--- title: Deploying TDengine with Docker Description: "This chapter focuses on starting the TDengine service in a container and accessing it." --- This chapter describes how to start the TDengine service in a container and access it. Users can control the behavior of the service in the container by using environment variables on the docker run command-line or in the docker-compose file. ## Starting TDengine The TDengine image starts with the HTTP service activated by default, using the following command: ```shell docker run -d --name tdengine -p 6041:6041 tdengine/tdengine ``` The above command starts a container named "tdengine" and maps the HTTP service end 6041 to the host port 6041. You can verify that the HTTP service provided in this container is available using the following command. ```shell curl -u root:taosdata -d "show databases" localhost:6041/rest/sql ``` The TDengine client taos can be executed in this container to access TDengine using the following command. ```shell $ docker exec -it tdengine taos Welcome to the TDengine shell from Linux, Client Version:2.4.0.0 Copyright (c) 2020 by TAOS Data, Inc. taos> show databases; name | created_time | ntables | vgroups | replica | quorum | days | keep | cache(MB) | blocks | minrows | maxrows | wallevel | fsync | comp | cachelast | precision | update | status | status precision | update | status | ================================================================================================================================== ================================================================================================================================== ================ log | 2022-01-17 13:57:22.270 | 10 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 30 | 1 | 3 | 100 | 4096 | 1 | 3000 | 2 | 0 | us | 0 | ready | Query OK, 1 row(s) in set (0.002843s) ``` The TDengine server running in the container uses the container's hostname to establish a connection. Using TDengine CLI or various connectors (such as JDBC-JNI) to access the TDengine inside the container from outside the container is more complicated. So the above is the simplest way to access the TDengine service in the container and is suitable for some simple scenarios. Please refer to the next section if you want to access the TDengine service in the container from containerized using TDengine CLI or various connectors in some complex scenarios. ## Start TDengine on the host network ```shell docker run -d --name tdengine --network host tdengine/tdengine ``` The above command starts TDengine on the host network and uses the host's FQDN to establish a connection instead of the container's hostname. It works too, like using `systemctl` to start TDengine on the host. If the TDengine client is already installed on the host, you can access it directly with the following command. ```shell $ taos Welcome to the TDengine shell from Linux, Client Version:2.4.0.0 Copyright (c) 2020 by TAOS Data, Inc. taos> show dnodes; id | end_point | vnodes | cores | status | role | create_time | offline reason | ================================================================================================================================== ==== 1 | myhost:6030 | 1 | 8 | ready | any | 2022-01-17 22:10:32.619 | | Query OK, 1 row(s) in set (0.003233s) ``` ## Start TDengine with the specified hostname and port The `TAOS_FQDN` environment variable or the `fqdn` configuration item in `taos.cfg` allows TDengine to establish a connection at the specified hostname. This approach provides greater flexibility for deployment. ```shell docker run -d \ --name tdengine \ -e TAOS_FQDN=tdengine \ -p 6030-6049:6030-6049 \ -p 6030-6049:6030-6049/udp \ tdengine/tdengine ``` The above command starts a TDengine service in the container, which listens to the hostname tdengine, and maps the container's port segment 6030 to 6049 to the host's port segment 6030 to 6049 (both TCP and UDP ports need to be mapped). If the port segment is already occupied on the host, you can modify the above command to specify a free port segment on the host. If `rpcForceTcp` is set to `1`, you can map only the TCP protocol. Next, ensure the hostname "tdengine" is resolvable in `/etc/hosts`. ```shell echo 127.0.0.1 tdengine |sudo tee -a /etc/hosts ``` Finally, the TDengine service can be accessed from the taos shell or any connector with "tdengine" as the server address. ```shell taos -h tdengine -P 6030 ``` If set `TAOS_FQDN` to the same hostname, the effect is the same as "Start TDengine on host network". ## Start TDengine on the specified network You can also start TDengine on a specific network. 1. First, create a docker network named `td-net` ```shell docker network create td-net ``` Create td-net 2. Start TDengine Start the TDengine service on the `td-net` network with the following command: ```shell docker run -d --name tdengine --network td-net \ -e TAOS_FQDN=tdengine \ tdengine/tdengine ``` 3. Start the TDengine client in another container on the same network ```shell docker run --rm -it --network td-net -e TAOS_FIRST_EP=tdengine tdengine/tdengine taos # or # docker run --rm -it --network td-net -e tdengine/tdengine taos -h tdengine ``` ## Launching a client application in a container If you want to start your application in a container, you need to add the corresponding dependencies on TDengine to the image as well, e.g. ```docker FROM ubuntu:20.04 RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget ENV TDENGINE_VERSION=2.4.0.0 RUN wget -c https://www.taosdata.com/assets-download/TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && tar xvf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && cd TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} \ && ./install_client.sh \ && cd ../ \ && rm -rf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} ## add your application next, eg. go, build it in builder stage, copy the binary to the runtime #COPY --from=builder /path/to/build/app /usr/bin/ #CMD ["app"] ``` Here is an example GO program: ```go /* * In this test program, we'll create a database and insert 4 records then select out. */ package main import ( "database/sql" "flag" "fmt" "time" _ "github.com/taosdata/driver-go/v2/taosSql" ) type config struct { hostName string serverPort string user string password string } var configPara config var taosDriverName = "taosSql" var url string func init() { flag.StringVar(&configPara.hostName, "h", "", "The host to connect to TDengine server.") flag.StringVar(&configPara.serverPort, "p", "", "The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection to TDengine server.") flag.StringVar(&configPara.user, "u", "root", "The TDengine user name to use when connecting to the server.") flag.StringVar(&configPara.password, "P", "taosdata", "The password to use when connecting to the server.") flag.Parse() } func printAllArgs() { fmt.Printf("============= args parse result: =============\n") fmt.Printf("hostName: %v\n", configPara.hostName) fmt.Printf("serverPort: %v\n", configPara.serverPort) fmt.Printf("usr: %v\n", configPara.user) fmt.Printf("password: %v\n", configPara.password) fmt.Printf("================================================\n") } func main() { printAllArgs() url = "root:taosdata@/tcp(" + configPara.hostName + ":" + configPara.serverPort + ")/" taos, err := sql.Open(taosDriverName, url) checkErr(err, "open database error") defer taos.Close() taos.Exec("create database if not exists test") taos.Exec("use test") taos.Exec("create table if not exists tb1 (ts timestamp, a int)") _, err = taos.Exec("insert into tb1 values(now, 0)(now+1s,1)(now+2s,2)(now+3s,3)") checkErr(err, "failed to insert") rows, err := taos.Query("select * from tb1") checkErr(err, "failed to select") defer rows.Close() for rows.Next() { var r struct { ts time.Time a int } err := rows.Scan(&r.ts, &r.a) if err != nil { fmt.Println("scan error:\n", err) return } fmt.Println(r.ts, r.a) } } func checkErr(err error, prompt string) { if err != nil { fmt.Println("ERROR: %s\n", prompt) panic(err) } } ``` Here is the full Dockerfile: ```docker FROM golang:1.17.6-buster as builder ENV TDENGINE_VERSION=2.4.0.0 RUN wget -c https://www.taosdata.com/assets-download/TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && tar xvf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && cd TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} \ && ./install_client.sh \ && cd ../ \ && rm -rf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} WORKDIR /usr/src/app/ ENV GOPROXY="https://goproxy.io,direct" COPY ./main.go ./go.mod ./go.sum /usr/src/app/ RUN go env RUN go mod tidy RUN go build FROM ubuntu:20.04 RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget ENV TDENGINE_VERSION=2.4.0.0 RUN wget -c https://www.taosdata.com/assets-download/TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && tar xvf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz \ && cd TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} \ && ./install_client.sh \ && cd ../ \ && rm -rf TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION}-Linux-x64.tar.gz TDengine-client-${TDENGINE_VERSION} ## add your application next, eg. go, build it in builder stage, copy the binary to the runtime COPY --from=builder /usr/src/app/app /usr/bin/ CMD ["app"] ``` Now that we have `main.go`, `go.mod`, `go.sum`, `app.dockerfile`, we can build the application and start it on the `td-net` network. ```shell $ docker build -t app -f app.dockerfile $ docker run --rm --network td-net app -h tdengine -p 6030 ============= args parse result: ============= hostName: tdengine serverPort: 6030 usr: root password: taosdata ================================================ 2022-01-17 15:56:55.48 +0000 UTC 0 2022-01-17 15:56:56.48 +0000 UTC 1 2022-01-17 15:56:57.48 +0000 UTC 2 2022-01-17 15:56:58.48 +0000 UTC 3 2022-01-17 15:58:01.842 +0000 UTC 0 2022-01-17 15:58:02.842 +0000 UTC 1 2022-01-17 15:58:03.842 +0000 UTC 2 2022-01-17 15:58:04.842 +0000 UTC 3 2022-01-18 01:43:48.029 +0000 UTC 0 2022-01-18 01:43:49.029 +0000 UTC 1 2022-01-18 01:43:50.029 +0000 UTC 2 2022-01-18 01:43:51.029 +0000 UTC 3 ``` ## Start the TDengine cluster with docker-compose 1. The following docker-compose file starts a TDengine cluster with two replicas, two management nodes, two data nodes, and one arbitrator. ```docker version: "3" services: arbitrator: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION command: tarbitrator td-1: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION environment: TAOS_FQDN: "td-1" TAOS_FIRST_EP: "td-1" TAOS_NUM_OF_MNODES: "2" TAOS_REPLICA: "2" TAOS_ARBITRATOR: arbitrator:6042 volumes: - taosdata-td1:/var/lib/taos/ - taoslog-td1:/var/log/taos/ td-2: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION environment: TAOS_FQDN: "td-2" TAOS_FIRST_EP: "td-1" TAOS_NUM_OF_MNODES: "2" TAOS_REPLICA: "2" TAOS_ARBITRATOR: arbitrator:6042 volumes: - taosdata-td2:/var/lib/taos/ - taoslog-td2:/var/log/taos/ volumes: taosdata-td1: taoslog-td1: taosdata-td2: taoslog-td2: ``` :::note - The `VERSION` environment variable is used to set the tdengine image tag - `TAOS_FIRST_EP` must be set on the newly created instance so that it can join the TDengine cluster; if there is a high availability requirement, `TAOS_SECOND_EP` needs to be used at the same time - `TAOS_REPLICA` is used to set the default number of database replicas. Its value range is [1,3] We recommend setting with `TAOS_ARBITRATOR` to use arbitrator in a two-nodes environment. ::: 2. Start the cluster ```shell $ VERSION=2.4.0.0 docker-compose up -d Creating network "test_default" with the default driver Creating volume "test_taosdata-td1" with default driver Creating volume "test_taoslog-td1" with default driver Creating volume "test_taosdata-td2" with default driver Creating volume "test_taoslog-td2" with default driver Creating test_td-1_1 ... done Creating test_arbitrator_1 ... done Creating test_td-2_1 ... done ``` 3. Check the status of each node ```shell $ docker-compose ps Name Command State Ports --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- test_arbitrator_1 /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh tar ... Up 6030/tcp, 6031/tcp, 6032/tcp, 6033/tcp, 6034/tcp, 6035/tcp, 6036/tcp, 6037/tcp, 6038/tcp, 6039/tcp, 6040/tcp, 6041/tcp, 6042/tcp test_td-1_1 /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh taosd Up 6030/tcp, 6031/tcp, 6032/tcp, 6033/tcp, 6034/tcp, 6035/tcp, 6036/tcp, 6037/tcp, 6038/tcp, 6039/tcp, 6040/tcp, 6041/tcp, 6042/tcp test_td-2_1 /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh taosd Up 6030/tcp, 6031/tcp, 6032/tcp, 6033/tcp, 6034/tcp, 6035/tcp, 6036/tcp, 6037/tcp, 6038/tcp, 6039/tcp, 6040/tcp, 6041/tcp, 6042/tcp ``` 4. Show dnodes via TDengine CLI ```shell $ docker-compose exec td-1 taos -s "show dnodes" Welcome to the TDengine shell from Linux, Client Version:2.4.0.0 Copyright (c) 2020 by TAOS Data, Inc. All rights reserved. taos> show dnodes id | end_point | vnodes | cores | status | role | create_time | offline reason | ====================================================================================================================================== 1 | td-1:6030 | 1 | 8 | ready | any | 2022-01-18 02:47:42.871 | | 2 | td-2:6030 | 0 | 8 | ready | any | 2022-01-18 02:47:43.518 | | 0 | arbitrator:6042 | 0 | 0 | ready | arb | 2022-01-18 02:47:43.633 | - | Query OK, 3 row(s) in set (0.000811s) ``` ## taosAdapter 1. taosAdapter is enabled by default in the TDengine container. If you want to disable it, specify the environment variable `TAOS_DISABLE_ADAPTER=true` at startup 2. At the same time, for flexible deployment, taosAdapter can be started in a separate container ```docker services: # ... adapter: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION command: taosadapter ```` Suppose you want to deploy multiple taosAdapters to improve throughput and provide high availability. In that case, the recommended configuration method uses a reverse proxy such as Nginx to offer a unified access entry. For specific configuration methods, please refer to the official documentation of Nginx. Here is an example: ```docker ersion: "3" networks: inter: api: services: arbitrator: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION command: tarbitrator networks: - inter td-1: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION networks: - inter environment: TAOS_FQDN: "td-1" TAOS_FIRST_EP: "td-1" TAOS_NUM_OF_MNODES: "2" TAOS_REPLICA: "2" TAOS_ARBITRATOR: arbitrator:6042 volumes: - taosdata-td1:/var/lib/taos/ - taoslog-td1:/var/log/taos/ td-2: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION networks: - inter environment: TAOS_FQDN: "td-2" TAOS_FIRST_EP: "td-1" TAOS_NUM_OF_MNODES: "2" TAOS_REPLICA: "2" TAOS_ARBITRATOR: arbitrator:6042 volumes: - taosdata-td2:/var/lib/taos/ - taoslog-td2:/var/log/taos/ adapter: image: tdengine/tdengine:$VERSION command: taosadapter networks: - inter environment: TAOS_FIRST_EP: "td-1" TAOS_SECOND_EP: "td-2" deploy: replicas: 4 nginx: image: nginx depends_on: - adapter networks: - inter - api ports: - 6041:6041 - 6044:6044/udp command: [ "sh", "-c", "while true; do curl -s http://adapter:6041/-/ping >/dev/null && break; done; printf 'server{listen 6041;location /{proxy_pass http://adapter:6041;}}' > /etc/nginx/conf.d/rest.conf; printf 'stream{server{listen 6044 udp;proxy_pass adapter:6044;}}' >> /etc/nginx/nginx.conf;cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf; nginx -g 'daemon off;'", ] volumes: taosdata-td1: taoslog-td1: taosdata-td2: taoslog-td2: ``` ## Deploy with docker swarm If you want to deploy a container-based TDengine cluster on multiple hosts, you can use docker swarm. First, to establish a docker swarm cluster on these hosts, please refer to the official docker documentation. The docker-compose file can refer to the previous section. Here is the command to start TDengine with docker swarm: ```shell $ VERSION=2.4.0 docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml taos Creating network taos_inter Creating network taos_api Creating service taos_arbitrator Creating service taos_td-1 Creating service taos_td-2 Creating service taos_adapter Creating service taos_nginx ``` Checking status: ```shell $ docker stack ps taos ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS 79ni8temw59n taos_nginx.1 nginx:latest TM1701 Running Running about a minute ago 3e94u72msiyg taos_adapter.1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1702 Running Running 56 seconds ago 100amjkwzsc6 taos_td-2.1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1703 Running Running about a minute ago pkjehr2vvaaa taos_td-1.1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1704 Running Running 2 minutes ago tpzvgpsr1qkt taos_arbitrator.1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1705 Running Running 2 minutes ago rvss3g5yg6fa taos_adapter.2 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1706 Running Running 56 seconds ago i2augxamfllf taos_adapter.3 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1707 Running Running 56 seconds ago lmjyhzccpvpg taos_adapter.4 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 TM1708 Running Running 56 seconds ago $ docker service ls ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS 561t4lu6nfw6 taos_adapter replicated 4/4 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 3hk5ct3q90sm taos_arbitrator replicated 1/1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 d8qr52envqzu taos_nginx replicated 1/1 nginx:latest *:6041->6041/tcp, *:6044->6044/udp 2isssfvjk747 taos_td-1 replicated 1/1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 9pzw7u02ichv taos_td-2 replicated 1/1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 ``` From the above output, you can see two dnodes, two taosAdapters, and one Nginx reverse proxy service. Next, we can reduce the number of taosAdapter services. ```shell $ docker service scale taos_adapter=1 taos_adapter scaled to 1 overall progress: 1 out of 1 tasks 1/1: running [==================================================>] verify: Service converged $ docker service ls -f name=taos_adapter ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS 561t4lu6nfw6 taos_adapter replicated 1/1 tdengine/tdengine:2.4.0 ```
