The docker folder

Files used to build and run our docker containers are defined in the project root folder under the docker subdirectory:

├── docker-compose.yml
├── ldap
│   ├── db
│   │   ├── groups.ldif
│   │   ├── import.sh
│   │   ├── org.ldif
│   │   ├── ou.ldif
│   │   └── people.ldif
│   └── Dockerfile
├── postgresql
│   ├── db
│   │   └── data.sql
│   └── Dockerfile
└── tomcat
    └── Dockerfile

Each subdirectory contains a Dockerfile used to build a Docker image, and sometimes configuration files added to our container at build time using the ADD/COPY directive of our Dockerfile. Additionally some folders may be mounted at run time (mount points are defined in the docker-compose.yml file).

LDAP

This folder basically contains configuration files and container definition to build and run an Open LDAP server with a schema matching our application expectations (test groups, test users bound to this groups and a role branch that may be used in the future)

NB: LDAP schema configuration may vary in our application based on the selected environment. From this, we intentionally introduce some differences in the container schema configuration compared to production to make sure that the configuration parameters offer the flexibility we want.

Postgresql

This folder defines a Postgresql Docker image (version 9.5). At run-time, tables are created by the data.sql script places in the db folder.

Tomcat

This folder defines a Tomcat server used to run our application. This container is used mainly to deploy our application at build-time and run integration-tests against the API
