🐳 IBM webMethods MWS & MSR Docker Compose Setup

This Docker Compose configuration sets up a local development environment with the following services:

• MWS (My webMethods Server)
• MSR (Microservices Runtime)
• PostgreSQL database (wmdb)
• DCC-based DB initialization (db-init)

---

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository (or prepare your directory layout):

git clone <your-repo>
cd <your-repo>

2. Create Required Folder Structure

mkdir -p \
  mws/volumes/{apps,configs,data,libs,logs,patches} \
  msr/{license,server} \
  dcc/{logs,init}

You may also place initialization files in dcc/init if needed.

3. Start the environment

docker-compose up -d

🧩 Service Breakdown

🔹 mws-app

My webMethods Server container

• Image: mws:10.15
• Ports: 8585 exposed for web access
• Volumes:
  • Mounts app, config, and data folders from ./mws/volumes
  • Receives DCC init signaling via ./dcc/init
• Environment Variables:
  • Database credentials and connection string
  • Server instance and volume base paths
• User: Runs as UID/GID 1724
• Depends on: db-init

🔹 msr

Integration Server / Microservices Runtime

• Image: msr:10.15
• Ports:
  • 5555: HTTP port
  • 9999: Admin or diagnostics port
• Volumes:
  • Licenses and server state under ./msr
  • Shared init signaling via ./dcc/init
• Depends on: db-init

🔹 wmdb

PostgreSQL database container

• Image: postgres:latest
• Ports: 5432 for database access
• Credentials:
  • User: wm
  • Password: wm
  • DB: wm
• Volume:
  • db_data for persistent storage

🔹 db-init

Database configuration via IBM webMethods's DCC tool

• Image: dcc:10.15
• Entry point: Overridden to run custom init command
• Command:
  • Initializes the MWS DB schema using dbConfigurator.sh
  • Signals readiness by touching /tmp/ready
• Healthcheck:
  • Waits for /tmp/ready before allowing dependent services to start

---

🗂️ Volumes

Volume	Purpose
db_data	PostgreSQL persistent data
./mws/volumes	MWS runtime volumes
./msr/server	IS/MSR server runtime data
./msr/license	License files for MSR
./dcc/logs	DCC log output
./dcc/init	Shared signaling and init data

---

🌐 Networks

Network	Description
localdev	Shared network for all services

---

🧹 Stopping & Cleanup

To stop the services:

docker-compose down

To stop and clean everything including volumes:

docker-compose down --volumes --remove-orphans

---

🧪 Troubleshooting

• Check logs with:

  docker-compose logs -f

• If mws-app or msr won't start, check whether db-init completed successfully (look for /tmp/ready or logs in dcc/logs).

---

📌 Notes

• Replace image names (mws:10.15, msr:10.15, dcc:10.15) with your actual image names or tags as required.
• Ensure your license files and server directories exist where expected.
