Deploy PingDirectory and PingDataSync ¶

You'll use Docker Compose to deploy a PingDirectory and PingDataSync stack. PingDataSync will synchronize data from a source tree on a PingDirectory instance to a destination tree on the same PingDirectory instance. The entries from ou=source,o=sync to ou=destination,o=sync will be synchronized every second.

What You'll Do ¶

Deploy the PingDirectory and PingDataSync stack.
Test the deployment.
Bring down or stop the stack.

Prerequisites ¶

You've already been through Get started to set up your DevOps environment and run a test deployment of the products.

Deploy Stack ¶

Go to your local devops/pingidentity-devops-getting-started/11-docker-compose/04-simple-sync directory. Enter:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Check that PingDirectory and PingDataSync are healthy and running:
```
docker-compose ps
```
You can also display the startup logs:
```
docker-compose logs -f
```
To see the logs for a particular product container at any point, enter:
```
docker-compose logs <product-container-name>
```

Test the Deployment ¶

The stack will sync entries from ou=source,o=sync to ou=destination,o=sync every second.

In one terminal window, tail the logs from the PingDataSync server:
```
docker logs 04-simple-sync_pingdatasync_1 -f
```

In a second window, make a change to the ou=source,o=sync tree:

docker container exec -it 04-simple-sync_pingdirectory_1 \
/opt/out/instance/bin/ldapmodify
dn: uid=user.0,ou=people,ou=source,o=sync
changetype: modify
replace: description
description: Change to source user.0

<Ctrl-D>

You'll see messages in the PingDataSync log showing ADD/MODIFY of the user sync'd to the ou=destination,o=sync tree. To verify this, enter:

docker container exec -it \
   04-simple-sync_pingdirectory_1 \
   /opt/out/instance/bin/ldapsearch \
   -b uid=user.0,ou=people,ou=destination,o=sync \
   -s base '(&)' description

Entries similar to this will be returned:

# dn: uid=user.0,ou=People,ou=destination,o=sync
# description: Change to source user.0

Clean Up ¶

When you no longer want to run this stack, bring the stack down.

To remove all of the containers and associated Docker networks, enter:

docker-compose down

To stop the running stack without removing any of the containers or associated Docker networks, enter:

docker-compose stop

To remove attached Docker Volumes

docker volume prune
