  - Volt on Docker overview
    HCL Domino Volt 1.0 includes a Docker-compatible Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) of Volt that is part of your entitlement and available for download through the HCL Licensing Portal. HCL Domino Volt 1.0 is pre-installed on this image – this allows you to deploy a Volt server as a container with just a few commands.
  - Loading the volt-docker tar archive file to Docker
    The first step to deploy a Volt server on Docker is loading the volt-docker tar archive file to Docker. This creates the image that is used to create containers.
  - Upgrading a containerized Volt server
  - Deploying a new Volt server on Docker
    - Creating the Docker volume to store the data directory
      After you load the volt-docker image to Docker, create a Docker volume. The Docker volume is a persistent location to hold the Domino data directory.
    - Creating a temporary Docker container for remote server setup
      To deploy a new Volt server as a Docker container, first create a temporary container to complete remote Domino server setup.

    - Completing the Volt server configuration
      After your Volt server starts, use your Notes or Domino Administrator client to complete the server configuration.

Creating a Docker container for Volt

After you have set up a new Volt server using a temporary container, create the container to run the Volt server.

This procedure is almost identical to the one described in the domino-docker documentation. See Creating a container for Domino for details, but when you get to the docker run step, be sure to specify a valid volt-docker image tag. For example:

docker run -it --name volt -v notesdata:/local/notesdata --hostname docker.renovations.com \
    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE -p 1352:1352 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 volt-docker:V1101-1.0.0.11

If you intend to access your Volt server via HTTPS, be sure to publish port 443 (e.g. -p 443:443). For HTTP access, be sure to publish port 80 (e.g. -p 80:80).

The Volt server container is created and the underlying Domino server starts.

Note: If your Domino server ID is password protected and you plan to create the Docker container in detached mode, refer to the domino-docker documentation for more information.
