Creating docker image for WSO2 IS Server

So before meddling with configuration, we can run Identity Server right on spot with downloaded zip file [download].


Prerequisites for the server is:

  • Java 7 or 8 

Let's first download the zip and run the server and make sure there's no failure in it.
Unzip and goto folder on terminal and run 

 Unix
$ sh bin/wso2server.sh
Windows
C:/> wso2server.sh

Find the docker image for the sever to run. In this case I realized best to find the lowest possible capacity consuming docker with OS. 

For this I have 3 options as below:
  1. ubuntu + java
    • size on disk: 778MB
    • Ubuntu 16.04 with Java 8
    • docker link
  2. oracle linux + java
    • size on disk: 280MB
    • Oracle Linux 7.5 with Java 8
    • docker link
  3. alpine + java
    • size on disk: 126MB
    • Apline 3.7.1 with Java 8
    • docker link
Then we have to copy Identity Server files to selected image. At this stage I thought of going with ubuntu, since I have worked and tested on it successfully, and it is also the most preferred in testing.

 I got my WSO2 IS 5.6 successfully run on ubuntu using this github repo.
By now you have successfully created wso2 IS docker image, ready to run!
Although, we are not complete yet. We have to prepare the docker to be easily be accepting dynamic config values.

Initial post

What? I would rather call this my tech journal. So this is merely a tracker for reference. Why? Right when I joined LSF (Lanka Software Foundation) is was informed as we are to research on the work we are to start, better if we could maintain blogs. It has been 3 weeks, I have successfully started three articles on pop blog platform; Medium. Non of them are completed thus not published. Because any writer expects best start with a best ending with proper management of the content distribution within the article. (I guess reading that sentence even bore you out. LOL) However it is, I thought to myself, whatever I think or do, is important to be recorded, in free manner. Therefore here I go. What I am into.. Before I get to the bigger picture, let me start with what I am assigned to first. In simple terms it's platform for IAM (Identity Access Management) System for SL Government institutes.  (Of course whatever we build is free and open source, so can be used ...

Implementing IAM Architecture

So here I started developing 'docker-compose.yml' file from ground level. So I will end up with clean configuration. Previous to this I have built own 'WSO2-IS server docker image'. You may may find it on this [ link ]. Following is my Github repo for this full implementation. https://github.com/MrClemRkz/iam-with-wso2 Running WSO2 Identity Server As of the first commit [ link ]  I start off with docker-composer.yml file with just running the same image I had built previously. So when you are to run the file, make sure you have properly installed docker along with docker-compose.  Run the following command to create the wos2-is container up and running. $ docker-compose up -d Here observe the option '-d'. Since this means container is run detached to the running terminal, it won't show any of the IS output of logs on the terminal. There for either you wait a minute or two until the server is ready or run the command without option '-...
