HttPlaceholder is an open-source tool that allows you to simulate HTTP responses in order to test API clients. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing HttPlaceholder on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you start installing HttPlaceholder, you need to make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To install Docker on Alpine Linux, execute the following command:
apk add docker
Once Docker is installed, you need to start the Docker service. To do that, execute the following command:
service docker start
You can download the HttPlaceholder image from Docker Hub by executing the following command:
docker pull dukeofharen/httplaceholder
After the image has been downloaded, you need to create a Docker container from the HttPlaceholder image. To do that, execute the following command:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 dukeofharen/httplaceholder
This will create a running container with HttPlaceholder on port 5000.
You can verify HttPlaceholder is running by executing the following command:
docker ps
This should show you the running container with the HttPlaceholder image.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed HttPlaceholder on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start using the tool and simulate HTTP responses for testing API clients.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
