ListenHTTP Processor

The standard library has a built-in processor for an HTTP endpoint listener. That processor is named ListenHTTP. You should set the Listening Port of the instantiated processor to 8081 if you follow the instructions from above.

Usage

This image can either be used as a base image for building on top of NiFi or just to experiment with. I personally have not attempted to use this in a production use case.

Please use corresponding branches from this repo to play with code.

Pre-Requisites

Ensure the following pre-requisites are met (due to some blocker bugs in earlier versions). As of today, the latest Docker Toolbox and Homebrew are fine.

• Docker 1.10+
• Docker Machine 0.6.0+
• Kitematic 0.12

(all downloadable as a single Docker Toolbox package as well)

How to use from Kitematic

1. Start Kitematic
2. Enter xemuliam in serach box
3. Choose nifi-base image
4. Click Create button

Kitematic will assign all ports and you'll be able to run NiFi web-interface directly from Kitematic.

How to use from Docker CLI

1. Start Docker Quickstart Terminal
2. Run command docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -p 8443:8443 xemuliam/nifi-base
3. Check Docker machine IP docker-machine ls
4. Use IP from previous step in address bar of your favorite browser, e.g. http://192.168.99.100:8080/nifi

Enjoy! :)
