Hosting on Windows

1. Install Docker Desktop

If you haven't already installed Docker Desktop, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Docker Desktop download page.
2. Download the Docker Desktop installer for Windows.
3. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. After installation, start Docker Desktop and make sure it's running.

2. Pull the "IronSecureDoc" Docker Image

Open a command prompt and pull the latest IronSecureDoc image from Docker Hub:

docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

3. Run the Container Without Certificate

Run the Docker container with the necessary environment variables:

docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

SHELL

Apply a Trial or License Key to Remove Watermarks

TippsReplace <IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> with your actual IronSecureDoc license key. Otherwise, a watermark will be applied on Enterprise Features.

4. Access the Container

Once the container is running, you can access IronSecureDoc by opening a web browser and navigating to:

http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html

You should see the IronSecureDoc interface, indicating that your container is running successfully.

5. Run the IronSecureDoc Container With Certificate

If you need to run the container with a certificate, follow these steps to generate the certificate and configure the local machine:

1. Generate Certificate:

   dotnet dev-certs https -ep %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\ironsecuredoc.pfx -p <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER>
   dotnet dev-certs https --trust

   dotnet dev-certs https -ep %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\ironsecuredoc.pfx -p <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER>
   dotnet dev-certs https --trust

   SHELL

   Replace <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER> with a password.

2. Run the Docker Container:

   docker container run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8080:8080 -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 -e HTTPS_PORTS=8081 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Production -v %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https:/https:ro -e CERTIFICATE_PATH=%USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\ironsecuredoc.pfx -e CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

   docker container run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8080:8080 -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 -e HTTPS_PORTS=8081 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Production -v %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https:/https:ro -e CERTIFICATE_PATH=%USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\ironsecuredoc.pfx -e CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

   SHELL

   Replace <IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> and <CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> with your actual IronSecureDoc license key and certificate password respectively.

6. Managing the Container

You can manage your running container using Docker commands. Here are a few useful commands:

• Stop the container:

  docker stop <container-id>

  docker stop <container-id>

  SHELL

• Start the container:

  docker start <container-id>

  docker start <container-id>

  SHELL

• Remove the container:

  docker rm -f <container-id>

  docker rm -f <container-id>

  SHELL

Replace <container-id> with the actual container ID or name.
