Preparing docker-compose file

Here is a docker compose file template you need to create:

version: '3.3'
services:
	node:
	image: "ci.rpaplatform.org:8080/rpaplatform/easy-rpa-node-agent:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
	volumes:
	- "./node.json:/node.json"
	- "./cert/rpa-trust.jks:/rpa-trust.jks"
	restart: "always"
	logging:
		driver: "json-file"
		options:
		max-file: "5"
		max-size: "10m"
	environment:
	- "TZ=${TZ}"
	- "TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=${TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD}"
	ports:
	- "7900:7900"

Depending on the selected image you can connect to UI using NOVNC http service, in this case you should externalize the image port 7900. Use the http://<DOCKER_HOST>:7900/?autoconnect=1&resize=scale&password=secret
