Install the Contract Manager

This chapter gives an overview of deploying Contract Manager on Docker and the prerequisites of Docker installation.

The installation of the Contract Manager on Docker consists of two steps:

  1. Create an image for the Contract Manager. The image contains the software of the Contract Manager, but in a stopped state and without its configuration. This step runs AddKCM.exe and AddContractManager.exe on the prerequisite image.

  2. Start a container from the Contract Manager image. This step supplies the configuration for the Contract Manager and starts the software. This is accomplished by running StartContractManager.exe as the entry point process of the container.
