Deploy Semaphore with Docker

Note: This topic describes how to build your own Docker images from the Semaphore RPM installation files. Starting with Semaphore 5.10.4, Progress distributes pre-built Docker images for all the main Semaphore components --- see Using Progress-supplied Docker images. For new deployments on 5.10.4 or later, use the Progress-supplied images instead of building your own. The instructions in this topic are retained for releases earlier than 5.10.4, and for customers who need to build customised images.

Docker provides a convenient and repeatable way to build isolated, self-contained services without the overhead of standard virtual machines. With a bit of additional work, Semaphore 5 services can be run using Docker. The following sections outline the steps to perform to build your images and containers for Semaphore 5 using Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 8. The docker-examples repository in github has examples using OEL8.

Note: You can see all examples by cloning the GitHub repository at https://github.com/Smartlogic-Semaphore-Limited/docker-examples.
