beevelop/nifi repository overview

⁠Apache NiFi v0.4.1

⁠Sample Usage

From your checkout directory:

1. Build the image

docker build -t beevelop/apache-nifi .

1. Run the image

docker run -i -t --rm \
    	-p 8443:443
    -v ${cert_path}:/opt/certs \
    -v $(readlink -f ./authorized-users.xml):/opt/nifi/conf/authorized-users.xml \
    -e KEYSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/keystore.jks \
    -e KEYSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
    -e KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=password \
    -e TRUSTSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/truststore.jks \
    -e TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=password \
    -e TRUSTSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
    beevelop/apache-nifi

-p 8443:443 exposes the UI at port 8443 on the Docker host system

-v ${cert_path}:/opt/certs maps the 'cert_path' location on the host system to the container as the source of the relevant keystores

-i -t Allocates a TTY and keeps STDIN open

-v $(readlink -f ./authorized-users.xml):/opt/nifi/conf/authorized-users.xml Maps an authorized-users.xml into the container over the default one provided
