  1. To create a Docker image with a FactoryTalk Optix Application
  2. In
    FactoryTalk Optix Studio
    :
    1. Prepare a project to run in a
      Docker
       container. See Projects.
      TIP: (optional) If your application has GUI, replace the native presentation engine with a web presentation engine to access the application interface through web. See Presentation engines.
    2. Export the project for
      Ubuntu 22.04 x86 64-bit
       platform. See Export a FactoryTalk Optix Application.
  3. In an editor of choice, create a
    Dockerfile
     inside the folder that contains the exported application folder.
    Consider the following expected folder structure:
    C:\
  exported_application_folder\
  Dockerfile
    Consider the following minimal
    Dockerfile
     configuration:
    # Base image Ubuntu_22_x64
FROM ubuntu:22.04
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]

# Install dependencies and clean output image
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y libxcb-cursor0 libglib2.0-bin libltdl7 libevent-dev -qq
RUN apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get clean -y && apt-get autoclean -y

# Copy the FactoryTalk Optix Application
COPY ./FTOptixApplication /root/FTOptixApplication
RUN chmod +x /root/FTOptixApplication/FTOptixRuntime

# Default entry is the FactoryTalk Optix Application
ENTRYPOINT ["/root/FTOptixApplication/FTOptixRuntime", "-c"]
  4. In the terminal, create a
    Docker
     image by entering
    docker build -t
    image_name
    dockerfile_folder
    image_name
    The name of the image. For example:
    ftoptix-runtime
    dockerfile_folder
    Path to the folder that contains the
    Dockerfile
     and the exported application.
