Ping Identity DevOps Docker Image - pingdatasync

This docker image includes the Ping Identity PingDataSync product binaries and associated hook scripts to create and run a PingDataSync instance.

  • pingidentity/pingbase - Parent Image

    This image inherits, and can use, Environment Variables from pingidentity/pingbase

  • pingidentity/pingdatacommon - Common Ping files (i.e. hook scripts)

Environment Variables

In addition to environment variables inherited from pingidentity/pingbase, the following environment ENV variables can be used with this image.

ENV Variable Default Description
SHIM ${SHIM}
IMAGE_VERSION ${IMAGE_VERSION}
IMAGE_GIT_REV ${IMAGE_GIT_REV}
DATE ${DATE}
PING_PRODUCT_VERSION ${VERSION}
TAIL_LOG_FILES ${SERVER_ROOT_DIR}/logs/sync Files tailed once container has started
LICENSE_DIR ${PD_LICENSE_DIR} PD License directory. This value is set from the pingbase docker file
LICENSE_FILE_NAME PingDirectory.lic Name of license file
LICENSE_SHORT_NAME PD Short name used when retrieving license from License Server
LICENSE_VERSION ${LICENSE_VERSION} Version used when retrieving license from License Server
PING_PRODUCT PingDataSync Ping product name
STARTUP_COMMAND ${SERVER_ROOT_DIR}/bin/start-server The command that the entrypoint will execute in the foreground to instantiate the container
STARTUP_FOREGROUND_OPTS --nodetach The command-line options to provide to the the startup command when the container starts with the server in the foreground. This is the normal start flow for the container
RETRY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS 180 The default retry timeout in seconds for manage-topology and remove-defunct-server
ADMIN_USER_NAME admin Failover administrative user
ROOT_USER_PASSWORD_FILE Location of file with the root user password (i.e. cn=directory manager). Defaults to /SECRETS_DIR/root-user-password
ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_FILE Location of file with the admin password, used as the password replication admin Defaults to /SECRETS_DIR/admin-user-password
KEYSTORE_FILE Location of the keystore file containing the server certificate. If left undefined, the SECRETS_DIR will be checked for a keystore. If that keystore does not exist, the server will generate a self-signed certificate.
KEYSTORE_PIN_FILE Location of the pin file for the keystore defined in KEYSTORE_FILE. You must specify a KEYSTORE_PIN_FILE when a KEYSTORE_FILE is present. This value does not need to be defined when allowing the server to generate a self-signed certificate.
KEYSTORE_TYPE Format of the keystore defined in KEYSTORE_FILE. One of "jks", "pkcs12", "pem", or "bcfks" (in FIPS mode). If not defined, the keystore format will be inferred based on the file extension of the KEYSTORE_FILE, defaulting to "jks".
TRUSTSTORE_FILE Location of the truststore file for the server. If left undefined, the SECRETS_DIR will be checked for a truststore. If that truststore does not exist, the server will generate a truststore, containing its own certificate.
TRUSTSTORE_PIN_FILE Location of the pin file for the truststore defined in TRUSTSTORE_FILE. You must specify a TRUSTSTORE_PIN_FILE when a TRUSTSTORE_FILE is present. This value does not need to be defined when allowing the server to generate a truststore.
TRUSTSTORE_TYPE Format of the truststore defined in TRUSTSTORE_FILE. One of "jks", "pkcs12", "pem", or "bcfks" (in FIPS mode). If not defined, the truststore format will be inferred based on the file extension of the TRUSTSTORE_FILE, defaulting to "jks".
PD_PROFILE ${STAGING_DIR}/pd.profile Directory for the profile used by the PingData manage-profile tool
UNBOUNDID_SKIP_START_PRECHECK_NODETACH true Setting this variable to true speeds up server startup time by skipping an unnecessary JVM check.
PARALLEL_POD_MANAGEMENT_POLICY false Whether this container is running as a Pod in a Kubernetes StatefulSet, and that StatefulSet is using the Parallel podManagementPolicy. This property allows for starting up Pods in parallel to speed up the initial startup of PingDataSync topologies. This variable must be set to true when using the Parallel podManagementPolicy. Note: when using parallel startup, ensure the RETRY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS variable is large enough. The pods will be enabling replication simultaneously, so some pods will have to retry while waiting for others to complete. If the timeout is too low, a Pod may end up restarting unnecessarily.
SKIP_WAIT_FOR_DNS false Set to true to skip the waiting for DNS step that is normally done just before attempting to join the topology.
CERTIFICATE_NICKNAME There is an additional certificate-based variable used to identity the certificate alias used within the KEYSTORE_FILE. That variable is called CERTIFICATE_NICKNAME, which identifies the certificate to use by the server in the KEYSTORE_FILE. If a value is not provided, the container will look at the list certs found in the KEYSTORE_FILE and if one - and only one - certificate is found of type PrivateKeyEntry, that alias will be used.
COLUMNS 120 Sets the number of columns in PingDataSync command-line tool output
PD_REBUILD_ON_RESTART false Force a rebuild (replace-profile) of PingDataSync on restart. Used to ensure that the server configuration exactly matches the server profile. This variable will slow down startup times and should only be used when necessary.

Ports Exposed

The following ports are exposed from the container. If a variable is used, then it may come from a parent container

  • ${LDAP_PORT}
  • ${LDAPS_PORT}
  • ${HTTPS_PORT}
  • ${JMX_PORT}
