This pull request updates Apache Airavata's installation, configuration, and deployment instructions to support modern Java versions, improve Docker-based deployment, and enhance security practices. The changes introduce environment variable support for sensitive credentials, resource limits for Docker services, and comprehensive documentation updates for secure production deployments.

Deployment and Security Improvements:

  • Added an env.example file with environment variable templates for all sensitive credentials and resource limits, along with a production security checklist.
  • Updated Docker Compose configuration (docker-compose.yml) to use environment variables for all sensitive credentials (MySQL, RabbitMQ), and to set resource limits and reservations for all major services. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
  • Updated documentation (README.md, INSTALL) to emphasize the importance of changing default passwords, using environment variables, and following security best practices for production deployments. [1] [2] [3]

Platform and Build Updates:

  • Updated prerequisites in INSTALL to require Java 17+ (Java 21 recommended) and Maven 3.8+, and added Docker/Docker Compose as recommended for deployment.
  • Enhanced Maven pom.xml configuration to add necessary --add-opens JVM arguments for compatibility with newer Java versions.

…ials with environment variables, add Docker resource limits, update test infrastructure for Java 17-21 compatibility, and add comprehensive documentation
