Building a sample base IBM MQ queue manager image

In order to use IBM MQ in your own container image, we need initially to build a base image with a clean IBM MQ installation. The following steps show you how to build a sample base image, using sample code hosted on GitHub.


Procedure

Use the make files supplied in the mq-container GitHub repository to build your production container image.

Follow the instructions in Building a container image on GitHub. If we plan to configure secure access using the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform restricted Security Context Constraint (SCC), we must use the 'No-Install' IBM MQ package.


Results

You now have a base container image with IBM MQ installed.

You are now ready to build a sample configured IBM MQ queue manager image.
