Create a Docker container

To create a Docker container that runs the adapter, follow the instructions below.

1. Create the following Dockerfile in the directory where you want to create and run the container.

   Note: Dockerfile is the recommended name of the file if you want to make use of the available autobuilder. For more information, see official Docker documentation (https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/)

   FROM ubuntu:22.04

   WORKDIR /

   ENV \

   # Update the EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE and PLATFORM fields based on your system.

   EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE=<EdgeSystemType> \

   PLATFORM=<linux-x64,linux-arm64,linux-arm> \

   PORT="5590" \

   DOTNET_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER=true

   # Install dependencies and curl in case you would like to configure the adapter from the container

   RUN apt-get update \

   && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \

   ca-certificates \

   libc6 \

   libgcc-s1 \

   libicu70 \

   libssl3 \

   libstdc++6 \

   tzdata \

   zlib1g \

   curl

   # Add a user

   RUN useradd --home-dir /home/app --create-home --shell /bin/bash app && \

   mkdir /usr/share/OSIsoft && \

   chown app -R /usr/share/OSIsoft

   # Remove APT tools

   RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/cache/apt/archives/* /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/doc/* \

   && rm -rf /usr/bin/apt /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/dpkg /usr/bin/dpkg-deb /usr/bin/dpkg-divert

   RUN echo "#!/bin/bash \n/${EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE}_${PLATFORM}/OSIsoft.Data.System.Host --port:${PORT}" > ./entrypoint.sh

   RUN chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh

   USER app

   ADD ./${EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE}_${PLATFORM}.tar.gz .

   ENTRYPOINT ["./entrypoint.sh"]

   Tip: If you are unsure of what values to use for EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE and PLATFORM fields, you can use the tar.gz file as reference. For example, if you are using the <adapter>_linux-arm64.tar.gz file for your container, the EDGE_SYSTEM_TYPE is <adapter> and PLATFORM is linux-arm64.

2. Copy the appropriate tar.gz file (for example, <adapter>-platform_.tar.gz ) to the same directory as the Dockerfile.

3. Run the following command line in the same directory (sudo may be necessary):

   docker build -t <adapter> .

   Note: You can change <adapter> to a preferred name for the container.

   There needs to be a space between the adapter and the period.
