Docker on Linux

Following description applies to the installation of Docker on Linux.

For other operating systems, the commands or steps must be changed accordingly.

Usually, Linux admin-rights are necessary for Docker-installations.

The most commands therefore require a "sudo" in front or have to be executed as a root user.

First installation

Download / copy IRIS

You receive a download link for IRIS from our support.

To upload the container-image, you can upload the file via scp into the home directory of the Docker-host:

scp iris-1.X.X.tar.gz <username>@<servername>:~/

Alternatively, donwloading directlyon the machine via download link:

wget <downloadlink>

load IRIS Docker image

docker load -i iris-1.X.X.tar.gz

prepare volumes and networks

docker volume create hsc-db

docker volume create hsc-config

docker network create hsc-network

create container from image

docker create --name iris --network bridge --hostname iris --publish 127.0.0.1:8080:443 --volume hsc-db:/var/lib/mysql --volume hsc-config:/etc/heidler --restart unless-stopped iris:1.X.X

connect network

docker network connect hsc-network iris

start container

docker start iris

check container logs

docker logs iris

An entry should be displayed in the logs that sounds similar to:

2023-02-08 17:22:38.926 -08 WARN  [main] (init.ServiceInitializer:166) - A new user has been created.:
Username: root@localhost
Password: P6oV-GK3GYsdnn_5usDg1tBmn00
Please login with this user and change your password immediately!

Please note this username + password immediately.

If this entry does not appear, wait a moment und execute the command "docker logs iris" again.

configure reverse proxy

There already has to be a configured reverse proxy with HTTPS set up.

Therefore, we can recommend the ssl-config generator from Mozilla: https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/

Please check before the configuration of the connection nginx -> iris, if a valid HTTPS connection can be established with a static site.

After that, you can change the "location /" entry under nginx like following.

   location / {

       proxy_pass      https://localhost:8080;

       proxy_read_timeout               300;

       proxy_connect_timeout            300;

       proxy_set_header                 X-Real-IP                                       $remote_addr;

       proxy_set_header                 X-Forwarded-For                                 $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

       proxy_set_header                 Host                                            $host;

       proxy_ssl_verify                 off;

   }
