SoftExpert Capture service (HTTP)

This topic will show how to configure the SoftExpert Capture service with HTTP protocol on port 8587. To do that, take the following steps:

1. Create the secaptureservice directory:

mkdir /usr/local/se/secaptureservice

2. Access the secaptureservice directory:

cd /usr/local/se/secaptureservice

3. Create the docker-compose.yml file inside the secaptureservice directory:

vim docker-compose.yml

4. Paste the following text:

version: '3.7'

services:
 secaptureservice:
  container_name: secaptureservice
  image: softexpert/secaptureservice:latest
  networks:
   - senetwork
  ports:
   - "${HTTP_PORT}:80"
  extra_hosts:
   - <SEAccessURL\>:ServerIP
 deploy:
   resources:
     limits:
       memory: 4G

5. Locate the extra_hosts parameter.

6. Insert the SoftExpert access URL and the local IP of the application server, as shown in the image below:

7. Save the changes with:

wq!:

8. Create the capture.env file inside the secaptureservice directory:

vim capture.env

9. Insert the text below, indicating the port that will be used for HTTPS connection, and enter the certificate password in the CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD= parameter:

HTTP_PORT=8587

caution

By default, the port used for HTTP connection is 8587, but it is possible to set a different port, if the default one is already being used. In this case, run the netstat -lnp | grep "8586"8587 command to check whether the port is being used.

10. Start the SoftExpert Capture service using the command below:

cd /usr/local/se/sepdfconverter/ ; docker-compose --env-file capture.env --compatibility up -d

To stop the service, execute the command below:

cd /usr/local/se/secaptureservice/ ; docker-compose --env-file capture.env down

To check whether the secaptureservice service is up, run the command below:

docker ps

11. Once this is done, access the SoftExpert Document component > Configuration > General parameters (DC035) and point the service in the application by entering https://serverIP:8587 in the Enable SoftExpert Capture service redirection -> Server field.

12. Then, run the connection test and save.
