Install locally

This option allows you to run Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI in a containerized environment on your local machine. This option is recommended if you do have enough free capacity on your local machine to run the environment, a minimum of 64GB RAM and 80GB free disk are recommended. This option provides an environment with adequate resources for development and testing, but is not suitable for a production-sized deployment or performance testing.

Note: You only need to choose one of the three deployment options - local, OCI Free Tier or OCI Marketplace.

  1. Prerequisites

    The following prerequisites are required to run the local environment:

    • A container runtime environment such as Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop or Podman Desktop.
    • The ability to run a BASH script, or to read one and run equivalent commands in your environment.
    • 64GB RAM and 80GB free disk space.

  2. Download the required files

    • If you have not already done so, clone the Microservices Data-Driven GitHub repository:

      git clone https://github.com/oracle/microservices-datadriven

    • Change into the directory with the local environment files:

      cd microservices-datadriven/cloudbank-v4/local-environment

  3. Start the environment

    • Run the provided script to start the environment, including a Kubernetes cluster in a container (using k3s), Oracle Backend for Spring Boot and Microservices and an Oracle Database instance inside that cluster.

      ./obaas.sh

    • It will take approximately six to ten minutes (depending on the size of your machine) for all of the containers to reach ready/running state. You can watch the progress using this command:

      watch KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/k3s_data/kubeconfig/kubeconfig.yaml kubectl get pod -A

      Note: You will need to provide the KUBECONFIG variable as shown, or export it in your shell, each time you wish to run a kubectl command to access the cluster.

      When the environment is fully started, the output will appear similar to this:

      Completed startup Completed startup

  4. Verify access to web user interfaces

    • On your local machine, open a browser and navigate to the Spring Operations Center.

    • Log in using the pre-defined user obaas-admin and password Welcome-12345.

    Note: Since this is a development environment with no DNS name, it is configured with self-signed certificates. Your browser will warn you about the connection security.

    • If you are using Chrome, click on the Advanced link and then the Proceed to localhost (unsafe) link. If you are using a different browser, perform the equivalent actions.

    • The Spring Operations Center main dashboard will appear similar to this:
