Learning to deploy Documentum on Kubernetes- UNSUPPORTED
A tutorial using Docker Desktop Kubernetes
😉Special thanks to Jose for contributing this tutorial. It is unofficial and unsupported. But very good info to consider.
- Both files are needed, together, the PDF and the 7z.
- Slide 38 is WIP that might come in future versions. (Kubernetes Dashboard, metrics server, Kafka, RabbitMQ...).
Maybe provide input here. Hopefully this is something that can mature to a whitepaper…

I am following the document and found issue at the docbroker.
[DFC_DOCBROKER_REQUEST_FAILED] Request to Docbroker "dbr-0:1489" failed
[DFC_DOCBROKER_REQUEST_FAILED] Request to Docbroker "dbr-0:1489" failed
[DM_SESSION_E_RPC_ERROR]error: "Server communication failure"
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
May I know what could be the resolution?
Tried launching the dm_launch_Docbroker.sh but it says that docbroker is already launched.
I am using Mac with M1 chip, Docker Desktop with Kubernetes support

I have the same problem, using minikube under Linux. Apparently the docbroker pod is not detecting correctly the host name, I have done a workaround to specify -host <hostname> of the pod in the dm_launch_Docbroker.sh where dmdocbroker is started. Then you can start is manually, but this is sub-optimal as when the container gets re-created, it's lost again. So my idea is to make a custom image that has this included, but I'm not there yet. It's also complicated to get the port 1491/1492 exported and available from outside kubernetes cluster. Both issues may be linked.

OpenText Documentum Docker images are for Intel x86_64 architecture. They will definitely not work on Mac with M1/M2 chips (which are based on ARM64). For components other than Documentum Server you could theoretically build your own images based on ARM64 architecture. But Documentum Server binaries require Intel x86_64 so this will never work unless OpenText makes a port to ARM64 (which incidentally would be nice as I'm also using a Macbook Pro).
