Solace Community is getting a facelift!
On March 3rd we will be starting the process of migrating Solace Community to a new platform. As a result, Solace Community will go in to a temporary read-only state. You will still be able to come onto Solace Community and search through posts to find answers, but you won't be able to ask questions, post comments, or react in any way.
We hope to have the migration complete by Wednesday March 5th (or sooner), so please keep an eye out!
How to create a rootless instance of PubSub+ in Ubuntu
As a follow on to my previous post announcing the availability of Rootless Containers with Podman, I recorded a quick video showing how easy it is to create a rootless instance of PubSub+ using Podman with Ubuntu 22.04 installed in WSL on my Windows desktop.
With rootless Podman, I was able to create an instance of PubSub+ all in my home directory using a standard non-privileged account with no need for sudo or any other root privilege by the container runtime or otherwise. For developers, this provides an easy way to test their applications against a PubSub+ broker running locally in their standard Linux account.
In the video, I install Podman using the instructions from podman.io and then I followed the procedure I used in my blog to create the rootless instance of PubSub+.
Creating a Rootless Instance of PubSub+ in Ubuntu
Here are some sample command-lines that you can use to get started:
mkdir storage-group podman unshare chown 1000:0 -R /home/<user>/storage-group
podman run -d -u 1000 --shm-size=1g \ -p 8080:8080 -p 55555:55555 -p 1943:1943 -p 1443:1443 -p 9443:9443 \ --env username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin \ --env username_admin_password=admin \ --net slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns \ --mount type=bind,source=/home/<user>/storage-group,destination=/var/lib/solace,relabel=private,ro=false \ --mount type=bind,source=/home/<user>/solace.pem,destination=/var/run/secrets/solace.pem,relabel=private,ro=false \ --env tls_servercertificate_filepath=/var/run/secrets/solace.pem \ --name solace docker.io/solace/solace-pubsub-standard:edge
