Infor Email Marketing Installation on Docker

John Yeary on Java

Centos (Open Source RHEL)

  1. docker pull centos:7
  2. docker run -d -it --name email-marketing -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 1527:1527 -p 25:25 -p 113:113 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -p 8085:8085 -p 44385:44385 centos:7

Here is my version of the command which sets the custom private bridge network and host name.

docker run -d -it --name email-marketing -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 1527:1527 -p 25:25 -p 113:113 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -p 8085:8085 -p 44385:44385 -h em.vm.lotus.bluelotussoftware.com  --network 10.0.3.x-bridge centos:7
  1. Connect to centos instance via Exec on Kitematic.
  2. /bin/bash to create a BASH prompt.
  3. (OPTIONAL) yum update. Agree to any packages and wait for it to complete.
  4. (OPTIONAL) Restart centos instance in Kitematic.
  5. yum install java-1.7.0 to install OpenJDK 7 JRE. Agree to any packages and wait for it to complete.
  6. (ALTERNATIVE) If you want to install the OpenJDK 7 (JDK), use this command instead yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
  7. java -version should indicate something similar to this:

    java version “1.7.0_181” OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.6.14.5.el7-x86_64 u181-b00) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.181-b00, mixed mode)

  8. Copy the Email Marketing install.bin file to the centos instance using docker cp install.bin email-marketing:/.
  9. Install Email Marketing using the defaults. Don’t install SSL since we don’t have a certificate yet.
  10. Start the outgoing service and configure DNS.

    NOTE: You must have a DNS server configured with the IP address already. If you are working in the Infor environment this should already be set for your machine, e.g. usgvdjyeary01.em.infor.com.

  11. Copy the keystore.jks file to the server which contains the key we will use for SSL/TLS. docker cp keystore.jks email-marketing:/root/INFOR/EM/config
  12. Modify the configuration on the server to use your keystore and configure SSL/TLS. Ensure if you are using a self-signed certificate, that you install the certificate in the trusted keystore (cacerts) which is located in /etc/alternatives/jre/lib/security

Private Network

I set up a private network (VLAN) for my environment in Docker. I did this to make it easier to setup DNS (bind). Listed below are some parameters you will need for a private network.

# Set the default_bridge to false unless you want this to be your default network.
com.docker.network.bridge.default_bridge=false
com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc=true
com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade=true
com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4=0.0.0.0
# The bridge.name be unique
com.docker.network.bridge.name=docker1
com.docker.network.driver.mtu=1500
