Deploy your 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​

Docker and Docker-Compose Requirement

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.

Git Requirement

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.
