sender and the second with the role of receiver.

This requires Docker to be installed and configured.

Use docker-compose up in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file. This will start two containers:

1. holodecka: the sender
2. holodeckb: the receiver

Connect to each container using docker exec -ti holodecka /bin/bash or docker exec -ti holodeckb /bin/bash.

To run a test:

1. Connect to holodecka using docker exec -ti holodecka /bin/bash
2. Rename ex-mmd-push-1.processed to x-mmd-push-1.mmd in the /opt/holodeck/data/msg_out directory.
3. Connect to holodeckb using docker exec -ti holodeckb /bin/bash
4. Check the directory /opt/holodeck/data/msg_in for the received message

See also the 'Getting Started Guide' of Holodeck.

The docker-compose.yml file depends on the mhvdboog/holodeck image. There are some hardcoded values to stand-up a working test environment to send messages from sender to receiver.

Download docker-compose.yml and run docker-compose up, then follow instructions from the Holodeck "Getting Started" guide to copy example data from the holodeck/examples/msgs to holodeck/data/msg_out in the sender container.

The Dockerfile is an example how to build an image for Holodeck.

The Dockerfile expects a binary distribution of Holodeck to be available in the holodeck subdirectory.
