Configure a CAS server and CAS management webapp with Docker

Posted on by

The task of setting up a CAS server on Docker is not very smooth. The official documentation is not very explicit about it.

We decided to write a post on this subject in order to help others to quickly configure a CAS server with a complete tutorial.

Warning : here we speak about deploying a TESTING CAS server, this configuration is not for production, especially to authorize any application !

First I would like to mention the very good articles on this site that were a very good basis :

As its name suggests, you can “dock” applications in an isolated manner, and it will work as a standalone system on your OS.

Although we recommend installing Datafari alone on systems when used in a productive environment, using Datafari on Docker allows you to quickly install Datafari without impacting the configuration and packages in place in your system. Just download the docker image, and the remainder is being taken care of by Docker.
