Here are the instructions for building and running a docker image of the VDMS Server.

Here are a few methods for building the docker image as vdms:latest:

• Build image as-is:

  cd base
  Dockerfile | docker build -t vdms:latest .

  or build from main VDMS directory using:

  docker build -f docker/base/Dockerfile -t vdms:latest .

• Build image under a proxy:

  cd base
  Dockerfile | docker build -t vdms:latest --build-arg=http_proxy --build-arg=https_proxy .

  or build from main VDMS directory using:

  docker build --build-arg=http_proxy --build-arg=https_proxy -f docker/base/Dockerfile -t vdms:latest .

• Build image with Kubernetes client support:

  cd base
  Dockerfile | docker build -t vdms:latest --build-arg USE_K8S="on" .

  or build from main VDMS directory using:

  docker build --build-arg=http_proxy --build-arg=https_proxy --build-arg USE_K8S="on" -f docker/base/Dockerfile  -t vdms:latest .

To run the docker image as a container, include --net=host argument or specify a port to map to the default VDMS port (55555).

Here are a few methods for running the container:

• Run the image interactively in Host Mode:

  docker run -it --net=host vdms:latest

  The --net=host argument runs container in Host Mode which shares the container's network namespace with the host. When using Host Mode, it can provide near bare-metal speed but be cautious of port conflicts.

• Run the image in Host Mode but detached from your bash:

  docker run -d --net=host vdms:latest

• Run the image detached from your bash with host port 55555 mapped to VDMS default port.

  docker run -d -p 55555:55555 vdms:latest
