Start Portal Service

Before starting light-portal services, the light-portal and its related repositories need to be built. Please follow the instructions in build portal tutorial.

Once light-portal is built, you can start the command side and query side services with a docker-compose command.

The docker-compose-cloud.yml is located at ~/networknt/light-config-test/light-portal folder.

If this is the very first time to run the docker-compose, you might need to create the localnet docker network with the following command. This is a one-time task only.

docker network create localnet

docker-compose-cloud.yml

version: "2"
#
# Services

services:

  hybrid-command:
      build: ./hybrid-command/
      volumes:
        - ./hybrid-command/cloud/config:/config
        - ./hybrid-command/service:/service
      ports:
        - 8443:8443
      networks:
          - localnet

  hybrid-query:
      build: ./hybrid-query/
      volumes:
        - ./hybrid-query/cloud/config:/config
        - ./hybrid-query/service:/service
      ports:
        - 8442:8442
      networks:
          - localnet


# Networks

networks:
  localnet:
    # driver: bridge
    external: true

As you can see, two services are included. Both read/write corresponding config files and service jar files with volume mappings.

The hybrid-command service listens to port 8443, and hybrid-query service listens to port 8442.

You can browse the config folders for each service. They are using the cloud testing eventuate event store so that there is no need to start the eventuate services locally.

To start the docker-compose:

cd ~/networknt/light-config-test/light-portal
docker-compose -f docker-compose-cloud.yml up

Once the services are up and running, you can follow the host-menu tutorial to confirm the portal services are working.
