Building a container image

Prerequisites

You need to have the following tools installed:

Docker 17.06.1 or later, or Podman 1.0 or later (Podman 4.1 on macOS). If using Podman on macOS, the you need to be in "rootful" mode to allow the use of a network during builds. Run podman machine init --rootful.
GNU make

If you are working in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, follow this guide by Microsoft to set up Docker first.

Building a production image

From MQ 9.2.X, the MQ container adds support for MQ Long Term Support (LTS) production licensed releases.

Building MQ 9.3 Long Term Support (LTS) and Continuous Delivery (CD)

Note: MQ 9.3 is the latest MQ version with MQ Long Term Support (LTS), as well as being the latest Continuous Delivery (CD) version.

The procedure below is for building the 9.3 release, on amd64, ppc64le and s390x architectures.

Create a downloads directory in the root of this repository
Download MQ from IBM Passport Advantage. Identify the correct 'Long Term Support Release for Containers' eImage part number for your architecture from the 9.3.0 LTS tab at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-ibm-mq-930
Ensure the tar.gz file is in the downloads directory
Run 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:

MQ_ARCHIVE=mq-1.2.3.4.tar.gz MQ_VERSION=1.2.3.4 make build-advancedserver

Building previous MQ Long Term Support (LTS)

Note: MQ 9.3 is the latest MQ version with MQ Long Term Support (LTS), as well as being the latest Continuous Delivery (CD) version. Therefore, to build build 9.3.0.X, follow the instructions above for MQ 9.3.

However, if you wish to build the previous MQ LTS, use the instructions in the v9.2.0.x-eus branch.

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 amd64 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).

Installed components

This image includes the core MQ server, Java, language packs, GSKit, and web server. This is configured in the Generate MQ package in INSTALLATION_DIR section here, with the configured options being picked up at build time.
