You can create Docker containers from the BRIDGE images using docker-compose. This includes the following steps:

...

1. Create a folder to contain the BRIDGE Docker configuration.

   Info
   Please note that the docker-compose project is named after this folder, and also the created Docker containers. Naming convention for the Docker containers is: <docker-compose project name>_bridge_1.

2. Create a file docker-compose.yml to the previously created folder. This file should have the following content:

   Code Block
   linenumbers true
   version: '2.1' services: bridge: image: 'bridge:<version>${VERSION:-7.7.0}' hostname: '<your hostname>${BRIDGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME:}' restart: always ports: - '<your host port>${HOST_BRIDGE_PORT:-8080}:8080' - '<your host proxy port>:<Docker BRIDGE proxy port>${HOST_PORTS}:${CONTAINER_PORTS}' volumes: - 'bridge_data:/opt/bridge_data/' volumes: bridge_data: driver: local

   Change Here, you can change the settings of this file as described below.following settings:

   'bridge:7..1'

   Line	Setting	Description	Allowed Values / Example		4	services/image	Provide the version of the Docker image.
   5
   5	services/bridge/hostname	Provide your BRIDGE hostname (that matches with the BRIDGE license).	hostname: 'bridge.e2e.ch'
   6	services/bridge/restart	Define if the BRIDGE Docker container should be started automatically, e.g. on host reboot. Delete this line, if you do not want to start the container automatically. For more information on Docker restart refer to the Docker documentation pages.	always	Restart BRIDGE container on host reboot.

3. To define the variables used in the docker-compose.yml, create a .env file in the same folder the docker-compose.yml resides in.
   

   Map the BRIDGE Docker ports to the ports of the host like <your host port>:<Docker BRIDGE port>.

   Mapping the BRIDGE port is the minimal configuration needed, you can add more port mappings if necessary.

   Variable	Description	Mandatory	Allowed Values / Example
   BRIDGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME	Provide your BRIDGE hostname (that matches with the BRIDGE license).		BRIDGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME='bridge.scheer-acme.com'
   COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME	Define the Docker compose project name. This name is used as a prefix for all BRIDGE volumes and containers. Note Once you have defined a project name and installed the BRIDGE, do not change the project name anymore.		COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=bridge_prod
   VERSION	Provide the version of the Docker image.		VERSION=7.8.0
   HOST_BRIDGE_PORT	Provide the BRIDGE port on the host.		HOST_BRIDGE_PORT=8090
   			Default	8080
   HOST_PORTS	7-9	services/bridge/ports
   Info
   Map BRIDGE Docker ports to the ports of the host. You can specify a single port or a range FROM-TO. The HOST_PORTS and CONTAINER_PORTS must have a matching count of port numbers. Info	We recommend to route all service calls via the same proxy, so at least one more proxy mapping will be needed (as shown in the example).		HOST_PORTS=1443 HOST_PORTS=1443-1444
   		CONTAINER_PORTS		CONTAINER_PORTS=443 CONTAINER_PORTS=443-444ports:   - '18080:8080'   - '1443:443'

Step 3: Start the Container
