Containerization is a lightweight alternative to full machine virtualization that involves encapsulating an application in a container with its own operating environment.
I follow the instruction on docker site.
I have next troubles:
Dear team,
I am trying to experiment the Docker container in our development environment. I have successfully build an image and running the container. When I access the CSP portal home page ( http://<host-ip>:57772/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen?$NAMESPACE=%25SYS), I am getting the following error:
I logged in to the running container (docker exec -it <container-id> sh), issued the command, 'ccontrol list' where the state says 'warn'.
Configuration 'CACHE' (default)
directory: /opt/h
Hi Community!
We're pleased to invite you to the DockerCon 2019 – the #1 container industry conference for all things Kubernetes, microservices, and DevOps. The event will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from April 29 to May 2.
In addition, there will be a special session "Containerized Databases for Enterprise Applications" presented by @Thomas Carroll, Product Specialist at InterSystems.
See the details below.
This is a continuation of my story about the development of my project isc-tar started in the first part.
Just having tests is not enough, it does not mean that you will run tests after all changes. Running tests should be automated, and when you cover all your functionality with tests, everything should work well after any change in any place. And Continuous Integration (CI) helps to keep the code and deployment procedure with as fewer bugs as possible and automates the routine procedures, like publishing releases.
I use GitHub to store the source code. And some time ago GitHub started to work on its own CI/CD platform and named it GitHub Actions. It is not widely available, yet. You have to be signed as a beta tester for this feature, as I did. GitHub Actions uses quite a different way how to deal with a build workflow. What is important that Github Actions allows to use Docker, and it’s quite easy to customize available actions. And interesting that GitHub Actions is really much bigger than any classic CI like we have in Travis, Circle or Gitlab CI and so on. You can find more in the official documentation.
Hi Community!
When you run IRIS container out-of-the-box and connect to it via terminal e.g. with:
docker-compose exec iris bashYou see something like:
root@7b19f545187b:/opt/app# irissession IRIS
Node: 7b19f545187b, Instance: IRIS
Username: ***
Password: ***
USER>And you enter login and password every time.
How to programmatically setup docker-compose file to have IRIS container with OS authentication enabled? And have the following while entering the terminal:
root@7b19f545187b:/opt/app# irissession IRIS
Node: 7b19f545187b, Instance: IRIS

In this series of articles, I'd like to present and discuss several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. I will cover such topics as:
In the previous article, we covered Git basics, why a high-level understanding of Git concepts is important for modern software development, and how Git can be used to develop software. Still, our focus was on the implementation part of software development, but this part presents:
For a solo developer developing web applications what will be the best technology to use IRIS or Studio with cache database and containers for deployment
When I run the following cmd in Ubuntu 18.04
the container is created and stays running
But when I run this cmd, the container is created but exits immediately
Not sure why it is doing this. if anyone can shed some light, it would be most appreciated.
After attending the Intersystems DACH conference in Germany at the end of last November and taking part in a few workshops about containers and microservices I took the plunge and installed Docker on home Windows PC, downloaded IRIS 2018.2 preview and got that up and running. Good stuff and I gave myself a pad on the shoulder at that point.
But then it dawned on me that I couldn't edit code using Studio as Studio is Windows only and while I'm running on a Windows desktop the Docker image itself is Linux based. As Studio insists on being on the same major version as the server it connects to I
Everybody has a testing environment.
Some people are lucky enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in.

This first part deals with the cornerstone of modern software development - Git version control system and various Git flows.

InterSystems is adopting a new approach to releasing InterSystems IRIS. This blog explains the new release model and what customers should expect to see. We laid this out at Global Summit at the end of the InterSystems IRIS roadmap session and have received a lot of positive feedback from customers.
With this new model we offer two release streams:
1) An annual traditional release that we call EM (for Extended Maintenance)
2) A quarterly release that is tagged CD (for Continuous Delivery) and will be available only in a container format.
With the launch of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, we provide our product even in a Docker container. But what is a container?
The fundamental container definition is that of a sandbox for a process.
Containers are software-defined packages that have some similarities to virtual machines (VM) like for example they can be executed.
Containers provide isolation without a full OS emulation. Containers are therefore much lighter than a VM.
In their essence, containers are an answer to the issue of how to reliably move an application from a system to another and guarantee that it will w
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides a feature rich environment for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) as a cloud offering fully capable of supporting all of InterSystems products including the latest InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. Care must be taken, as with any platform or deployment model, to ensure all aspects of an environment are considered such as performance, availability, operations, and management procedures. Specifics of each of those areas will be covered in this article.
Hi Community!
I'm pleased to announce that InterSystems IRIS is available on Microsoft Azure Marketplace!
→ InterSystems IRIS on Azure Marketplace
This is the second public cloud offering of InterSystems IRIS after recently announced Google Cloud Platform support.
I have already mentioned my project CacheBlocksExplorer recently in two articles
Now I would like to inform that this project can be easily run with docker.
Version for Caché and for InterSystems IRIS, now publicly available on docker hub.
Remember that you need the appropriate license key (for RedHat Linux) to be able to run this project.
docker run -d --rm \ -p 8080:57772 \ -v ~/cache.key:/usr/cachesys/mgr/cache.key \ -v /some/your/cache/db:/opt/blocks/db/test \

Hi All,
Who, in the age of digital transformation, doesn't want to reap more benefits out of any process, procedure, and resource we have? At InterSystems Solution Developers Conference (part of InterSystems Global Summit 2018) we will have sessions on how to improve the way applications are built with modern tools like Docker containers, Gitlab, Circle CI, Travis, etc., how continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes can help us deliver more value quickly to the end-user, and how we can start thinking about modernizing traditional applications.
In this series of articles, I'd like to present and discuss several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. I will cover such topics as:
In this article, we'll build Continuous Delivery with InterSystems Cloud Manager. ICM is a cloud provisioning and deployment solution for applications based on InterSystems IRIS. It allows you to define the desired deployment configuration and ICM would provision it automatically. For more information take a look at First Look: ICM.

hi, new here, and new to cache and deepsee.
i've been trying to setup a copy of our production server so we can use it for testing/development.
i did a full backup. moved it to the new server. ran the DBREST command. got it to restore but seems like permissions get all messed up. and it just generates a bunch of errors.
is there an easier/better way of doing this?
In this second post on containers fundamentals, we take a look at what container images are.
What is a container image?
A container image is merely a binary representation of a container.
A running container or simply a container is the runtime state of the related container image.
Please see the first post that explains what a container is.
Container images consist of a basic OS substratum and all the software we need to run our service. I use the term service for a given "container solution" as a generic description of a software solution wrapped in a container. I do that as I mig
Last week saw the launch of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform in sunny California.
For the engaging eXPerience Labs (XP-Labs) training sessions, my first customer and favourite department (Learning Services), was working hard assisting and supporting us all behind the scene.
Before the event, Learning Services set up the most complicated part of public cloud :) "credentials-for-free" for a smooth and fast experience for all our customers at the summit. They did extensive testing before the event so that we could all spin up cloud infrastructures to test the various new features of the new

Would this be a fit for Cache / IRIS containerisation?
Not sure I fully "get" what's being proposed in the article, mind you.
Hi, Community!
This week we have two videos. Check all new session recordings from Global Summit 2017:
In my previous article, I gave an example of how to get the own image with InterSystems Caché. Now it's time to launch a project with container.
Just curious how many companies use in their work Docker containers, I mean not only with InterSystems products. And if such companies exist, which of them uses docker and doesn't use it for InterSystems products by some reasons. What are the reasons? For companies which already uses InterSystems in containers, how do you use it? Development environment, testing or even in production ?
And if you don't use but thought about it, what are the reasons which stop you.
As for me, I've been using InterSystems Caché inside a Docker container in some different cases:
