Install design server and flow dashboard without internet connection

Due to security rules our servers are not connected to the internet.

For installing design server it is required to have an internet connection. 

 

When you try to install the following happens:

Design server

Building tx-server Docker image...This will take a minute...
Sending build context to Docker daemon 308.5 MB^M^M
Step 1/17 : FROM tomcat:9.0.14-jre11
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/tomcat ...

Trying to pull repository registry.fedoraproject.org/tomcat ...
Trying to pull repository quay.io/tomcat ...
Trying to pull repository registry.centos.org/tomcat ...
Trying to pull repository docker.io/library/tomcat ...
Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
Failed to create the tx-server Docker container. Consult the install.log log file for the reason.

 

flow dashboard

Consult flow_dashboard_install.log for the reason.

How will this idea be used?

We want to use the products and now we can't due to security rules

    Same problems, because ITX need to be installed in the "Secure production zone" and external Internet access is not allowed the installationscript should allow for

    1) Using an internal Docker repository

    or

    2) Doing "air-gap" install and pull the images of a local file-server
