Installing Zowe runtime Docker Image (Technical Preview)
Installing Zowe runtime Docker Image (Technical Preview)
Technical PreviewDocker is a way to create a pre-packaged set of software and configuration called an "Image". Images are used to create Docker "Containers", which run the Image contents in isolation from the other software running on the same system. Docker containers are the runtime environment, and Images are what they are crated from.
The majority of the Zowe server runtime is available in the form of a Docker Image, among other options. To use this image, you must have set up the Zowe server runtime on z/OS, z/OSMF, or both depending on which Zowe components you will use.
If you have not set up the Zowe server runtime on z/OS, please follow the steps found in Docker Installation Roadmap.
This guide assumes you are using Linux or zLinux and have already downloaded Docker itself. If you have not yet done so, please review System Requirements.
Installing via Docker Hub
Zowe's Docker Image is hosted on Docker Hub, which is the default location from which you can use the Docker command line utility to download and update Docker Images. On Docker Hub, the Zowe server runtime image is named ompzowe/server-bundle.
You can download a Docker Image by using the Docker command line utility docker pull imagename
where imagename is one of the following:
- The latest version of zowe,
ompzowe/server-bundle:latest
- The latest version for the platform you are running on, such as
ompzowe/server-bundle:amd64
for Linux - Older versions can be found with the version tag, such as
ompzowe/server-bundle:v1.20.0
- A specific version by referencing the version's digest, such as
ompzowe/server-bundle@sha256:bdbc0617b02e16a452f6d4de50b8b13e56592e309b4c68f9ea52c82303ad57ec
- If you want the source code for all of the content in the image, that is available in the accompanying image with -sources prefix tag, such as
ompzowe/server-bundle:latest-sources
The latest digests can be seen on the image's tags page.
Installing via direct download
You can install a Docker Image that has been downloaded as a .tar
archive from anywhere, such as Zowe.org.
