Configuration

Docker Container

You must set the following environment variables to run the Docker container:

• POLL_URL: URL pointing towards a swagger configuration file (see configuration / swagger)

Advanced

It optionally accepts the following arguments:

• POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS: The refresh interval in seconds.
  • Default is 300 (5 minutes).
• SWAGGER_ROOT: The swagger root folder, if using custom nginx configuration.
  • Default ist /usr/share/nginx/html.

The default exposed port is 8080.

Node.js

The image uses Node.js internally for polling. You can add any environment variables you like to configure the Node.js process. E.g. add custom truststore via NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS etc.

Swagger

Because of a known issue the swagger configuration currently has to be in json-format. yaml does not work. A sample swagger-config.json:

{
  "urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bbortt/swagger-ui-demo/master/files/pet-api.json",
      "name": "PetAPI"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bbortt/swagger-ui-demo/master/files/store-api.json",
      "name": "StoreAPI"
    }
  ],
  "urls.primaryName": "PetAPI"
}

Running the Container

The following command demonstrates a sample container start:

docker run \
  --rm \
  -p 80:8080 \
  -e POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS=60 \
  -e POLL_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bbortt/swagger-ui-demo/master/swagger-config.json \
