Quick Apache NiFi Setup with Docker

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0100

Steps

Pull image and run with ports exposed:

docker run --name "nifi" -p 8443:8443 -d apache/nifi:latest

Fetch the generated username and password from the logs:

docker logs nifi | grep -A1 "Generated Username"

Generated Username [8f6d91f7-733e-40cf-b900-059ea9dccbf2]
Generated Password [v7KGiiRYLJL2+HzhKOqz1rbgiPOaWz0B]

Now we may enter the https://localhost:8443/nifi/login in our browser, accept the security exemption and login with the credentials from above, voila!

I have found a nice summary on the following GitHub repository:

Template Driven Test POJO Generation with Fixture Factory and Java

In our tests we often need to create a bunch of test-objects that are populated with random-data. This data needs to follow specific rules as identifiers need to be unique or must be incremented, string-properties must follow special conventions and so on. In the following short tutorial I will demonstrate how to generate such test data using the Fixture Factory library.
