Question

Build a Mendix Docker Image

0

Hello everyone,We have a requirement to deploy the mendix app on Openshift.Due to internal compliance requirements, we are not permitted to use Mendix buildpacks or any other resources sourced directly from public Git repositories. So is there any alternate solution to build the docker image of the app and deploy it ?

You do not have to use public Git repositories to deploy a Mendix app on OpenShift.

The standard approach is:

Download the Mendix Docker buildpack once and mirror it internally (Nexus, Artifactory, GitLab, etc.)
Build the Docker image only from internal sources
Push the image to a private registry and deploy it on OpenShift

There is no alternative official build mechanism for Mendix; in compliant environments, the supported solution is to internally mirror the Mendix buildpack.
