Docker Evaluation

Docker-based deployment is useful for an Enterprise evaluation or proof of concept. Production deployments should use the architecture and runbooks provided during onboarding.

Intended Use

Use Docker when you want to:

  • Validate OpenFactory with a small team
  • Connect to a lab hypervisor
  • Test identity, build, VM, and artifact workflows before production rollout
  • Create a repeatable evaluation environment

Requirements

  • A Linux host with virtualization support
  • Docker or a compatible container runtime
  • Network access to required OpenFactory services and artifact storage
  • An Enterprise license or evaluation package

Setup

OpenFactory support will provide the package, registry access, and environment template for your evaluation. The template uses placeholder values for secrets and endpoints; generate fresh secrets for every environment.

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

After startup, open the console URL provided in your environment file and complete the initial organization setup.

Production Note

Do not treat an evaluation compose file as a production architecture. Production deployments need managed secrets, backups, monitoring, TLS, durable storage, capacity planning, and change control.
