Get a server and database
Here is an example with AWS for database and server, basically for this example you need a Unix-based server (or Mac), and a postgres (recommended), or mysql or oracle database. Install Docker as well
Here is an example of using a postgres database on docker
Install the container
- Install docker (note, using a server with systemd is easier)
See if docker is running

Create a directory to mount files and folder in and out of container. You might have one of these directories that is shared for ws/ui/daemon.
2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer 2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot/opt/grouper/grouperWebapp/WEB-INF/classes
- Create a local database. Preferred is postgres, but could be mysql or oracle too. (e.g. mysql, utf8, bin collation, create a user and password, and grant all to the new database from username and password)
Set grouper.hibernate.properties. Note, for DB URL, "localhost" is the container itself, not the enclosing server. You need to use an IP address that the container can communicate with. Look in the grouper.hibernate.properties for documentation on setting up the url.
2.5 $ vi /opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot/opt/grouper/grouperWebapp/WEB-INF/classes/grouper.hibernate.properties hibernate.connection.url = jdbc:mysql://192.168.86.71:3306/grouper_v2_5?useSSL=false hibernate.connection.username = grouper_v2_5 hibernate.connection.password = ************ # what version should we auto install DDL up to. You should put the major and minor version here (e.g. 2.5.*). Or you could go to a build number if you like, # or nothing to not auto DDL. e.g. 2.5.32 or 2.5.* # {valueType: "string"} registry.auto.ddl.upToVersion = 2.5.* # UI basic auth is for quick start. Set to false when you migrate to shib or something else grouper.is.ui.basicAuthn=true grouper.is.ws.basicAuthn=true grouper.is.scim.basicAuthn = true
If you cant connect to the database, go in the container (instructions later ) and test the communication with telnet
grouperContainer $ docker exec -it grouper-daemon /bin/bash [root@0d9054515bed WEB-INF]# yum install telnet [root@0d9054515bed WEB-INF]# telnet database-2.cstlzkqw179p.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com 3306 Trying 172.30.3.40...

Strategy Containers Notes SEPARATE-CONTAINERS ui
ws
daemon
scimMore like a production env
Uses more memory
Can control, bring up down, configure each separately
Need to manage ports. Generally 443 for UI, 8443 for WS, 8444 for ScimALL-IN-ONE all Runs everything in one container. Don't do this in prod
Uses less memory
When anything is up or down all is up or down
Can use 443 for UI, WS, ScimUI-WS ui-ws

You can have a hybrid and put whatever components in whatever containers you wantConfigure logging
There are a few strategies to the maturity level 0 logging. If you have all grouper services in one container for your host, create one log dir on the host:2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer/logs 2.5 $ chmod o+rwx /opt/grouperContainer/logs
If you have multiple containers in a host, then make a log dir for each, and you will change the docker run command to "mount" the inner dir (/opt/grouper/logs) to the outer dir. The chmod is needed if docker runs as a different user. On macs you might not need the chmod.
(SEPARATE-CONTAINERS) 2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ws-logs 2.5 $ chmod o+rwx /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ws-logs 2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-daemon-logs 2.5 $ chmod o+rwx /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-daemon-logs 2.5 $ mkdir -p /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ui-logs 2.5 $ chmod o+rwx /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ui-logs
Below you will see who writes to logs (docker user), and you can change the owner and permissions
Make sure this env variable is provided (v2.5.26+):
-e GROUPER_LOG_TO_HOST=true
Allow grouper db config from all. You can decide if you trust your authn and mfa if you want to leave this open, or lock it down to your vpn or whatever.
2.5 $ vi /opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot/opt/grouper/grouperWebapp/WEB-INF/classes/grouper-ui.properties grouperUi.configurationEditor.sourceIpAddresses = 0.0.0.0/0
Self-signed SSL (no need to do this anymore, this is now an env var instead)
-e GROUPER_SELF_SIGNED_CERT=true
Make a Dockerfile and subcontainer (this is maturity level 1)
Take out shib, adjust the proxy directives (this is now an env var)
We need to setup the docker run commands. There are bunch of choices here, e.g. are you running ui/ws/daemon in one container, or a container for each? This assumes the starting point on host is /opt/grouperContainer, but could be other places
Docker run option Sample Description --detach run in background --mount for logs --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs mount logs if one grouper container on host --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ui-logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs mount ui logs if multiple grouper containers on host --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ws-logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs mount ws logs if multiple grouper containers on host --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-daemon-logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs mount daemon logs if multiple grouper containers on host --mount for overlays --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot,dst=/opt/grouper/slashRoot this slashRoot directory will take any files and overlay into the container
e.g. to overlay the grouper-www.conf file, put it in the host in
/opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot/etc/httpd/conf.d/grouper-www.conf--name --name grouper-daemon
--name grouper-ui
--name grouper-wsput a name label for the container that you can use to differentiate from other containers
in your docker service. generally we use grouper-ui, grouper-daemon, grouper-ws
you can use whatever you want--hostname --hostname myGrouperUi2 sets the hostname which is used in logs and audits -e -e GROUPER_SELF_SIGNED_CERT=true
-e GROUPER_MAX_MEMORY='3g'
-e GROUPER_RUN_SHIB_SP=falseadd in environment variables documented here timezone -e TZ=America/New_York might want to add a timezone network settings --net=host depending on how your containers need to talk to each other, adjust
the docker network settings. See Docker documentationrestart policies --restart always automatically start containers (e.g. after reboot). See Docker documentation for various options. port mapping --publish 443:443 listen on the host port and translate that to the container port
generally you want apache 443--publish 80:80 if you want apache non-ssl (maybe external load balancer on trusted network?) --publish 8009:8009 if you want to publish the jk tomcat port for an apache outside of the container --publish 8443:443 8443 on outside if you have multiple containers on one host and 443 is already used docker-image i2incommon/grouper:2.5.XX put the docker image label from grouper if you dont have a Dockerfile and subcontainer my-grouper-2.5.XX:latest put the docker image label of you subcontainer if you made one from Dockerfile or grouper image command ui

(SEPARATE-CONTAINERS) Make your WS docker run command in a shell script. Use the table above to customize. The one below is just an example.
Note, since the UI and WS are on the same host, we use the host port of 8443 for web services. In production they will have different domain names and 443 so this is for dev only2.5 $ vi /opt/grouperContainer/grouperWsDockerRun.sh #!/bin/bash (or whatever shell) docker run --detach --restart always --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-ws-logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs \ --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot,dst=/opt/grouper/slashRoot -e GROUPER_SELF_SIGNED_CERT='true' \ --name grouper-ws --publish 8443:443 i2incommon/grouper:2.5.XX ws 2.5 $ chmod +x /opt/grouperContainer/grouperWsDockerRun.sh
(SEPARATE-CONTAINERS) Make your Daemon docker run command in a shell script. Use the table above to customize. The one below is just an example.

(SEPARATE-CONTAINERS) Make your Scim docker container. Note, Scim is not a commonly used feature of Grouper. Until you need it you should not use it. Note, since the UI and Scim are on the same host, we use the host port of 8444 for scim. In production they will have different domain names and 443 so this is for dev only
2.5 $ vi /opt/grouperContainer/grouperScimDockerRun.sh #!/bin/bash (or whatever shell) docker run --detach --restart always --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/logs,dst=/opt/grouper/logs \ --mount type=bind,src=/opt/grouperContainer/slashRoot,dst=/opt/grouper/slashRoot -e GROUPER_SELF_SIGNED_CERT='true' \ --name grouper-scim --publish 8444:443 i2incommon/grouper:2.5.XX scim 2.5 $ chmod +x /opt/grouperContainer/grouperScimDockerRun.sh 2.5 $ /opt/grouperContainer/grouperScimDockerRun.sh 2.5 $

Set the owner and permissions of the log dir
after running container, see what user the docker container used to write logs to the host. Find a log file and see the owner/group. Then change owner of logs folder to whatever the container writes as (SEPARATE-CONTAINERS) [root@ip-172-30-3-152 logs]# ls -latr /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper-daemon-logs/grouper.log -rw-r-----. 1 polkitd systemd-coredump 0 Apr 8 05:56 grouper.log (ALL-IN-ONE) [root@ip-172-30-3-152 logs]# ls -latr /opt/grouperContainer/logs/grouper.log -rw-r-----. 1 polkitd systemd-coredump 0 Apr 8 05:56 grouper.log (BOTH) [root@ip-172-30-3-152 logs]# chown -R polkitd.systemd-coredump /opt/grouperContainer/logs [root@ip-172-30-3-152 logs]# chmod -R 755 /opt/grouperContainer/logs [root@ip-172-30-3-152 logs]#
