Is indy vdr setup mandatory for tailsserver

[abhimin]

I'm trying to build and run tails server with docker file using the docker.tails_server docker file statements.

Docker build is fine but when I run image getting indy vdr url is missing.

Please suggest to setup tails server without manage scripts.

Are you starting the container in the same fashion is it is being started in the docker-compose file (https://github.com/bcgov/indy-tails-server/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml#L18-L23)?

[abhimin]

Yes using same commands like.

docker run -p 6543:6543 imagename tails-server
--host 0.0.0.0
--port 6543
--storage-path $STORAGE_PATH
--log-level $LOG_LEVEL

[WadeBarnes]

Have you supplied values for the $STORAGE_PATH and $LOG_LEVEL variables?

[WadeBarnes]

This works for me:

wade@Morpheus MINGW64 ~
$ docker run -it -p 6543:6543 docker_tails-server tails-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 6543 --storage-path /tmp/tails-files --log-level INFO
======== Running on http://0.0.0.0:6543 ========

I'm using same docker syntax as in tailserver file
Only I changed von-image:next statement...but still getting error like
The following arguments are required: --indy-vdr-proxy-url

FROM bcgovimages/von-image:node-1.12-6

ADD requirements.txt .
ADD requirements.dev.txt .

RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt -r requirements.dev.txt

ADD tails_server ./tails_server
ADD bin ./bin
ADD README.md ./
ADD setup.py ./

RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -e .

ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "-c", "tails-server "$@""]

[WadeBarnes]

Ah, you can't use the bcgovimages/von-image:node-1.12-6 as the base image for the tails server. I'm curious as to why you want to do that. The tails server is meant to be a separate standalone server from the rest of the ledger and network components. bcgovimages/von-image:next-1 contains some of the dependencies needed for the tails server, namely indy-vdr.

[abhimin]

Actually I tried to build with main branch code base but I got few errors with dependencies .
I have found in a issue saying to change image version and few dependencies in requirements.txt, that is why I'm using the above version.

Can you please confirm to use the main branch of tailserver without any changes in docker image version and requirements.txt

[WadeBarnes]

Yes, I was using the image built from the latest source on main and using the ./manage build command.

[abhimin]

Im able to build and run in my local...

Can you please share some info on how to use the tailsserver setup using current main repo in production environment.

[WadeBarnes]

Here are some example OpenShift configurations for the tails server; https://github.com/bcgov/trust-over-ip-configurations/tree/main/openshift/templates/tails-server
