dockerfile-apache-nifi

Version 1.1.2

Apache NiFi Dockerfile

Provides a Dockerfile and associated scripts for configuring an instance of Apache NiFi to run with certificate authentication.

Sample Usage

From your checkout directory:

1. Build the image

    docker build -t aldrin/apache-nifi .
   

2. Run the image

    docker run -i -t --rm \
   	 	-p 8443:443 \
    	-v ${cert_path}:/opt/certs \
    	-v $(readlink -f ./authorized-users.xml):/opt/nifi/conf/authorized-users.xml \
    	-e KEYSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/keystore.jks \
    	-e KEYSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
    	-e KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=password \
    	-e TRUSTSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/truststore.jks \
    	-e TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=password \
    	-e TRUSTSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
    	aldrin/apache-nifi
   

   -p 8443:443 exposes the UI at port 8443 on the Docker host system

   -v ${cert_path}:/opt/certs maps the 'cert_path' location on the host system to the container as the source of the relevant keystores

   -i -t Allocates a TTY and keeps STDIN open

   -v $(readlink -f ./authorized-users.xml):/opt/nifi/conf/authorized-users.xml Maps an authorized-users.xml into the container over the default one provided

3. Wait for the image to initalize

    2015-03-21 18:14:37,879 INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.web.server.JettyServer NiFi has started. The UI is available at the following URLs:
    2015-03-21 18:14:37,880 INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.web.server.JettyServer https://172.17.0.37:443/nifi
