RUNNING THE DOCKER IMAGE

ON DOCKER

If you want your performance data to be persistent you need to create data directory in your host and mount it to /sar2html/data like data folder below:

docker run -p 5000:5000 -v /data:/sar2html/data -d -h sar2html.localdomain cemtan/sar2html:4.0.0

Otherwise you may directly run the image:

docker run -p 5000:5000 -d -h sar2html.localdomain cemtan/sar2html:4.0.0

ON KUBERNETES

Simply run

kubectl run sar2html --image=cemtan/sar2html:4.0.0 --port=5000 --expose

Or download repository and enter the directory

git clone https://github.com/cemtan/sar2html.git

cd sar2html/conf/kubernetes

• Deploy docker image

  • If you want your performance data to be persistent you need to create directory for them in your host:

    kubectl apply -f sar2html-pvc.yaml

    kubectl apply -f sar2html-deploy-persistent.yaml

  • Otherwise you may directly run the image:

    kubectl apply -f sar2html-deploy-ephemeral.yaml

  • Expose your pod.

  • For local installation of kubernetes (like minikube, microk8s...):

    kubectl apply -f sar2html-service-nodeport.yaml

  • For kubernetes which is able to use loadbalancer:

    kubectl apply -f sar2html-service-loadbalancer.yaml

ON OPENSHIFT CONTAINER PLATFORM

Download repository and enter the directory

git clone https://github.com/cemtan/sar2html.git

cd sar2html/conf/ocp

On master node create template from the sar2html.yaml

oc create -f sar2html.yaml

Now you may search for "SAR Database and Plotter" in Service Catalog and you may deploy sar2html through web-console.

CREATING THE DOCKER IMAGE

Download repository and enter the directory

git clone https://github.com/cemtan/sar2html.git
