# Setting up the Docker evaluation environment

Start and set up the Docker evaluation environment.

## About this task

To start and set up the Docker containers:

## Steps

1. Run the following command on the host Ubuntu machine:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/docker-poc$sudo ./bin/start.sh setup
   ```

   ### Result:

   ```
   sudo ./bin/start.sh setup
   Tue Dec 28 02:03:14 MST 2021 : Starting setup scripts
   ASE is running in inline mode and POC mode is set to true
   Training period configured: 1 hour(s)
   Creating network pingidentity_net
   Creating service pingidentity_mongo
   Creating service pingidentity_dashboard
   Creating service pingidentity_kafka
   Creating service pingidentity_server
   Creating service pingidentity_ase
   Creating service pingidentity_abs
   Creating service pingidentity_client
   Creating service pingidentity_apipublish
   Creating service pingidentity_zookeeper
   Tue Dec 28 02:04:47 MST 2021 : Setup successful
   ```

2. Wait for a minute after the successful completion of the setup and run the following command to verify that API Security Enforcer (ASE) and API Behavioral Security (ABS) have started:

   ```
   #sudo docker service logs pingidentity_ase | grep 'API Security Enforcer started'
   #sudo docker service logs pingidentity_abs | grep 'ABS started'
   ```

   ### Troubleshooting:

   If a wrong license is installed, you receive the following error message:

   ```
   Fri Jun 18 06:32:27 UTC 2021 : Starting setup scripts
   License not found. Please place PingIntelligence.lic file at /<pi-inistallpath>/pingidentity/docker-poc/license/ location
   ```
