Step 1: Extract the Software

Load the BRIDGE Docker image with

docker image load -i bridge-<version>.tar

Step2: Configure the Installation Settings

To configure the settings of the Docker image, you need to put your configuration in a docker-compose.yml file.

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

   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:

   version: '2.1'
   services:
     bridge:
       image: 'bridge:<version>'
       hostname: '<your hostname>'
       restart: always
       ports:
         - '<your host port>:8080'
         - '<your host proxy port>:<Docker BRIDGE proxy port>'
       volumes:
         - 'bridge_data:/opt/bridge_data/'
   volumes:
     bridge_data:
       driver: local

   Change the settings of this file as described below.

   Line	Setting	Description	Allowed Values / Example
   4	services/image	Provide the version of the Docker image.	'bridge:7.5.1'
   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 on host reboot. Delete this line, if you do not want to start the container automatically.	always	Restart BRIDGE container on host reboot.
   7-9	services/bridge/ports	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. 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).	ports:   - '18080:8080'   - '1443:443'

Step 3: Start the Container

Start the container by running the following command:

docker-compose up

To run the container in the background, use:

docker-compose up -d

You can stop the container using

docker-compose stop

Step 4: Checking the Installation

If you want to check the installation, continue with Checking the Installation.
