This document presents an overview of packaging IBM Domino with Docker for both developers and administrators, emphasizing the benefits of automated testing and deployment. It includes instructions on creating Docker images, managing server setups, and defining network services and configuration automation. Additionally, it highlights the separation of program and data within Domino, making it suitable for containerization and efficient management.

- 1. AD-1172 Shipping Domino How to Put Domino in a Container and Live Happy Book of Recipes Matteo Bisi, Daniele Vistalli @ Factor-y
- 2. About us Matteo Bisi • IBM Champions for Social Business (2014,2015,2016) • IBM Certified Advanced System Administrator - Notes and Domino 9.0 • System engineer @ Factor-y S.r.l. Daniele Vistalli • CEO & CTO @ Factor-y S.r.l. • R&D nerd with business focus
- 3. Docker + Domino What and why
- 4. Docker and containers in 1 slide Docker is a way to “package” your software in an image: • File system • System security (user/groups) & settings • TCP Network (ports that needs to be reachable) • Image inheritance is possible (incremental specialization) Docker is a way to “ship & run” your software to other systems: • Start an “image” to get a container where your software runs • Manage containers (start/stop/control etc) • The container runs regardless of the actual (underlying) system (VM, bare metal, etc)
- 5. Why package domino ? (developers edition) Domino could be packaged to make developers happy • Think about automated testing: Start a clean server every time and test your software Create “acceptance” environments in seconds Keep an archive of images for every software release to perfrom back-version debugging/testing (start a clean server in minutes) • Think about saving time: Use a standard image your admin has built, just fire it up
- 6. Why package domino ? (admin edition) • Linux based servers ? • Create images to support developers (standard deployment) • Create images to ship & deploy your product in cloud with high density Pack the server, the software (NSFs and plugins) and deploy Manage upgrades by just upgrading the image and attaching the data volume (see volumes) • Consolidate multiple servers on a single powerful machine but maintain complete isolation
- 7. Domino built to be packaged
- 8. Program / data separation Domino is born with clean separation, perfect for packaging • Binary folder contains all server components • NOTESDATA contains the “server instance” We all know that you can often move a server by copy/paste NOTESDATA + reinstall domino. THIS IS UNIQUE • NOTES.INI = core settings in a controllable and manageable place (no arcane binary or registry location)
- 9. File systems A Domino server filesystem is well-defined and can be managed • NotesData : all your databases and config files • DAOS : if DAOS is enabled.. Attachments go here • Transaction Logs : If transaction logs enabled, you find them in a well defined place • FTIndexes : Full-text indexes can be placed in a specific location • View rebuild : Temporary rebuild data can also be placed “somewhere” This is perfect, Docker has “VOLUMES” a way to define filesystem attachments that “persist” even if a container is stopped/destroyed and rebuilt. VOLUMES allow to “mount” persistent filesystems to attach points defined in the IMAGE description
- 10. Network services • Domino is a network server • Each service uses TCP ports • To expose a port from a container to the “external” world you need to declare those • Plan for your needs, identify network ports and EXPOSE EXPOSE 80 443 1352 (and eventually others)
- 11. Install and configuration automation What about Domino setup and configuration ? Once again we’re lucky 1. Domino server silent install RUN /bin/bash -c "/tmp/sw-repo/install -silent -options /tmp/sw- repo/unix_response.dat" 2. Recorded server configuration /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server -silent /local/notesdata/playground.pds /local/notesdata/playground.txt
- 12. Lab: Creating a domino image for developers
- 13. What we need (installers, dockerfile) 1. Create a “build” directory where we place our “work files” 2. Put domino server installers 3. Put FP installers for domino server 4. Create a “dockerfile” aka “Image creation script” 5. Use docker CLI to create the image and build it
- 14. DockerFile anatomy A “DockerFile” is a text file with docker commands, it • Declares the “base image” to inherit from • Copies files to the image filesystem • Executes commands in the image to setup things • Declares “VOLUME” mappings • Declares ports to “EXPOSE”d.
- 15. Setup the environment (DockerFile 1/3) # Select the base image to inherit from FROM ubuntu:14.04 # Execute unix commands: add user, group and set limits RUN adduser notes RUN usermod -aG notes notes RUN usermod -d /local/notesdata notes RUN sed -i '$d' /etc/security/limits.conf RUN echo 'notes soft nofile 60000' >> /etc/security/limits.conf RUN echo 'notes hard nofile 80000' >> /etc/security/limits.conf RUN echo '# End of file' >> /etc/security/limits.conf
- 16. Install domino (DockerFile 2/3) # Copy our installers from our build directory to the image file system COPY sw-repo/domino901/ /tmp/sw-repo/ # Silent install domino/ RUN /bin/bash -c "/tmp/sw-repo/install -silent -options /tmp/sw- repo/unix_response.dat"
- 17. Configure domino and cleanup (DockerFile 3/3) # Prepare for configuration and run scripted configuration ENV NUI_NOTESDIR /opt/ibm/domino/ RUN cp /tmp/sw-repo/*.id /local/notesdata/ RUN cp /tmp/sw-repo/playground.* /local/notesdata/ RUN su notes -c "cd /local/notesdata && /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server -silent /local/notesdata/playground.pds /local/notesdata/playground.txt" # Declare TCP ports to be exposed EXPOSE 80 443 1352 # Clean up "tmp" RUN rm -rf /tmp/* -------------------------------------------- Now we build the image from the Unix Prompt: Docker> docker build –f <dockerfilename>
