Container Gateway Deployment
The Gateway Docker image is a powerful tool for streamlining integration processes. It includes a minimal base image (Alpine or Red Hat UBI), the latest Boomi-supported version of Java, and code to retrieve, set up, and invoke the Gateway 64-bit installer. This image is ideal for developers and IT professionals who need a reliable and efficient way to manage their integration environments.
The Gateway Docker image simplifies the deployment and management of Gateway nodes within a Docker environment. It supports various configurations and ensures compatibility with Boomi's integration platform.
You can pull the images directly from Docker Hub. Installation instructions are included in the image readme.
What is Docker?
Docker simplifies installation and improves portability of applications such as Boomi’s API Gateway. A Docker image bundles the software along with the files required to run that software including OS, libraries, system tools, etc. into a single package that can be easily installed consistently and confidently, especially when scripting Gateway provisioning as part of automated devops or CI/CD practice.
A Boomi Docker Gateway image includes:
-
A minimal Linux Alpine or Red Hat Universal Base Image (RHEL, UBI, and Alpine)
-
The latest Boomi-supported version of Java
-
Code to retrieve, set up, and execute the Boomi Gateway 64-bit Linux installer.
To use the image, you must be familiar with Docker and you must know how to use Docker commands. See the Docker website and the Docker Engine user guide.
After installing your Gateway with Docker, you will configure and manage the Gateway through the Boomi platform user interface or API, like any other Gateway.
Before you begin
You should be familiar with Docker technology and how to use Docker commands. Docker should be installed on the target servers.
Installation
Navigate to the Docker Hub image and follow the installation instructions included in the readme.
