Containerized confluent run

Synopsys

Containerized confluent image with docker

Solution

To create a containerized confluent image with docker we need to edit the custom file "/confluent/container/Dockerfile

Constrains:

Container must be run privileged. Container must be run with the ' --net = host' flag.

Dockerfile customization

1  FROM almalinux:8

Modify above line with the desired OS.

Please note that Lenovo does NOT HOST any OS. The OS will be taken from a repository outside of Lenovo control.

The next lines can be edited with the specific package manager commands.

These will pull and install the dependencies needed to run confluent.

2   RUN   ["yum", "-y", "update"]

3   RUN   ["rpm", "-ivh", "https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/latest/el8/x86_64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.x86_64.rpm"]

4   RUN   ["yum", "-y", "install", "lenovo-confluent", "tftp-server", "openssh-clients", "openssl", "vim-enhanced", "iproute"]

At the end we have the last two commands:

5   ADD runconfluent.sh /bin/

6   CMD ["/bin/bash", "/bin/runconfluent.sh"]

These will add to bin and run the "runconfluent.sh" file that will install and run confluent. (default /confluent/container/runconfluent.sh)
