Hi @rrowlands. Are you still using ODK 2’s Sync Endpoints? Just curious from your other thread here: Question about sync-endpoint-default-setup local environment - #3 by Jeff_Beorse
In any case I’ll respond to this for anyone else who happens upon this thread.
The ODK 2 Sync Endpoints use Docker Swarm to run microservices. There are two different Tomcat servers running the ODK REST API service and the ODK Sync UI service to keep responsibilities separated, to keep each service focused, and to be modular. For example, you can swap in your own Sync UI and not use ours if you like. You could also add your own microservices to the workflow, such as a service to translate data from the ODK database into your own organization’s database and schema.
This default setup also spins up a default database and LDAP. But you should be assessing these with your system administrator if you plan to deploy at scale. These are meant to be a proof of concept and a basic default to get you up and running and able to use the tools.
I do not think you need to update that value. I think it is an internal value that is used inside the docker container. @linl33 can verify or correct me on this.
