Quickly Test New Features with SignServer Docker container

An ephemeral instance of SignServer can be helpful for testing and evaluating new features. The instance of SignServer can be spun up quickly and easily, you can try out a particular feature, and when you're done, the instance can be destroyed along with any application data on it.

The SignServer Docker container is self-contained and includes everything needed to get up and running.

How to get started

The SignServer Docker container is self-contained and includes everything needed to get up and running.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to start an ephemeral instance of SignServer. Please note that anyone with unauthenticated network access to the instance can manage the system.

In this tutorial, we will show how to: 

  • Install Docker
  • Pull SignServer Community container
  • Start SignServer Community container
  • Import client certificate into your browser - see prerequisites below.
  • Access SignServer Administration Web

Prerequisites

  1. Before you begin, you need a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS that already has Snap installed and ready to go.
  2. To authenticate with SignServer Administration Web, you need to import a client certificate into your web browser. If you do not have a client certificate or a Certificate Authority (CA), you can follow the Quick Start Guide - Issue Client Authentication Certificate using EJBCA to start a CA and issue a client certificate using EJBCA.
