The following repository contains Apache NiFi Registry provisioned on the Alpine Linux distribution. The image supports running in standalone mode either unsecured or with user authentication provided via
- Two-way SSL client certificates
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
The docker image can be built using the following command:
docker build -t qabsu/apache-nifi-registry:0.8.0 .
Note: The default version of Apache NiFi Registry specified in the Dockerfile is 0.8.0 which is the latest stable version as at time of creation. To build an image for a different version, the NIFI_VERSION
build argument can be overwritten with the following command:
docker build --build-arg=NIFI_VERSION={desiredVersion} -t qabsu/apache-nifi-registry:{desiredVersion} .
The minimum to run an instance of Apache NiFi is as follows:
docker run --name nifi-registry \
-p 18080:18080 \
-d \
qabsu/apache-nifi-registry:0.8.0
This will provision an instance of Apache Nifi Registry, exposing the instance UI to the host system on port 18080, viewable at http://localhost:18080/nifi-registry
In this configuration, the user will need to provide certificates and the associated configuration information.
Of particular note, is the AUTH
environment variable which is set to tls
. Additionally, the user must provide a
the DN as provided by an accessing client certificate in the INITIAL_ADMIN_IDENTITY
environment variable.
This value will be used to seed the instance with an initial user with administrative privileges.
Finally, this command makes use of a volume to provide certificates on the host system to the container instance.
docker run --name nifi-registry \
-v /Users/qabsu/local.nifi-registry/opt/certs:/opt/certs \
-p 8443:8443 \
-e AUTH=tls \
-e KEYSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/keystore.jks \
-e KEYSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
-e KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=${keystore-password} \
-e TRUSTSTORE_PATH=/opt/certs/truststore.jks \
-e TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=${truststore-password} \
-e TRUSTSTORE_TYPE=JKS \
-e INITIAL_ADMIN_IDENTITY='CN=Qabsu, O=Apache, OU=NiFi, C=AU' \
-d \
qabsu/apache-nifi-registry:0.8.0
