Docker Compose

Deployment with Docker Compose​

With Docker Compose you can deploy, orchestrate and scale TimeBase.

  1. Install Docker
  2. Install Docker Compose
  3. Login to registry.deltixhub.com: 
docker login registry.deltixhub.com

  1. Copy and create docker-compose.yml as defined below

  2. Run docker compose:

docker-compose up -d
# docker-compose.yml Enterprise Edition example

version: "3"
services:
  timebase:
    image: "registry.deltixhub.com/quantserver.docker/timebase/server:5.6.68"
    stop_grace_period: 5m
    ulimits:
      nofile:
        soft: 65536
        hard: 65536
    environment:
      - TIMEBASE_SERIAL=${SERIAL_NUMBER}
      - JAVA_OPTS=
        -Xms8g
        -Xmx8g
        -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
        -XX:HeapDumpPath=/timebase-home/timebase.hprof
        -Xlog:gc=debug:file=/timebase-home/GClog-TimeBase.log:time,uptime,level,tags:filecount=5,filesize=100m
    ports:
      - 8011:8011
    volumes:
      - "./timebase-home:/timebase-home"  
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:8011 || exit 1

  timebase-admin:
    image: "registry.deltixhub.com/quantserver.docker/timebase/ws-server:1.2.74"
    environment:
      - JAVA_OPTS=
        -Xmx1g
        -Dserver.port=8099
        -Dtimebase.url=dxtick://timebase:8011
        -Dserver.compression.enabled=true
        -Dserver.compression.mime-types=text/html,text/css,application/javascript,application/json
    ports:
      - 8099:8099
    depends_on:
      - timebase

Configuration​

You can configure TimeBase via Java system properties and in admin.properties configuration file.

Java system properties​

You can configure TimeBase by passing Java environment variable as JAVA_OPTS in docker-compose file:

# Example
    environment:
      - TIMEBASE_SERIAL=${SERIAL_NUMBER} # for Enterprise Edition
      - JAVA_OPTS=
        -Xms8g
        -Xmx8g
        -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
        -XX:HeapDumpPath=/timebase-home/timebase.hprof

admin.properties​

You can configure selected TimeBase properties in admin.properties configuration file and place it in timebase-home\config\ folder. In docker-compose.yml, mount this folder to use admin.properties configurations. 

# Example
    volumes:
      - "./timebase-home:/timebase-home"

In admin.properties you can configure host, port, version, and other TimeBase parameters.

Example 
# Example of admin.properties file
TimeBase.host=localhost
TimeBase.port=8011
TimeBase.version=5.0
TimeBase.enableRemoteAccess=true

Refer to enable SSl to learn how to enable SSL in admin.properties file.

TimeBase Deployment with SSL​

Here is basic (minimal) instructions for TimeBase deployment with SSL

Docker Compose​

Configure docker-compose.yml file. 

# docker-compose.yml Enterprise Edition example

version: "3"
services:
  timebase:
    image: "registry.deltixhub.com/quantserver.docker/timebase/server:5.6.68"
    stop_grace_period: 5m
    ulimits:
      nofile:
        soft: 65536
        hard: 65536
    environment:
      - TIMEBASE_SERIAL=${SERIAL_NUMBER}
      - JAVA_OPTS=
        -Xms8g
        -Xmx8g
        -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
        -XX:HeapDumpPath=/timebase-home/timebase.hprof
        -Xlog:gc=debug:file=/timebase-home/GClog-TimeBase.log:time,uptime,level,tags:filecount=5,filesize=100m
    ports:
      - 8011:8011 //TimeBase Server port
      - 8022:8022 //SSL port
    volumes:
      - "./timebase-home:/timebase-home"

  timebase-admin:
    image: "registry.deltixhub.com/quantserver.docker/timebase/ws-server:1.2.74"
    environment:
      - JAVA_OPTS=
        -Xmx1g
        -Dserver.port=8099
        -Dtimebase.url=dxtick://timebase:8011
        -Dserver.compression.enabled=true
        -Dserver.compression.mime-types=text/html,text/css,application/javascript,application/json
    ports:
      - 8099:8099
    depends_on:
      - timebase
info

Refer to Enable SSL for additional information.

admin.properties​

In admin.properties configuration file specify the following parameters to enable SSL: 

TimeBase.sslInfo=QSKeystoreInfo
TimeBase.sslInfo.keystoreFile=test.jks //security certificate file
TimeBase.sslInfo.keystorePass=<password>
TimeBase.enableSSL=true //enable SLL
TimeBase.sslInfo.sslPort=8022 //SSL port same as in docker-compose
TimeBase.sslInfo.sslForLoopback=false

Create a JKS file in case you use a self-signed certificate. Specify JKS file name for keystoreFile and a password for keystorePass.

info

Refer to Enable SSL for additional information.

TimeBase Deployment with UAC​

In admin.properties configuration file specify the following parameters to enable UAC: 

QuantServer.security.rulesConfig=uac-access-rules.xml //users authorization information
QuantServer.security.userDirectoryConfig=uac-file-security.xml //users authentication information
QuantServer.security=FILE
info

Refer to User Access Control for additional information.

Useful Commands​

  • docker-compose images - show you component versions.
  • docker-compose logs CONTAINER_NAME - display log output from service.
  • Use docker compose logs -f CONTAINER_NAME to follow log output.
