PWA is deployed using a series of docker containers; some are PWA-specific and provided by the perfSONAR project, and there are a couple of third-party containers involved, as well.
| Container | Description |
|---|---|
| pwa-admin | PWA UI and API |
| pwa-pub | Publisher, used for publishing Configs defined in PWA |
| sca-auth | Authentication module used by the GUI |
| ngninx | Web server, used as a proxy to access the PWA and SCA components |
| mongodb | MongoDB, used by pwa-admin and pwa-pub |
| postfix | Optional, if you want to run a mail server in another docker container, install this |
This example architecture assumes you name your instances like pwa-admin1, pwa-pub1, pwa-pub2, etc. You can name them differently if you like. You can increase the number of publishers to improve publisher performance, if needed.
