Deploy using Docker configuration

Use these Docker configurations to deploy WProofreader Server.

Choose a deployment option

For production, build a custom image. For trials, you can run our public image directly.

Option 1 (recommended): Prebuilt configuration (Ubuntu)

Use Dockerfile.ubuntu-prebuilt. It pulls a prebuilt Ubuntu base image from Docker Hub. It does not require an installation package.

• Build instructions: Build using prebuilt configuration

Option 2: Dockerfile (Ubuntu, installation package required)

Use Dockerfile. It installs WProofreader from a support-provided wsc_app_*.tar.gz package.

• Build instructions: Build using Dockerfile

Option 3: Dockerfile.redhat (Red Hat UBI 9, installation package required)

Use Dockerfile.redhat. It is similar to the Ubuntu Dockerfile. It uses redhat/ubi9 as the base image.

Use this if your environment requires UBI-based images. If you are unsure, stick to the prebuilt Ubuntu configuration.

Offline production environments

If the production host has no Internet access, build the image elsewhere. Then transfer it as a tar archive.

• Instructions: Build without internet connection

Licensing

You can activate the license during the image build or on container startup. Build-time activation is recommended for production.

• Details: License activation in Docker

Trials using the public Docker Hub image

You can run webspellchecker/wproofreader:<tag> without building an image. This is useful for evaluation.

• Details: Run the image from Docker Hub
