To install the BRIDGE you can use the Docker image delivered by us but you can also create a BRIDGE Docker image of your own to fulfill special needs. You can do this from scratch, or you can use the delivered BRIDGE Docker image and change it according to your needs.
The BRIDGE Docker image is built in two steps:
- Creation of a Debian basic image containing an Oracle and an SQL Server instant client.
- Creation of the actual BRIDGE image on base of the Debian basic image.
Required Files to Create a BRIDGE Docker Image
If you want to create the BRIDGE Docker image you need the following files:
| File | In ZIP | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Dockerfile Debian Basic |  | The Docker file that rules the build of a Debian Basic image. |
| Dockerfile BRIDGE | | The Docker file that rules the build of a BRIDGE image on base of the Debian Basic image. |
| BridgeInstaller-linux-64-x.x.x.jar |  | A BRIDGE installer. |
| guilessinstaller.properties | | A properties file for GUI-less installation. |
| proxies.xml | | A file containing proxy definitions. You need it only if you use sudo. |
| server.cfg | | A file containing the configuration for MySQL and SQL Server client libraries. |
| sudo_httpd | | A file containing sudo and httpd configurations. |
You can download a ZIP archive containing all files that are marked with In ZIP from our download page.
The Debian Basic Docker File Explained
In a first step, a Debian basic image is created that is used later on as a base for the actual BRIDGE image. Expand the code section below to see and copy & paste the Docker file.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Preparations - Get an Oracle Instant Client | |
ARG INSTANTCLIENT_VERSION | Provide the actually used versions, e.g. INSTANTCLIENT_VERSION=19.6 and SQLSERVER_VERSION=17.5.2.1-1 with the call. |
FROM oraclelinux:7-slim AS oracleclient | Download Oracle Linux image. |
RUN curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo && \ | Install instant client to Oracle Linux image. |
Creating the Debian Basic Image | |
FROM debian:buster-slim | Download Debian buster slim image. |
ARG INSTANTCLIENT_VERSION | See further above. |
ENV LANG=C.UTF-8 | Set language and timezone in the system environment. |
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME | Configure the Oracle Database client library. |
RUN apt-get update -q \ | Install necessary packages. |
&& curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add - | Install MS SQL Server. |
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \ | |
&& groupadd -r bridge \ | As the BRIDGE should not be run as root, create a group bridge and a user bridge. |
&& (cd /etc; ln -f -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ localtime) | Set timezone. |
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=nexuspass --mount=type=secret,id=nexususer export NEXUS_PASSWORD=$(cat /run/secrets/nexuspass) | Get login information for nexus |
&& mkdir /tmp/db2_odbc_cli \ | |
&& curl -o /tmp/db2_odbc_cli/db2_odbc_cli.tar.gz -u $NEXUS_USER:$NEXUS_PASSWORD | Download driver from nexus |
&& (cd /tmp/db2_odbc_cli; tar -xvzf db2_odbc_cli.tar.gz) \ | Unpack driver |
&& (cp -r /tmp/db2_odbc_cli/odbc_cli /opt/odbc_cli; rm -rf /tmp/db2_odbc_cli) | Copy driver to BRIDGE location and delete temporary files. |
RUN mkdir /opt/oracle | Copy instantclient from Oracle Linux image. |
COPY --chown=bridge:bridge proxies.xml /opt/bridge_data/proxies/ | Configure proxies.xml. Only needed if sudo package is installed. |
COPY --chown=bridge:bridge server.cfg /opt/bridge_data/server.cfg | Configure MySQL and MS SQL Server client libraries. |
ENV ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle | Set environment for Oracle home directory. |
The BRIDGE Docker File Explained
In a second step, the actual BRIDGE image is created on base of the previously created Debian basic image. Expand the code section below to see and copy & paste the Docker file.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Preparations | |
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:jre AS install | Create a Docker image install. You need Java 11 to install the BRIDGE. |
ARG consoleProtocol | Provide the protocol of the BRIDGE UI with the call. Can be either http or https. |
COPY guilessinstaller.properties /tmp/guilessinstaller.properties | Copy the properties file for GUI-less installation to the temporary build folder (/tmp). |
COPY BridgeInstaller-linux-64-*.jar /tmp/BridgeInstaller.jar | Copy the BRIDGE installer file to the temporary build folder (/tmp). |
RUN groupadd -r bridge \ | As the BRIDGE should not be run as root, create a group bridge and a user bridge. |
&& java -Dconsole.protocol=${consoleProtocol:-https} -jar /tmp/BridgeInstaller.jar -guiless -installproperties /tmp/guilessinstaller.properties -debuglevel info \ | Start the installation. |
Creating the BRIDGE Image | |
FROM debian_basic:latest | Use Debian basic as base for the BRIDGE image. |
EXPOSE 8080/tcp | Expose the BRIDGE port. |
ENV JAVA_HOME=/opt/bridge_prog/j2re-<version>/linux-64 | Set environment so that the system uses the Java coming with the BRIDGE. |
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME | Configure the Oracle Database client library. |
COPY sudo_httpd /etc/sudoers.d/ | Configure sudo_http. Only needed if sudo package is installed. |
COPY --chown=bridge:bridge --from=install /opt/bridge_prog /opt/bridge_prog/ | Copy installation from image install. |
COPY --chown=bridge:bridge proxies.xml /opt/bridge_data/proxies/ | Configure proxies.xml. Only needed if sudo package is installed. |
COPY --chown=bridge:bridge server.cfg /opt/bridge_data/server.cfg | Configure MySQL and MS SQL Server client libraries. |
USER bridge | Specify the user the BRIDGE should use to run. |
CMD ["/opt/bridge_prog/bin/e2e_console.sh", "docker"] | Call BRIDGE standard start script with parameter docker. |
