⁠ListenHTTP Processor

The standard library has a built-in processor for an HTTP endpoint listener. That processor is named ListenHTTP⁠. You should set the Listening Port of the instantiated processor to 8081 if you follow the instructions from above.

⁠Usage

This image can either be used as a base image for building on top of NiFi or just to experiment with. I personally have not attempted to use this in a production use case.

Please use corresponding branches from this repo to play with code.

⁠Pre-Requisites

Ensure the following pre-requisites are met (due to some blocker bugs in earlier versions). As of today, the latest Docker Toolbox and Homebrew are fine.

• Docker 1.10+
• Docker Machine 0.6.0+
• Kitematic 0.12

(all downloadable as a single Docker Toolbox⁠ package as well)

⁠How to use from Kitematic

1. Start Kitematic
2. Enter xemuliam in serach box
3. Choose nifi-base image
4. Click Create button

Kitematic will assign all ports and you'll be able to run NiFi web-interface directly from Kitematic.

⁠How to use from Docker CLI

1. Start Docker Quickstart Terminal
2. Run command docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -p 8443:8443 xemuliam/nifi-base
3. Check Docker machine IP docker-machine ls
4. Use IP from previous step in address bar of your favorite browser, e.g. http://192.168.99.100:8080/nifi

⁠Enjoy! :)
