Build Nice Docker Image

Note

For Nice older than 3.0, see Nice2 and Docker (Nice <v3.0).

Build Docker Image

  1. Change working directory

    cd ${ROOT_DIR_OF_NICE2_REPOSITORY}

  2. Build a specific customer:

    ./gradlew clean customer:${CUSTOMER_NAME}:build -P productionMode=true -x test

    Note

    See Production when doing production builds.

  3. Building the Docker image

    cd customer/${CUSTOMER_NAME}
docker build -t nice .

    The resulting image is called nice.

Deploy Docker Image

  1. Login

    oc whoami -t | docker login registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch -u any --password-stdin

  2. Tag image

    This additionally tags the image named nice with the name registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch/…. nice is the name of the image if you followed the instructions above.

    docker tag nice registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch/nice-${INSTALLATION}/nice

    Tip

    You can also directly build an image with the appropriate name:

    docker build -t ${TAG_NAME}

  3. Deploy image

    docker push registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch/nice-${INSTALLATION}/nice

    Deployment is automatically triggered once image has been pushed.

Pull a Docker Image from VSHN’s Registry

This is useful when you want to copy a Docker image from production for local debugging.

  1. Login

    oc whoami -t | docker login registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch -u any --password-stdin

  2. Find Image

    oc project nice-${INSTALLATION_NAME}
oc get is
NAME      DOCKER REPO                          TAGS      UPDATED
nice      172.30.1.1:5000/nice-stn/nice   latest    2 weeks ago

    Hint

    An oc describe … on RCs and pods will also reveal the used images.

    Nginx image can be found in the project shared-imagestreams.

  3. Pull image

    docker pull registry.apps.openshift.tocco.ch/nice-stn/nice:latest

Start Nice2

Start Nice2:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ${DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG} run

This will start Nice2 with the default options. That is, it will try to use the customer’s dev DB on postgres.tocco.ch.

Should you require to set any additional options, like a custom DB server, create a ${OPTIONS_FILE} and tell docker about it:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 --env-file ${OPTIONS_FILE} ${DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG} run

Minimal ${OPTIONS_FILE} example:

# DB settings
hibernate.main.serverName=postgres.tocco.ch
hibernate.main.user=nice_master
hibernate.main.password=<secret>
hibernate.main.databaseName=nice_master

Tip

You can obtain the settings used for an installation on OpenShift like so:

oc project nice-${INSTALLATION_NAME}
oc set env -c nice dc/nice --list

The output can be used, verbatim, in ${OPTIONS_FILE}.

Schema Upgrade

Run schema upgrade:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ${DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG} dbref

Configuration can be changes as described in Start Nice2.
