DB2 Docker Compose Example

This repo provides an example of how to set up a Docker machine running a DB2 instance using a docker-compose.yml file. It provides customisable environment variables for setting your default DB2 database name and password for the db2inst1 user.

Prerequisites

It is assumed that Docker is installed on your machine prior to usage. Please see the Docker website for information on installing Docker.

Usage Instructions

1. Clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/dmallory42/db2-docker-compose.git

2. Navigate to the folder using Bash/ZSH/your Terminal of choice.

3. Use the command cp .env.sample .env to create a copy of the environment file.

4. Open the .env file and edit it to set the DB2 database name and password as desired.

5. Run docker-compose up -d to start the machine. DB2 will take a few minutes to perform initial installation and setup.

6. You can monitor the status by finding the container name by running docker ps then showing the logs by running docker logs <container-name>. You should see a message similar to 'Setup has completed.' when the machine has finished the initial setup.

7. You can connect to the database using your DB browser of choice using the following settings:

   HOST: 127.0.0.1
   PORT: 50000
   USERNAME: db2inst1
   PASSWORD: <your_password>
   DB_NAME: <your_db_name>
