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.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Download the volt-docker tar archive file from the HCL Licensing Portal.
    Note: You will need to transfer/copy the volt-docker tar archive file to a Linux server if the file was downloaded elsewhere from the HCL Licensing Portal. For example, you may use a browser on a Windows laptop to download the file. In this case, you will need to ftp or scp the file to your Linux system with Docker installed before you can load it.
  2. From a terminal window on a Docker-enabled system, load the volt-docker tar archive file:
    docker load --input volt-docker-<version>.tgz
    For example:
    docker load --input volt-docker-V1101-1.0.0.11.tgz
    Note: The exact name of the tar archive file depends on the underlying versions of Domino and Volt. In the above example, V1101-1.0.0.11 indicates Domino 11.0.1 and Volt 1.0.0.11.
