Using ThingWorx Docker in an HA Clustering Environment

Using ThingWorx Docker in a high availability (HA) clustering environment requires multiple Docker images, including ThingWorx itself and some additional supporting images. This topic covers how to set up, build, and configure the supporting Docker images and the ThingWorx image. The supporting images include Apache Ignite and ThingWorx Connection Server. These supporting images must be built before the ThingWorx image.

You can download all of the Dockerfiles from the ThingWorx Platform part of the PTC Software Downloads site.
