Introduction#

This document describes the general approach for deploying LUNA PLATFORM in Docker containers.

Docker enables you to create a container that already has the required service, environment for the service, and a minimum number of required tools.

Each LUNA PLATFORM service has its own image. Docker images are the basis of containers. Each container includes libraries required for running services and execution parameters for use within a container runtime.

It is considered that installation is performed on the server with CentOS OS, where LP was not installed.

Docker images of the LP containers are required for the installation. Internet connection is required on the server for Docker images download, or the images should be downloaded on any other device and moved to the server. It is required to manually specify login and password for Docker images downloading.

Firewall and SELinux should be manually configured on the server by the administrator. Their configuration is not described in this document.

No data backup or databases replication is implemented for LP data in this installation.

This document does not include a tutorial for Docker usage. Please refer to the Docker documentation to find more information about Docker:

This document includes an example of LUNA PLATFORM deployment. It implements LUNA PLATFORM minimum power operating for demonstration purposes and cannot be used for the production system.

It is recommended to use orchestration services for the commercial usage of LP. Their utilization is not described in this manual.

All the provided commands should be executed using the Bash shell (when you launch commands directly on the server) or Putty (when you remotely connect to the server). The provided commands were tested with these utilities only. The use of other shells or emulators can lead to errors when executing commands.
