pure::variants

Info

The Docker image name for this image is <base>/pure-variants or <base>/pure-variants where <base> is one of the following options:

  • capella/remote
  • t4c/client/remote
  • eclipse/remote

for remote images or

  • capella/base
  • t4c/client/base
  • eclipse/base

for local images without the remote feature.

As part of this Docker image, pure::variants is installed into the Eclipse software of the base image. In addition, it has some basic configuration support, e.g., for setting the license server automatically during runtime.

If the base image is based on Capella, the pure::variants Capella plugin is installed in addition.

Build it yourself

Preparation

Download the pure::variants archive

  1. Download the pure::variants updateSite from the pure::variants download site: https://www.pure-systems.com/pvde-update/ (access restricted, license needed). The version on the public website is not sufficient (it's missing important plugins).

    Please select: "pure::variants Archived Update Site with all Extensions" for Linux (Tux).

  2. Place the zip-file into pure-variants/versions/$PURE_VARIANTS_VERSION. $PURE_VARIANTS_VERSION is the sematic version of pure::variants, e.g. 6.0.0.

Build it manually with Docker

  1. Start the Docker build:
docker build -t <base>/pure-variants \
     --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=<base> \
     --build-arg PURE_VARIANTS_VERSION=$PURE_VARIANTS_VERSION \
    pure-variants

where <base> is one of the options listed in the infobox above.

Run the container

To run the pure-variants images, please follow the instructions to run the Capella base or T4C client base image, but consider the following differences:

  • Add the environment variable $PURE_VARIANTS_LICENSE_SERVER to the docker run command. The value is the same as set in the Eclipse GUI when running a normal installation, e.g. http://localhost:8080.
  • Bind the directory containing the license.lic file to /inputs/pure-variants/ inside the container. 
    docker run -d \
    -p $RDP_EXTERNAL_PORT:3389 \
    -e RMT_PASSWORD=$RMT_PASSWORD \
    $BASE_IMAGE/remote/pure-variants
