Building the IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.6 image

---

Prereq: all binaries should be accessible via a web server during building phase.

1. Place the downloaded IBM Installation Manager and IBM WebSphere Application Server traditional binaries on a directory
2. Create docker network for build with:

   docker network create build

3. Run nginx docker image to be able to download binaries from HTTP

   docker run --name images -h images --network build \
   -v <Image directory>:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -d nginx

4. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/nishi2go/maximo-docker.git

5. Move to the directory

   cd maximo-docker

6. Build Docker images: Build Db2 image:

   docker build -t maximo/db2:11.1.3 -t maximo/db2:latest --network build maxdb

   Build WebSphere Application Server base image:

   docker build -t maximo/maxwas:9.0.0.7 -t maximo/maxwas:latest --network build maxwas

   Build WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager image:

   docker build -t maximo/maxdmgr:9.0.0.7 -t maximo/maxdmgr:latest maxdmgr

   Build WebSphere Application Server AppServer image:

   docker build -t maximo/maxapps:9.0.0.7 -t maximo/maxapps:latest maxapps

   Build IBM HTTP Server image:

   docker build -t maximo/maxweb:9.0.0.7 -t maximo/maxweb:latest --network build maxweb

   Build Maximo Asset Management Installation image:

   docker build -t maximo/maximo:7.6.0.9 -t maximo/maximo:latest --network build maximo

   Note: If the build has failed during Maximo Feature Pack installation, run the docker build again.
7. Run containers by using the Docker Compose file to create and deploy instances:

   docker-compose up -d

   Note: It will take 3-4 hours (depend on your machine) to complete the installation.
8. Make sure to be accessible to Maximo login page: http://hostname/maximo
