The PDC [2.1] needs to be accessible through a set domain. Installation is typically done using Docker (recommended).

The Prometheus X-Dataspace Connector (PDC) [2.1] must be accessible through a dedicated domain name. The recommended manner to install the PDC is through Docker. Docker is an open-source platform that provides a containerized environment, which streamlines deployment, handles dependencies and guarantees consistent performance across infrastructures. With this container, participants can install the PDC quickly and securely.

Post Installation Considerations

After the deployment of the PDC using Docker, you will need to:

• First, check if the connector is reachable at the configured domain and that the ports are accessible.
• Secondly, confirm that there is sufficient storage available in the MongoDB database, so it is able to make the necessary data operations.
• Lastly, make sure you have configured the environment variables (either through an .env file or in the Docker configuration directly), so you are able to include critical settings such as the initial keys, the domain and the core services URLs).

Using Docker as the deployment method ensures that the PDC runs in an isolated and consistent environment, greatly simplifying installation, upgrades, and environment portability across on-premises and cloud environments.
