SAP IoT: Gateway Edge MQTT & REST Docker

[david_sooter2]

Dear SAP IOT Experts,

I would like to run the Gateway in a docker container to allow for flexibility in deployment (ex: kubernetes cluster)

I tried to get it running and it work on my local machine but as soon as i start it in docker it seams to get stuck while starting up.

As far as i can tell its trying to connect to the cockpit system and is not succeding.

Does anyone out there have a working Docker image? I cant image im the first one that has thought to run it in Docker. Or are there any limitations i am not aware of?

my docker config is very minimalistic atm its more of a POC 🙂

FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine3.9

WORKDIR /gateway

COPY . .
RUN chmod 777 -R /gateway

EXPOSE 8699
ENTRYPOINT ["sh","gateway.sh"]

Would be greateful for any tips or support. And would make the working images available to all 🙂

Kind regards

Hi David,

running Edge Platform MQTT / REST in a docker container is not an officially supported use case currently. However, please check out the product roadmap of SAP IoT and Edges Services for upcoming innovations in this regards.

For your PoC, can you verify all runtime and network requirements of Edge Platform are fulfilled within your container environment?

Best,
Jan Patrick
