[SOLVED] How to deploy local development server (kie-server) (jboss)

Issue

I am using JBoss (Red Hat) product jBPM and have taken the docker images of kie-server and drools-wb (i.e. drools workbench).

I have brought up my docker images successfully and am able to navigate to business central ([https://localhost:8080/business-central]).

I want to run decision services on my local development server.

But when I hit 'deploy' for my decision service I get a popup message

Deployment was skipped, couldn't find any server running in 'development' mode.

So then I navigated to the server configuration page. I added a server configuation, but I am missing a remote server to use. (e.g. second image below)

As an example, the below image shows a tutorial I was watching where a remote server is in use.

I can insert my docker compose below.

services:  
  kie-server:
    image: jboss/kie-server-showcase:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: kie-server
    ports:
      - 8180:8080
    links:
      - drools-wb:kie-wb

  drools-wb:
    image: jboss/business-central-workbench-showcase:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: drools-wb
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

Solution

Kie-server must calls the workbench rest API for automatic registration, at the time, the kie-server will tell workbench what is the deployment api address, and then workbench can calls the deployment api to 'deploy' rule jar.

About how to configure, you can refre to Kie-server dockerfile

In this file, you can see more configure item. There have three items is about your problem: KIE_SERVER_CONTROLLER, KIE_SERVER_LOCATION and KIE_MAVEN_REPO

KIE_SERVER_CONTROLLER identifies the API call prefix of the workbench, kie-server will use this address for registration to workbench at the start time.

KIE_SERVER_LOCATION identifies the API call prefix of the kie-server, workbench will use this address for deployment rule jar.

KIE_MAVEN_REPO is kie-server use to download the rule jar of deployment.

KIE_SERVER_CONTROLLER: http://workbench_external_ip_address:port /kie-wb/rest/controller KIE_SERVER_LOCATION: http://kie_external_ip_address:port /kie-server/services/rest/server KIE_MAVEN_REPO: http://workbench_external_ip_address:port /kie-wb/maven2
