db2-docker

Dockerfile for creating a Db2-dbms-instance

Introduction

These files allow to create a container-image for Db2-dbms. The image will not be available on docker hub for the reason of licensing. You need to download the installation package by yourself and eplicitely "ACCEPT" the licence by providing a build-argument.

building the image

• Skip this step when using docker-compose
• Download installation package
  • i.e. Db2 Developer Edition db2 express c (you need to create/use an account for this)
• put the installation-package in the folder imageBuild:
  • either by the name db2.tar.gz
  • or by using an arbitrary filename and setting build-argument INSTALLATION_FILE=mydb2package.tar.gz
• explicitely accept the licence by using the build-argument ACCEPT_LICENCE=ACCEPT
• optionally provide the product-variant as build-argument, the default is PRODUCT=EXPRESS_C
• example (execute within the imageBuild-Folder): docker build --build-arg ACCEPT_LICENCE=ACCEPT . -t "db2:9.7"

Docker Compose

The docker-compose.yml-file allows you to create a container from a local image. If the image does not exist yet, it would be build using the imageBuild-Folder as context-Path. Make sure that:

• you put the installation-package within the imageBuild-Folder (its not possible to load files from outside the build-context-path)
• at least accept the licence
• provide an Database-Name, Database-User, Database-Password and:
  • either a SQL-Script for the creation of the database
  • or an old backup of the database.
  • Use the STARTUP_MODE=[createIfNotExists|restorIfNotExists] to set the desired bootstrap-behaviour.
