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
