siliconchris/hxe repository overview

⁠Introduction

This is an experimental repo designed to explore the possibility of providing the newly released SAP HANA Express Edition from within a docker container.

Whether or not this is possible and if so, how to achieve this is the goal and the why this repo was created.

The question of sense, that is "does it make sense to run SAP HANA from a docker image?" will probably not be in focus too much, but who knows :-)

⁠Build instructions

Choose the desired state from the roadmap, copy the Dockerfile content that corresponds to your version, you will usually want to use the latest, and create an empty directory with the Dockerfile in it.

CD into the directory with the docker file and execute

docker build -t hxe .

⁠Run instructions

To start a container, pull the image and execute

docker run --privileged --rm -ti -e 'container=docker' -h hxehost --network="bridge" --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /tmp -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro siliconchris/hxe:v0.0.2 /bin/bash

Login as root with passed docker1

⁠Roadmap

• Version 0.0.1 Installs additional software components on top of opensuse/amd64
• Version 0.0.2 Adds volumes for tempfs plus installs libopenssl-0.9.8 and ifconfig

Future releases

• Version 0.0.3 Adds binary installer and configuration settings for SAP HANA Express Edition
• Version 0.0.4 Will, hopefully, have the SAP HANA Express Edition installed and
• Version 0.0.5 May have a SAP HANA Express Edition that is automatically started upon creation
