Builds a docker image to run a configured NHS Digital MESH Client.
The MESH Client is configured at build time. The build arguments are:
| Argument | Value | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MESHPWD | Password for your MESH Mailbox | None |
| MESHBOX | Identifer of the MESH Mailbox | None |
| KSPASS | Password for the MESH Keystore | None |
| MESHENDPOINT | IP or URL for the MESH Endpoint | https://192.168.128.11 (OpenTest) |
The MESH Endpoint is added to the conifguration using a SED command so needs to be escaped. e.g
https://192.168.128.11 should be specified as https:\/\/192\.168\.128\.11
The mesh keystore should be copied to the build directory so it can be copied into the image. The Keystores for each environment can be found here:
https://digital.nhs.uk/services/path-to-live-environments
Passwords for the Keystore will be provided during the environment registration process.
To build, use the command:
docker build --build-arg MESHPWD=[MESH PASSWORD] --build-arg MESHBOX=[MESHBOXID] --build-arg KSPASS=[KeyStorePass] -t [sometag] .
The build creates a volume at /usr/MESH-DATA-HOME.
If you wish to access the MESH mailbox from other images you may wish to create a volume first e.g.
docker volume create --name meshdata
And then use it when running the container:
docker run -v meshdata:/usr/MESH-DATA-HOME [sometag]
