This repo contains a set of Docker containers for building and running MarkLogic server.

There are three images

• coreos is the Fedora 23 base system
• runner is a minimal container for running MarkLogic Server
• builder is configured to allow you to build the server

The coreos container installs Fedora 23 and sets up Java. It creates one non-root user that you can use when docker execing into the container.

There are three build arguments:

• java a path to a Java RPM to install, you must supply this
• user the name of the non-root user, defaults to devuser
• uid the UID of the non-root user, defaults to 1000

By setting the user and uid arguments appropriately, you can allow the user logged into the container to update volumes mounted on it.

The runner container installs and runs MarkLogic server. You must supply a MarkLogic RPM to the marklogic build argument. You can download them from http://developer.marklogic.com/

This container also installs the MarkLogic Python API.

There are two build arguments:

• marklogic a path to a MarkLogic RPM to install, you must supply this
• user the name of the non-root user, defaults to devuser and must be the same as the user passed to the coreos image

The builder container extends the coreos container with build tools sufficient to compilee MarkLogic Server. (Assuming, of course, that you have access to the sources.)

There’s a single build argument:

• user the name of the non-root user, defaults to devuser and must be the same as the user passed to the coreos image

Optional: two scripts exists to 'pull' these files during the build. They are meant to be augmented and are only called if apprprate rpms are not found. The getjava.sh script will pull a java 1.8_60 JDK from oracle. The getml.sh script will simply remind you to obtain a MarkLogic rpm

A build script is provided in bin.

Usage:

./build.sh [coreos|runner|builder] {--tag tag} {--user devuser} {--uid 1000}

This builds one of 3 variants. You must build coreos first. If you specify a tag for the coreos image, then you’ll have to modify the Dockerfiles for the other images.

Enjoy. Free as in 'Just Free, take it or leave it'. Maybe 'Free as in Beer' (tm)(c)(R)(wtf) -- but I couldnt ever figure out those fancypants lawyer terms, they seem to mean the opposite of what they seem to mean the opposite of what they seem to mean, or the other way around.
