Setting up a docker host (Docker Engine)
The docker host is where the docker image is built and the docker
container is run. The Web API project will be built and published as a
docker image first, and then the docker image will be run as a docker
container. The Web APIs is actually hosted and run in the docker
container.
Step 1: Set up a docker host (also called Docker Engine in the
SnapDevelop IDE).
To set up a docker host/Docker Engine, refer to https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/.
In this tutorial, a Docker Engine has already been set up in a
Linux server (suppose its IP address and port number are
172.25.100.20:2375).
Write down this information as it will be required when you build
the Web API project as a docker image (in the later section Publishing Web APIs to
Docker).
Step 2: Make sure the docker host machine can connect to the Appeon
license server (for validating the PowerServer license).
If the docker host machine connects to Internet via a proxy
server, refer to Configure Docker to
use a proxy server for detailed instructions.
