Handle System Docker Image

A simple Docker image to run the Handle System software. Note that this image is intended for development environments and is not suitable for production use.

See the Hub page for the available images and the Github repo to review the Dockerfiles.

Usage

Pull and run the docker image:

$ docker pull osul/handle
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 2641:2641 osul/handle

This image will expose the Handle Server HTTP interface on port 8000 and the UDP and TCP Handle protocol on port 2641. The handle server is homed to the 1234.TEST and 1234.DEV prefixes and configured for standalone operation.

The server admin handle is 1234.TEST/ADMIN and responds to either the secret key password on index 301, or a public key on index 300. You can find the private key admpriv.bin in the github repository.

Client configuration

Handle clients will need to be configured to use this server to resolve requests because it is not part of the global registry. For the reference client:

1. Create a copy of siteinfo.json from the github repository in ~/.handle named resolver_site
2. Change the value of the "address" key in that file to the IP or hostname of the Docker container (i.e. localhost)
3. Run echo "*" > ~/.handle/local_nas to also direct admin operations to the container
