Overview

Note
This page is still under construction.

This document describes the process to deploy OCSP container on Podman with PKI 11.6 or later.

Current limitations:

  • Replication is not yet supported (i.e. no scaling)

  • HSM is not yet supported

  • No security domain (i.e. other subsystems need to be set up manually)

  • Long startup time (due to certs import and instance creation)

Creating Network

Create a network for the containers, for example:

$ podman network create example

Alternatively, use an existing network.

Preparing Certificates

To deploy the OCSP container, prepare the following files:

Then store the files in a location that will be mapped to the /certs folder in the OCSP container.

    -v $PWD/certs:/certs \
