In this article I'll show you how to set up in your laptop, very quickly, a cluster of IRIS nodes in sharding. It's not the goal of this article neither to talk about sharding in detail nor define a deployment of a production ready architecture, but to show how to set up quickly, in your own machine, a cluster of IRIS instances configured as shard nodes, with which you'll able to play and test this functionality. If you're insterested in knowing more about sharding in IRIS, take a look at the documentation clicking here.  

I have a flask application, its working locally. I also have a iris for health 2024.3 docker container front-ended with the iris nginx container.

I can configure the WSGI application with iris for health, give it a "url" (/flask or /csp/flask) but I cannot access the flask application. It looks like the url is not found within the nginx configuration. Is there any documentation or suggestion for configuration/enabling a flask app with a IRIS container front ended with the nginx container (provided by intersystems container registry) 

Just curious what the process is for debugging either a .py file that is uploaded to a specific namespace/location or a python classmethod defined in a .cls file.

My method can be run via the "Debug" breadcrumb but it doesnt hit breakpoints it just runs without a debugger. Also objectscript methods debug correctly

Hello,

When setting up a new web app in iris (iris is in a container) iris complains that a WSGI framework is not installed. I have installed python into the container as well as both flask and django via the python virtual environment (see second screenshot) and the python language server is running

Is this the wrong way to install flask? How do I get the container version to recoginize that flask is installed?

In a containerized environment, you can manage your container time via the TZ variable or via the /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime directories:

environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris

volumes:
    - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

Hi! I've extended my demo repository, andreas5588/demo-dbs-iris, to make it easy to test the FOREIGN SERVER and FOREIGN TABLE features in IRIS.

To achieve this, I created a namespace called FEDERATION. The idea is as follows:

1. Set up JDBC connections for each namespace.
2. Create a FOREIGN SERVER within the FEDERATION namespace for each connection.
3. Define a FOREIGN TABLE a least for one table based on each foreign server.

The Script:  demo-dbs-iris/src/sql/02_create_foreign_server.sql

Hi, I'm trying to use the iris python package to create a connection to and Iris Health instance (Docker Container), but getting and error. I can login to the instance using the UI with the same uname/password but unable to create the python connection. Any suggestions?

conn = iris.connect("testserver",52222,"%SYS","username","password")

After executing this I get an exception trap
An error occurred: Invalid Message Count: expected: 1 got: 825110831

Hi everyone,

I’m currently experimenting with the SQL Gateway Connection, CREATE FOREIGN SERVER, and the THROUGH command (IRIS Documentation). To speed up my tests, I’ve combined several DemoDataSets in a Docker container and would like to automate the creation of SQL Gateway Connections using code. 

(By the way, if you’re interested, the Docker container is available here: Demo DBs IRIS.)

Hi fellow developers in InterSystems IRIS!

I'm often being asked, especially related to technical bonuses we encourage for every Open Exchange contest why do we constantly give bonuses for Docker, IPM and ObjectScript Quality pass.

In fact, this is very easy to answer.

I have started working on utilizing Epic on FHIR about a month ago.

Creating a Public Private Key Pair

mkdir /home/ec2-user/path_to_key
openssl genrsa -out ./path_to_key/privatekey.pem 2048

For backend apps, you can export the public key to a base64 encoded X.509 certificate named publickey509.pem using this command...

openssl req -new -x509 -key ./path_to_key/privatekey.pem -out ./path_to_key/publickey509.pem -subj '/CN=medbank'

Monitor incremental changes in the database through scheduled tasks, display change trends through charts, set alarm thresholds, and write information to messages.log

How to use it

You can install it through Docker or ZPM

Deploying with Docker Prerequisites

Hello,

The title says it all. I’m building an IRIS image with docker-compose using a separate Dockerfile. Pretty straightforward procedure: I import a Installer script inside the container containing a Installer Manifest I defined. Within the manifest, I create a namespace with code and data databases in separate locations. My intention is to keep the code database inside the container, so whenever I build the container, the imported code is replaced. The data, however, should be persistent.

iris-docker-multi-stage-script

A python script to keep your docker iris images in shape ;)

Witout changing your dockerfile or your code you can reduce the size of your image by 50% or more !

TL;DR

Name the builder image builder and the final image final and add this to end of your Dockerfile:

Modify your Dockerfile to use a multi-stage build:

ARG IMAGE=intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:latest
FROM $IMAGE as builder

Add this to end of your Dockerfile:

FROM $IMAGE as final

ADD --chown=${ISC_PACKAGE_MGRUSER}:${ISC_PACKAGE_IRISGROUP} https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-docker-multi-stage-script/releases/latest/download/copy-data.py /irisdev/app/copy-data.py

RUN --mount=type=bind,source=/,target=/builder/root,from=builder \
    cp -f /builder/root/usr/irissys/iris.cpf /usr/irissys/iris.cpf && \
    python3 /irisdev/app/copy-data.py -c /usr/irissys/iris.cpf -d /builder/root/ 

Boom! You're done!

When it comes to build an iris image, we can use the cpf merge files.

Here is an cpf merge example:

Greetings dear community members!

I have recently been deploying an IRIS for Health image on a Docker with a preconfigured Webgateway image and I have come across the problem of the SSL configurations that allow us to connect to the IRIS instance using HTTPS and going through our Webgateway.

Until now I had always deployed IRIS for Health with a Community license, which still has the Private Web Server installed, so I only needed to configure the Webgateway connection with the deployed IRIS instance:

I'm trying to get the python external language server started up in a container I am starting. The container is up and running but I cannot get the python language server to start.This is the error that is coming back when trying to start the language server. I have tried creating a custom image with that package installed but it still does not work. Is there something specific that needs to be done to to get this working? (FYI, I have the dotnet version working but creating a custom image and installing the dotnet runtimes via a docker file)Base iris

When trying to build a custom container, I'm getting a <LICENSE LIMIT EXCEEDED> during the build process.

Will this stop the container for building? Do I need a license in order to build a custom container?

Using the Basic template for InterSystems IRIS development environment with Docker: github

If I use the Dockerfile_mini file and COPY a backup, the file shows up.

COPY ./20241104_1448.cbk /home/irisowner/dev 

ARG IMAGE=intersystemsdc/iris-community
FROM $IMAGE

WORKDIR /home/irisowner/dev
COPY ./20241104_1448.cbk /home/irisowner/dev
...

However if I use the Dockerfile with the additional features, the file is copied (via logs) but not on the container filesystem.

Is this a bug?

Introduction

Managing databases and performing CRUD operations are fundamental tasks for developers building data-driven applications. While many database management systems (DBMS) exist, they can be complex and cumbersome to interact with, especially when it comes to creating databases and tables, handling constraints, and performing real-time data operations through an API.

The test data generator is mainly used to generate test data, which can be used to generate test data for tables and fields to meet the needs of different fields according to different types, currently supports Text, Number, Enum, UUID, regular expression, Multiple date and time formats, and Time Seven different types
 

How to use:

1. Select a namespace, you can see all the tables under the namespace,

2. Select the table we want to generate test data from, click on the field, and select the type on the right

I want to try out iris-DataViz app to visualize my own data. I cloned the repo and docker-compose up -d in AWS. IRIS portal works, but on port 8051 I get nothing. I checked my AWS security groups. I reversed IRIS webserver port and 8051 and I can connect to Management portal using port 8051. I don't understand what is refusing connection on port 8051 running in iris-DataViz container.

Hi there,I'm discovering IRIS and I need to POC the solution, with a constraint: containerization.I'm used to deploy my apps in a Swarm cluster, and all my bind volumes are written on a GlusterFS volume.The problem here, when I start my stack, the first log is:[WARN] ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY is located on a mount of type 'fuse.glusterfs' which is not supported, consider a named volume for '/iris_conf'And of course the deployment fails.Any idea? How can I provide my data on all my cluster nodes? I read this article: https://community.intersystems.com/post/deploying-sharded-cluster-docke…

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone has run into an issue with <FILEFULL> when building an image from the ISC image? Specifically what's happening in our build is we are pre-loading our codebase into the image to make deployments faster and setting up source control, etc. When loading our libraries however we get hit with a <FILEFULL>. The resource limits on docker are pretty beefy and when observing resources on both the machine and container level we don't hit any issues. Oddly, this only happens when using the ARM64 version. When using the AMD64 version of 2024.1 it builds fine but I need
