How to use the dpaa® lab

To host your own lab, you will need to fulfill a number of requirements.

In any machine/server available to you:

1. Install and Run Docker Desktop 
2. Create a new empty directory named, for example, "DPAppliance1". 
3. Change into the new directory and create a new YML file named "docker-compose.yml" and then copy and paste the docker-compose.yml template from below to get started.
4. Replace the capitalized markers in curly braces with your specified values for that appliance.  For each appliance you create for your lab, you will need to change the ports to unique values.
5. If your docker appliances will be running on a different machine than the one from which you are testing DPAA®, you may need to open a firewall to the host/port combinations for access to the appliances. 
6. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory, and enter the following command:

docker compose up -d

For each appliance, repeat steps 2 - 6.

To stop a running Docker appliance using these instructions:

• Open a terminal.
• Navigate to the directory where the docker-compose.yml file is located for any given appliance.
• Enter the following command:

docker compose down
