Overview

DirX provides two packages for DirX Directory containerization:

  • An example container image of a full, standalone DirX Directory installation. This package can be deployed “as is” or used as a building block for creating shadowing and other configurations in a containerized environment.

  • An example Kubernetes project that demonstrates the use and capabilities of the DirX Directory container image. This package can be used as a reference or development base when containerizing a custom DirX Directory installation.

This document assumes familiarity with DirX Directory, Kubernetes, and Docker terms, concepts, and tools and provides only the specifics for using the packages with each product. Using the packages described here requires at least a basic understanding of these products.
