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

The Dataspace Connector (PDC) [2.1] must be accessible through a dedicated domain. The recommended way to install the PDC is through Docker. Docker is an open-source platform that provides a containerized setting, setting that streamlines deployment handles dependencies and guarantees uniform performance in various 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 in the configured domain and that the ports are accessible.
• Secondly, confirm that there is the required 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 (there are two ways, 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 deployments.
