# Docker for Orbeon

*A naive attempt to build docker images for Orbeon Forms*

## Currently working

To create an image of Orbeon CE using its embedded eXist database as its persistence layer:

```
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-ce.yml -f docker-compose-embedded-exist.yml up
```

To create an image of Orbeon PE using its embedded eXist database as its persistence layer:

```
$ cp <my-licence-file> secrets/license.xml
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-pe.yml -f docker-compose-embedded-exist.yml up
```

To create an image of Orbeon CE using a MySQL image as its persistence layer:

```
$ cp <mysql-jdbc-driver> mysql/tomcat/lib/
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-ce.yml -f docker-compose-mysql.yml up
```

To create an image of Orbeon PE using a MySQL image as its persistence layer:

```
$ cp <postgres-jdbc-driver> postgres/tomcat/lib/
$ cp <my-licence-file> secrets/license.xml
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-pe.yml -f docker-compose-postgres.yml up
```
To create an image of Orbeon CE using a Postgres image as its persistence layer:

```
$ cp <postgres-jdbc-driver> postgres/tomcat/lib/
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-ce.yml -f docker-compose-postgres.yml up
```

To create an image of Orbeon PE using a Postgres image as its persistence layer:

```
$ cp <postgres-jdbc-driver> postgres/tomcat/lib/
$ cp <my-licence-file> secrets/license.xml
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-pe.yml -f docker-compose-postgres.yml up
```
## Timezones

Timezones can be tricky to configure using Docker (and docker-compose).

A common way to copy the host timezone in your containers is to share /etc/timezone as a volume:

```
    volumes:
      - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
```

This requires, of course, that both your host and the containers relies on this configuration file.

## TODO

* Download JDBC drivers at build time (with the current version they need to be manually downloaded before the build)
* Download the Orbeon database create scripts at build time (in the current version they are included in this repo)
* Support other persistence layers
* Use secrets for database credentials
* Support modes, authentication, ...
* Add user directories 
* ...
