Deploy Using Docker Compose

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to deploy the Smart Intersection Sample Application using Docker Compose. You'll learn how to:

• Start the application and ensure all services are running.
• Verify the deployment to confirm the application is functioning correctly.

Docker Compose simplifies the deployment process by managing multiple containers as a single application. For more details, see Docker Compose Documentation.

Start the Application

1. Run the Application:

   • Use Docker Compose to start the application:

     docker compose up -d

   • Please be aware that the first startup may take longer than usual. Ensure that all services have fully initialized before proceeding.
   • Some containers in the deployment requires network access. If you are in a proxy environment, pass the proxy environment variables as follows:
     • For the node-red service, use the following environment configuration in compose.yml:

       node-red:
         ...
         environment:
           ...
           - http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
           - https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
           - no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,broker.scenescape.intel.com,influxdb2
           - HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
           - HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
           - NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,broker.scenescape.intel.com,influxdb2

     • For all the other services, provide an empty proxy configuration in compose.yml to avoid inter-container networking issues:

       <service_name>:
         ...
         environment:
           ...
           - http_proxy=
           - https_proxy=
           - no_proxy=
           - HTTP_PROXY=
           - HTTPS_PROXY=
           - NO_PROXY=

2. Verify the Application:

   • Check that the application is running:

     docker compose ps
