Docker container for EJBCA

Description

EJBCA CA server container is targeted for using in test environments and for experimentation. Do not use for production! The container will have hardcoded credentials. Therefore the container image should not be uploaded to public Docker Hub. Build and use in restricted environment only.

Building the container

First clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/tsaarni/docker-ejbca.git
cd docker-ejbca

Then download all dependencies

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ejbca/ejbca6/ejbca_6_3_1_1/ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1.zip
wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz

Next re-package EJBCA source release from .zip to .tar.gz (Docker does not support .zip)

unzip -q ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1.zip
tar zcf ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1.tar.gz ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1
rm -rf ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1 ejbca_ce_6_3_1_1.zip

Finally build the container image

docker build --tag ejbca .

Known problem: Build fails randomly during ant install. Workaround: try build again.

Using the container

See user manual.

User manual is also included inside container image. It is printed when running the container with docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] without providing command or when providing help as the command.
