Overview

Requirements

• Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
• Docker Compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
• Disk Space: under 7GB
• RAM and CPU: no special requirements (2GB RAM)

Startup

• Go to the nifi-docker folder
• Start and build the Container using docker compose:
  • docker compose up --build
• Wait until the application has started
• The Nifi Web-Interface including the data-flow at: https://localhost:8443/nifi
  • login data:
    • user: admin
    • pw: test12345678
• For the conversion you first have to start the existing Nifi Controller services

Stopping container

• stop container: ctrl+c (docker compose down)

Other Info

• all data is persisted in local folder ./data/
• Files can be shared via the shared_folder between the container and your machine

Trouble shooting

• if container does not start (warning: this might delete component configuration!):

  1. stop container: ctrl+c, docker compose down -v

  2. remove current configuration: rm data/conf/* -rf

  3. copy ./backup/conf to ./data/conf: cp ./backup/conf/* ./data/conf/ -rf

  4. docker compose up --force-recreate --build
