This will be a Docker image for running simple, one-way replication using SymmetricDS.
Please note, this image is not yet ready for production.
Make sure you have Docker and [Docker Compose] installed on your system and run:
$ git clone git@github.com:UKHomeOffice/docker-symmetricds.git
$ cd docker-symmetricds
$ make
$ docker-compose upConfiguration is available using environment variables in order to configure the symmetric container.
GROUP_ID: <Node Group that this Node is a member of. [SymmetricDSGroups]>
DB_HOST: <Database host name>
DB_SSL: Defines whether or not to use SSL/TLS. Set to FALSE to disable. Defaults to TRUE.
DB_CA: A base64 encoded CA certificate to verify the database's certificate against. If no certificate is provided then the certificate will not be verified.
DB_TYPE: <Used to tell symmetric what JDBC driver to use. Can be mysql, postgres or oracle. Defaults to postgres.>
DB_NAME: <Database name>
DB_USER: <Database user>
DB_PASS: <Database password
USERNAME: <Username for basic auth>
PASSWORD: <Password for basic auth>
SYNC_URL: <URL where this Node can be contacted for synchronization. At startup and during each heartbeat, the Node updates its entry in the database with this URL>
REGISTRATION_URL: <URL where this Node can connect for registration to receive its configuration. The registration server is part of SymmetricDS and is enabled as part of the deployment>
HTTPS: <A flag to allow TLS termination. Defaults to TRUE. When set to FALSE will listen on the HTTP port, accepting insecure traffic.>
HTTPS_CRT: <HTTPS certificate to use if terminating TLS.
HTTPS_KEY: <Key for provided certificate.>
HTTPS_CA_BUNDLE: <Certificate authority for HTTPS used to verify other nodes. In a two node setup this could be the other nodes public certificate.>
REPLICATE_TO: <Name of symmetric GROUP_ID to replicate to.>
REPLICATE_TABLES: <Name of tables (space separated) and optional columns to replicate (columns are specified with a pipe and the comma separation). See [docker-compose] for more info.>
LOG_LEVEL: <Set the log4j level. Can be: OFF, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE, ALL. Defaults to WARN>
DATA_LOG_LEVEL: <Set the log4j level on things that may output data. Can be: OFF, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE, ALL. Defaults to FATAL>
Targets can be clustered in the example docker-compose files by simply using scale for example:
docker-compose up --scale symds_target=2
This will create a cluster of two targets.
You can check out a pretty standard example of a replication using a source and target (postgres to postgres) using the following docker-compose.
To see basic auth in action please check out docker-compose-basic-auth.
A basic example of a k8s deployment for target-mode.
