Docker build for SDL Core

SmartDeviceLink Core Docker

Docker build for SDL Core.

Currently only supports master and develop branches

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Install Docker > 1.8

Create a new Docker container

Master

$ docker run -d -p 12345:12345 -p 8080:8080 -p 8087:8087 -p 3001:3001 --name core smartdevicelink/core:latest

Develop

$ docker run -d -p 12345:12345 -p 8080:8080 -p 8087:8087 -p 3001:3001 --name core smartdevicelink/core:develop

Ports

Docker automatically creates a port mapping to the following ports in the container:

container port	description
3001	Port exposing core's file system
8087	Websocket port used by the HMI to communicate with SDL Core
8080	Serves static web HMI
12345	SDL Core's primary port

Docker will automatically map the exposed ports for you when you use the -P flag. If the Websocket port 8087 is mapped to anything other than 8087 in the container then you must supply the HMI_WEBSOCKET_ADDRESS enviroment variable when Docker is ran. This is required so that the HMI can communicate with Core. For example if you wanted to map port 9001 of your machine to the container's port 8087 then you would set the HMI_WEBSOCKET_ADDRESS using the -e flag as follows:

$ docker run -d -P -p 9001:8087 -e "HMI_WEBSOCKET_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:9001"  --name core smartdevicelink/core:latest

Accessing SDL Core's files remotely

Typically SDL Core and its corresponding HMI exist on the same machine. For development this is not always the case. In the Docker image there is an NGINX server that exposes the contents of the storage folder /usr/sdl/bin/storage over port 3001. These contents can be access using the absolute path as it existis on the core machine. For example if core is running on your local machine, a SetAppIcon request would respond with the value /usr/sdl/bin/storage/SyncProxyTester584421907/icon.png. The server on port 3001 can be used to access this file remotely: http://localhost:3001/usr/sdl/bin/storage/SyncProxyTester584421907/icon.png/

Build image from DockerFile

Note: SDL Core will take some time to compile

$ docker build -t my-build-tag .

TODO

• Set-up automated builds and tags based on SDL_Core repository
