docker-cd-services

This repository contains files used to run Tridion Content Delivery microservices in Docker containers.

Installing

Before you begin

In addition to the files in this repository, you will also need the Tridion installation files. Since these files are proprietary and commercial, they are not included in this repository. Specifically, you will need the Database folder from the GA installation and either the Content Delivery folder or of the latest cumulative hotfix for the CD services. The hotfix is highly recommended, if available for the version you are trying to run.

Steps

The following steps are needed for the initial setup of the containers:

1. Clone the repository -- or download it and extract to a folder of your choice.
2. Copy the standalone folder from the installation media to each of the service directories (e.g. copy release\discovery\standalone into docker-cd-services\discovery\).
3. Add your cd_licenses.xml file to the ext-config folder of each service.
4. Copy discovery_registration.jar from release\discovery\registration to the discovery\ext-config directory.
5. Currently, the database image (broker-db) does not contain any Tridion databases. The easiest way to fix that is to start the container and then run the standard database installation script from your Tridion installation media:
   • Run docker-compose up -d broker-db in a command prompt from the root directory. This will start the database container with Microsoft SQL Server running on port 1434.
   • Run the following in PowerShell from the Database\mssql folder of your Tridion installation media (Note: this can only be done on a Windows machine): & '.\Install Content Data Store.ps1' -NonInteractive -DatabaseServer 'localhost,1434' -DatabaseName broker -AdministratorUserPassword '5STuiNhD#T6j' -DatabaseUserName broker_user -DatabaseUserPassword 'IDbC%h$F5i2M'

Starting the containers

Once you have built the images, you can start the stack by running docker-compose up -d in a command prompt from the root directory..

Stopping the containers

To stop all of the containers in the stack, enter docker-compose down in a command prompt from the root directory.

Configuring

The following configuration settings are available in the .env file:

Variable name	Description
database_port_on_host	The port to use on the host for the database. Defaults to 1434 to avoid conflicts if you are already running Microsoft SQL Server on the host (default port for SQL Server is 1433)
database_sa_password	The password to use for the sa user. Defaults to a generated strong password. If you change this before installation, don't forget to modify the AdministratorUserPassword parameter in the PowerShell command to match.
service_version	The version of the Tridion services that you are using. This is mainly used as a tag for the images, allowing you to create multiple stacks for different versions of Tridion.
