Version 2020.3.1 (30/11/2020) v2020.3.1 Switch to the latest release
Version summary
🐛 Bugfixes
This is an exceptional release of the Validator, which includes the latest version of the TEAM Engine. A hotfix was needed on the TEAM engine test driver due to a change in the OGC endpoint the validator uses as an API (see #461). As a consequence, the ETS for Conformance Class "WFS Direct" needed to be updated to reference the change in the dependency to the TEAM engine test. This release builds on the latest release (v.2020.3).
- TEAM Engine reference update on Direct WFS ETS #461
- TestDriver for TEAM Engine updated on validator.war inside INSPIRE validator #461
Deployment instructions
Section containing deployment process using Docker image and troubleshooting section. You can also find these in the training materal
docker login docker.pkg.github.com #Provide Github credentials docker run --name inspire-validator -d -p 8080:8080 -v ~/etf:/etf docker.pkg.github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/inspire-validator:2020.3.1 #Launches a container with the image, exposing it port 8080 through the same port in the host machine, and uses a volume in the local file system, on the directory ~/etf
Modifying the Docker image
In the inspire-validator ZIP file you can find all the resources needed to generate the Docker image from this release. If you would like to tweak anything from it, you can modify any of its contents (Dockerfile, entrypoint file, configuration files... ), then execute the command
docker build -t [IMAGE_NAME]:[VERSION]
You can run this again using the run command
docker run --name inspire-validator -d -p 8080:8080 -v ~/etf:/etf [IMAGE_NAME]:[VERSION]
Deployment on the production host
The Docker image is set up to run at localhost to be deployed on any machine. However, users may need to access their validator on a dedicated host, usually with a domain name. For proper functioning of the validator, their UI and correct rendering of Test Reports, validator needs to be configured to run on a domain.
If you want to run the webapp in another host, you can change the configuration file, inside the .war file inside the inspire-validator zip file accompanying this release, at WEB-INF/classes/etf-config.properties, and modify the etf.webapp.base.url property. Then you can proceed to the build process described in the previous point.
Exposing the validator through a proxy
Usually host machines are connected in a private network that access to the Internet through a proxy. The Docker client needs to be configured to make use of this proxy, in order to be able to build the image and set up running the container.
For the build process, you need to add the following arguments to the command
--build-arg http_proxy=[HTTP_PROXY_URL:PORT] --build-arg https_proxy=[HTTPS_PROXY_URL:PORT] --build-arg no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,*.<my-domain>
For the run command, you need to add the environment variables to it
--env http_proxy=[HTTP_PROXY_URL:PORT] --env https_proxy=[HTTPS_PROXY_URL:PORT] --env no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,*.<mydomain>
These can also be set up in the Dockerfile, using the keyword ENV
