Building an image

A Domino Leap image can be built by using the open-source Domino Container utilities provided by HCL Software.

For more information on the procedure, see this Domino Container article.

Prerequisites

  • A general understanding of Docker, or Podman

  • An environment that is enabled with Docker, or Podman. This could be a native Linux installation or WSL on Windows.

Procedure (simplified)

  1. Open a command-line terminal in an environment that is enabled with Docker or Podman.

  2. Download (or clone) the domino-container repository from github.com.

  3. Download the latest Domino Server binary (ex. “Domino_14.0_Linux_English.tar”) and the Domino Leap install package (ex. “hcl.dleap-1.1.3.11.zip”) from Flexnet or the My HCLSoftware Portal and place them into the …/domino-container/software/ directory.

  4. Run the following commands:

    cd …/domino-container/
    ./build.sh domino -leap
    Note: (Optional) If the built image is to be run elsewhere, use docker export command to export the image as a .tar file.
