Oracle WebLogic domain in volume on Docker

This project creates a Docker image which contains an Oracle WebLogic domain image. The image extends the WebLogic install image and builds an WebLogic domain persisted to a host volume.

How to build and run

This project offers a sample Dockerfile and scripts to build an Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.3 domain in volume.

Building the Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.3 developer install image

A prerequisite to building the 12213-weblogic-domain-in-volume image is having an Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.3 install image. The Dockerfile and scripts to build the image are under the folder, ../../OracleWebLogic/dockerfile/12.2.1.3. For more information, see the README file.

IMPORTANT: If you are building the Oracle WebLogic image, you must first download the Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.3 binary and place it in the folder, ../OracleWebLogic/dockerfiles/12.2.1.3.

    $ cd ../../OracleWebLogic/dockerfiles
    $ sh buildDockerImage.sh
    Usage: buildDockerImage.sh -v [version] [-d | -g ] [-s]
    Builds a Docker Image for Oracle WebLogic Server.

    Parameters:
       -v: version to build. Required.
       Choose : 12.2.1.3
       -d: creates image based on 'developer' distribution
       -g: creates image based on 'generic' distribution
       -c: enables Docker image layer cache during build
       -s: skips the MD5 check of packages

    * select one distribution only: -d, or -g

Providing the Administration Server user name and password and Database username and password

The administration server user name and password must be supplied in a domain_security.properties file. This file should be located in a HOST directory that you will map at Docker runtime with the -v option to the image directory /u01/oracle/properties. The properties file enables the scripts to configure the correct authentication for the WebLogic Administration Server.

The format of the domain_security.properties file is key=value pair:

    username=myadminusername
    password=myadminpassword

Note: Oracle recommends that the domain_securtity.properties file be deleted or secured after the container and the WebLogic Server are started so that the user name and password are not inadvertently exposed.

Build the WebLogic Domain Image

  1. To build the 12.2.1.3 WebLogic domain image, run:

    $ docker build -f Dockerfile -t 12213-weblogic-domain-in-volume .

  2. Verify you now have this image in place with:

`$ docker images`

Start the container

Start a container from the image created in step 1. You can override the default values of the following parameters during runtime in the ./properties/domain.properties file. The script ./container-scripts/setEnv.sh sets the environment variables to configure the domain. The properties set as environment variables are:

  * `DOMAIN_NAME`
  * `ADMIN_PORT`
  * `ADMIN_NAME`
  * `ADMIN_HOST`
  * `MANAGED_SERVER_PORT`
  * `MANAGED_SERVER_NAME_BASE`
  * `CONFIGURED_MANAGED_SERVER_COUNT`
  * `CLUSTER_NAME`
  * `CLUSTER_TYPE`
  * `PRODUCTION_MODE_ENABLED`
  * `DOMAIN_HOST_VOLUME`

NOTE: When you set the DOMAIN_NAME, the DOMAIN_HOME=/u01/oracle/user_projects/domains/$DOMAIN_NAME.

IMPORTANT: The domain directory needs to be externalized by using data volumes (-v option). The Administration Server as well as the Managed Servers need to read/write to the same DOMAIN_HOME.

We are supplying scripts run_admin_server.sh and run_managed_server.sh to facilitate setting the environment variables defined in the property files and running the admin server and managed server containers.

Start a container to launch the Administration and Managed Servers from the image created in step 1.

To run an Administration Server container, call:

    `$ sh run_admin_server.sh`

To run Managed Server with base name MS pass in to the scrtipt run_managed_server.sh the name of the managed server you want to run and the host port that will be mapped to the managed server port defined in MANAGED_SERVER_PORT.

To run managed server one with name MS1 and mapped to host port 98001 call:

    `$ sh run_managed_server.sh MS1 98001`

To run managed server two with name MS2 and mapped to host port 98002 call:

    `$ sh run_managed_server.sh MS2 98002`

Access the Administration Console:

`$ docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' <container-name>`
    This returns the IP address of the container (for example, `xxx.xx.x.x`).  Go to your browser and enter `http://xxx.xx.x.x:9001/console`

    Because the container ports are mapped to the host port, you can access it using the `hostname` as well.
