Base Docker images

ForgeRock provides 12 Docker images for deploying the ForgeRock Identity Platform:

Seven unsupported, evaluation-only base images:
- amster
- am-base
- am-config-upgrader
- ds
- idm
- ig
- java-11
Five supported base images that implement the platform’s user interface elements and ForgeOps operators:
- ds-operator
- platform-admin-ui
- platform-enduser-ui
- platform-login-ui
- secret-agent

The Docker images are publicly available in ForgeRock’s Docker registry, gcr.io/forgerock-io.

Which Docker images do I deploy?

I am a developer using the CDK.
- UI elements. Deploy the supported images from ForgeRock.
- Other platform elements. Either deploy:
  - The evaluation-only images from ForgeRock.
  - Docker images that are based on the evaluation-only images, but contain a customized configuration profile.
I am doing a proof-of-concept CDM deployment.
- UI elements. Deploy the supported images from ForgeRock.
- Other platform elements. Either deploy:
  - The evaluation-only images from ForgeRock.
  - Docker images that are based on the evaluation-only images, but contain a customized configuration profile.
I am deploying the platform in production.
- UI elements. Deploy the supported images from ForgeRock.
- Other platform elements. Deploy Docker images that are based on your own base images, but contain a customized configuration profile. ForgeRock does not support production deployments with Docker images based on the evaluation-only images.

Your own base Docker images

Perform the following steps to build base images for the seven unsupported, evaluation-only Docker images. After you’ve built your own base images, push them to your Docker registry:

Download the latest versions of the AM, Amster, IDM, and DS .zip files from the ForgeRock Download Center. Optionally, you can also download the latest version of the IG .zip file.
If you haven’t already done so, clone the forgeops and forgeops-extras repositories. For example:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/ForgeRock/forgeops.git
$ git clone https://github.com/ForgeRock/forgeops-extras.git
```
Both repositories are public; you do not need credentials to clone them.

Check out the forgeops repository’s release/7.2-20240117 branch:

$ cd /path/to/forgeops
$ git checkout release/7.2-20240117

Check out the forgeops-extras repository’s master branch:

$ cd /path/to/forgeops-extras
$ git checkout master

Build a Java 11 base image, which is required by several of the other Dockerfiles:

$ cd /path/to/forgeops-extras/images/java-11
$ docker build --tag my-registry/java-11 .

Build the base image for Amster. This image must be available in order to build the base image for AM in the next step:

Make a directory named amster.
Unzip the Amster .zip file into the new amster directory.
Change to the samples/docker directory in the expanded .zip file output.

Run the setup.sh script:

$ ./setup.sh

+ mkdir -p build
+ find ../.. '!' -name .. '!' -name samples '!' -name docker -maxdepth 1 -exec cp -R '{}' build/ ';'
+ cp ../../docker/amster-install.sh ../../docker/docker-entrypoint.sh ../../docker/export.sh ../../docker/tar.sh build

Edit the Dockerfile in the samples/docker directory. Change the line:
```
FROM gcr.io/forgerock-io/java-11:latest
```
to:
```
FROM my-registry/java-11
```

Push the new base Docker images to your Docker registry.

See your registry provider documentation for detailed instructions. For most Docker registries, you run the docker login command to log in to the registry. Then, you run the docker push command to push a Docker image to the registry.

Be sure to configure your Docker registry so that you can successfully push your Docker images. Each cloud-based Docker registry has its own specific requirements. For example, on Amazon ECR, you must create a repository for each image.

Push the following images:
- my-registry/am-base:7.2.1
- my-registry/amster:7.2.1
- my-registry/am-config-upgrader:7.2.1
- my-registry/ds-empty:7.2.4
- my-registry/idm:7.2.2
- my-registry/java-11
If you’re deploying your own IG base image, also push the my-registry/ig:2023.11.0 image.

Create Docker images for use in production

After you’ve built and pushed your own base images to your Docker registry, you’re ready to build customized Docker images that can be used in a production deployment of the ForgeRock Identity Platform. These images:

Contain customized configuration profiles for AM, IDM, and, optionally, IG.
Must be based on your own base Docker images.
Must not be based on ForgeRock’s evaluation-only Docker images.

Create your production-ready Docker images, create a Kubernetes cluster to test them, and delete the cluster when you’ve finished testing the images:

Clone the forgeops repository.
Obtain custom configuration profiles that you want to use in your Docker images from your developer, and copy them into your forgeops repository clone:
- Obtain the AM configuration profile from the /path/to/forgeops/docker/am/config-profiles directory.
- Obtain the IDM configuration profile from the /path/to/forgeops/docker/idm/config-profiles directory.
- (Optional) Obtain the IG configuration profile from the /path/to/forgeops/docker/ig/config-profiles directory.

Change the first lines of Dockerfiles in the forgeops repositories to refer to your own base Docker images:

In the forgeops repository file: Change the first line to:

In the `forgeops` repository file:	Change the first line to:
docker/am/Dockerfile	`FROM my-registry/am-base:7.2.1`
docker/amster/Dockerfile	`FROM my-registry/amster:7.2.1`
docker/ds/ds-new/Dockerfile	`FROM my-registry/ds-empty:7.2.4`
docker/idm/Dockerfile	`FROM my-registry/idm:7.2.2` ^[2]
(Optional) docker/ig/Dockerfile	`FROM my-registry/ig:2023.11.0`

docker/am/Dockerfile

FROM my-registry/am-base:7.2.1

docker/amster/Dockerfile

FROM my-registry/amster:7.2.1

docker/ds/ds-new/Dockerfile

FROM my-registry/ds-empty:7.2.4

docker/idm/Dockerfile

FROM my-registry/idm:7.2.2 ^[2]

(Optional) docker/ig/Dockerfile

FROM my-registry/ig:2023.11.0

If necessary, log in to your Docker registry.
Build Docker images that are based on your own base images. The AM and IDM images contain your customized configuration profiles:
```
$ cd /path/to/forgeops/bin
$ ./forgeops build ds --default-repo my-registry
$ ./forgeops build amster --default-repo my-registry
$ ./forgeops build am --default-repo my-registry --config-profile my-profile
$ ./forgeops build idm --default-repo my-registry --config-profile my-profile
```
The forgeops build command:
- Builds Docker images. The AM and IDM images incorporate customized configuration profiles.
- Pushes Docker images to the registry specified in the --default-repo argument.
- Updates the image defaulter file, which the forgeops install command uses to determine which Docker images to run.
(Optional) Build and push an IG Docker image that’s based on your own base image and contains your customized configuration profile:
```
$ ./forgeops build ig --config-profile my-profile --default-repo my-registry
```
Prepare a Kubernetes cluster to test your images:
1. Create the cluster. This example assumes that you create a cluster suitable for a small-sized CDM deployment.
2. Deploy an ingress controller in the cluster.
3. Create a namespace in the new cluster, and then make the new namespace the active namespace in your local Kubernetes context.

Install the CDM in your cluster:

$ ./forgeops install --small --fqdn cdm.example.com

Access the AM admin UI and the IDM admin UI, and verify that your customized configuration profiles are active.
Delete the Kubernetes cluster that you used to test images.

At the end of this process, the artifacts that you’ll need to deploy the ForgeRock Identity Platform in production are available:

Docker images for the ForgeRock Identity Platform, in your Docker registry
An updated image defaulter file, in your forgeops repository clone

You’ll need to copy the image defaulter file to your production deployment, so that when you run the forgeops install command, it will use the correct Docker images.

Typically, you model the image creation process in a CI/CD pipeline. Then, you run the pipeline at milestones in the development of your customized configuration profile.

1. The latest Dockerfile syntax version (1.7) throws an error when copying the git directory. So set the Dockerfile syntax version to 1.6 version to avoid the error.

2. The FROM statement originally contained idm-cdk as part of the registry name. Be sure to use idm, not idm-cdk, in the revised statement.
