Getting Started Guide

# Deploy Knowledge Discovery Docker Compose System

This section describes how to deploy and start your Knowledge Discovery Docker Compose system.

1. Obtain the Docker Compose files, for example:

       git clone https://github.com/opentext-idol/idol-containers-toolkit

2. Modify the environment file to specify the License Server IP address, and a HTTP Proxy if required. See Modify the Environment Files.

3. (`basic-idol` only) Make any required updates to the YAML files for your particular options. You must modify the YAML when you want to use a bindmount, or document security. See Update YAML Files.

4. Run the `docker-compose up` command to build and run the containers. See Run Docker Commands.

You can also optionally set up SSL/TLS communications between the components in your containers. In this case, you must provide the required certificates, or a means to generate them. There are also additional environment variables to set. See Use SSL/TLS Communications.
