Starting environment

As we need postgreSQL for the native repository we are not able to use only midPoint image / container itself. There is need to utilize docker compose to define the environment.

docker compose file to start midPoint in docker environment | Github
version: "3.3"

services:
  midpoint_data:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    environment:
     - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=db.secret.pw.007
     - POSTGRES_USER=midpoint
     - POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS=--lc-collate=en_US.utf8 --lc-ctype=en_US.utf8
    networks:
     - net
    volumes:
     - midpoint_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  data_init:
    image: evolveum/midpoint:${MP_VER:-latest}-alpine
    command: >
      bash -c "
      cd /opt/midpoint ;
      bin/midpoint.sh init-native ;
      echo ' - - - - - - ' ;
      bin/ninja.sh -B info >/dev/null 2>/tmp/ninja.log ;
      grep -q \"ERROR\" /tmp/ninja.log && (
      bin/ninja.sh run-sql --create --mode REPOSITORY  ;
      bin/ninja.sh run-sql --create --mode AUDIT
      ) ||
      echo -e '\\n Repository init is not needed...' ;
      "
    depends_on:
     - midpoint_data
    environment:
     - MP_SET_midpoint_repository_jdbcUsername=midpoint
     - MP_SET_midpoint_repository_jdbcPassword=db.secret.pw.007
     - MP_SET_midpoint_repository_jdbcUrl=jdbc:postgresql://midpoint_data:5432/midpoint

  midpoint_server:

    depends_on:

You can find "static" password for the database in the docker compose definition - db.secret.pw.007 . In case we would like to have generated password there would be two containers for initiation - one for generating the password and other for the repository structure init. Password has to be ready before DB starts and structure can be initiated once the DB is running.

This configuration is less secure (known password) but the focus is for "quick start" - the simplicity.

Once this file is stored in the file with "default" name docker-compose.yml the usage is easier. In case other name is used there have to be defined explicitly the filename in all docker compose command with parameter -f.

Basic operation with the docker using compose are following:

operation command

start environemnt

docker compose up

list running containers

docker ps

stop environment

docker compose down

stop & clean related objects

docker compose down -v

Once started the midPoint web GUI is reachable on URL http://localhost:8080/.
