Legend

1. 🤔 - A "thinker" icon means that a little extra thinking may be required. Perhaps you'll need to make some choices. Perhaps it's an optional step.
2. ✏️ - A "pencil" icon means that the instructions may need modification before performing.
3. ⚠️ - A "warning" icon means that something tricky is happening, so pay attention.

Expectations

Space

This repository and demonstration require 1 GB free disk space.

Time

Budget 20 minutes to get the demonstration up-and-running, depending on CPU and network speeds.

Background knowledge

This repository assumes a working knowledge of:

1. Docker

Demonstrate using Docker

Configuration

Configuration values specified by environment variable or command line parameter.

• SENZING_OPT_IBM_DIR

Volumes

1. ✏️ Specify the directory containing the Senzing installation. Use the same SENZING_VOLUME value used when performing "How to initialize Senzing with Docker". Example:

   export SENZING_VOLUME=/opt/my-senzing

   1. Here's a simple test to see if SENZING_VOLUME is correct. The following commands should return file contents. Example:

      cat ${SENZING_VOLUME}/g2/g2BuildVersion.json
      cat ${SENZING_VOLUME}/data/3.0.0/libpostal/data_version

   2. ⚠️ macOS - File sharing must be enabled for SENZING_VOLUME.

   3. ⚠️ Windows - File sharing must be enabled for SENZING_VOLUME.

2. Specify directory for IBM DB2 drivers. Example:

   export SENZING_OPT_IBM_DIR=${SENZING_VOLUME}/opt-ibm

Docker network

🤔 Optional: Use if docker container is part of a docker network.

1. List docker networks. Example:

   sudo docker network ls

2. ✏️ Specify docker network. Choose value from NAME column of docker network ls. Example:

   export SENZING_NETWORK=*nameofthe_network*

3. Construct parameter for docker run. Example:

   export SENZING_NETWORK_PARAMETER="--net ${SENZING_NETWORK}"

Run docker container

1. Run docker container. Example:

   sudo docker run \
     --rm \
     --volume ${SENZING_OPT_IBM_DIR}:/opt/IBM \
     ${SENZING_NETWORK_PARAMETER} \
     senzing/db2-driver-installer
