# Building a container image
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
You need to have the following tools installed:
|
|
|
|
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) V17.06.1 or later
|
|
* [GNU make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
|
|
|
|
If you are working in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, follow [this guide by Microsoft to set up Docker](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/12/08/cross-post-wsl-interoperability-with-docker/) first.
|

## Building a production image
|
|
|
|
This procedure works for building the MQ Continuous Delivery release, on `x86_64`, `ppc64le` and `s390x` architectures.
|
|
|
|
1. Create a `downloads` directory in the root of this repository
|
|
2. Download MQ from [IBM Passport Advantage](https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/) or [IBM Fix Central](https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), and place the downloaded file (for example, `IBM_MQ_9.1.2_UBUNTU_X86-64.tar.gz`) in the `downloads` directory
|
|
3. Run `make build-advancedserver`
|
|
|
|
> **Warning**: Note that MQ offers two different sets of packaging on Linux: one is called "MQ for Linux" and contains RPM files for installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The MQ container build uses a Red Hat Universal Base Image, so you need the "MQ for Linux" RPM files.
|
|
|
|
You can build a different version of MQ by setting the `MQ_VERSION` environment variable, for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
MQ_VERSION=9.1.0.0 make build-advancedserver
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have an MQ archive file with a different file name, you can specify a particular file (which must be in the `downloads` directory). You should also specify the MQ version, so that the resulting image is tagged correctly, for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
MQ_ARCHIVE=mq-1.2.3.4.tar.gz MQ_VERSION=1.2.3.4 make build-advancedserver
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building a developer image
|
|
Run `make build-devserver`, which will download the latest version of MQ Advanced for Developers from IBM developerWorks. This is currently only available on the `x86_64` architecture.
|
|
|
|
You can use the environment variable `MQ_ARCHIVE_DEV` to specify an alternative local file to install from (which must be in the `downloads` directory).
|
|
|
|
## Building from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host
|
|
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) offers a suite of container tools, including Buildah for building container images, and Podman for running containers. Buildah can accept input described in a [Dockerfile](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/). This MQ sample uses a multi-stage build, which requires a recent version of Podman, which is not yet available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux V7. Therefore, if you are on a RHEL host, then the `build-devserver` and `build-advancedserver` targets are run using a more recent version of Buildah from inside a container.
|
|
|
|
The containerized build process on a RHEL host will write an OCI compliant archive file to `/tmp/mq-buildah`. If a version of Docker is installed on the host, it will also push the image into Docker's internal image registry.
|
|
|
|
## Installed components
|
|
|
|
This image includes the core MQ server, Java, language packs, GSKit, and web server. This can be configured by setting the `MQ_PACKAGES` argument to `make`. |
