Deploy an operator
An operator is the root of trust in your validation process. Hence, for security reasons, it is highly recommended to run your own operator in your infrastructure. Once installed and deployed, your operator can be used by your applications by changing the operator's information.
Download, configure and run the operator
To run an operator, be sure to have Docker and Docker-Compose installed in your system. Docker is a crucial technical layer to made the installation of our components easy.
Be sure to have git installed in your system to download the repository.
First, download the repository containing our docker-compose.yml to run the operator as well as
our example environment variables file .env.example. Duplicate the example configuration file
to get a .env file and finally run the operator using docker.
The commands to perform all these steps are given below :
git clone https://github.com/Carmentis/carmentis-operator-docker.git
cd carmentis-operator-docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up
Configure and run the application
The configure your application to use your own operator instead of the operator of Carmentis, update the environment
variables CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_HOST AND CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_PORT in the .env of your application.
Using the .env.example file, the configuration for your application should be the following:
...
# Operator host and port. This tutorial is based on the already running operating available
# at https://testapps.carmentis.io. Modify only if you want to run your own operator.
CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_HOST=https://testapps.carmentis.io
CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_PORT=443
CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_HOST=http://localhost
CARMENTIS_OPERATOR_PORT=3005
...
Then, restart your application.
