Why Run Domino as a Container?
Standardisation
Start / stop command, locations of folders are the same on allservers
Upgradability
Upgrading a server takes less than a minutePortability
Moving a server becomes a lot easierwww.e-office.com

Demo Start!

The Demo Environment
Demo01
VM: 2 vCPU, 4GB Memory
OS: CentOS 8 Stream
Container Engine: Podman
HCL Software packages in /local/software
Demo02
VM: 1 vCPU, 2GB Memory
OS: Rocky Linux release 8.5 (Green Obsidian)Container Engine: Docker CE

Let’s look at those commands
git clone https://github.com/HCL-TECH-SOFTWARE/dominocontainer.git
Download the latest version of the scripts to your build machine./build.sh cfg
Edit the build configuration. Enter where the software can be found./build.sh domino -capi –verse -nomad
Builds the latest version of Domino (currently Domino 12.0.1 FP1) with the Verse(2.2.0a) libraries, the C-API libraries, Nomad Web on Domino with CentOS 8 Stream asbase image
To build an older version on top of OpenSuse Leap and tag it as latest11:./build.sh domino 11.0.1 FP4 HF356 -from=leap latest11To add the latest version of Traveler to the image:./build.sh traveler

What’s new in the scripts (since Engage)
Create a Nomad + Safelinx container with a file backend ordrivers for a MySQL or MSSQL backend
Nomad server can now be added straight to the Domino serverin version 1.0.5 (still in beta). In the Domino container script thisis achieved by adding –nomad to the build-command
Add drivers for MySQL or MSSQL to Domino (enables HATraveler)
Domino Community Container Image Automation Testing –Test your Domino image before deploying it, to be sure theimage is good => https://github.com/HCL-TECHSOFTWARE/domino-container/tree/develop/testing
Various additions to one-touch setup

Conclusion
Using Domino in a container has a lot of benefits:
Standard installations
Fast installs
Fast updates
Scriptable / scheduled updates
Easy to convert existing servers
No real knowledge of containers needed due to Domino
