Joseph Doherty 969b0847a1 docs: update path references for module-folder reorganization
Rewrite src/ and tests/ project paths in docs, CLAUDE.md, README.md, and
test-fixture READMEs to the new module-folder layout (Core/Server/Drivers/
Client/Tooling). References to retired v1 projects (Galaxy.Host/Proxy/Shared,
the legacy monolithic test projects) are left untouched.

opc-plc Docker fixture

Microsoft Industrial IoT's opc-plc — pinned Docker image that stands up an OPC UA server at opc.tcp://localhost:50000 with step-up counters, random nodes, alarm simulation, and other canonical simulated shapes. Replaces the PowerShell launcher pattern used by the Modbus / S7 fixtures — Docker is the launcher here since opc-plc ships pre-containerized.

File Purpose
docker-compose.yml Service definition for otopcua-opc-plc — image pin, port map, command flags.
(this file) How to run it.

Install

Docker Desktop (Windows) or the docker CLI + daemon (Linux/macOS). Per CLAUDE.md Phase 1 decision #134 the dev box already has Docker Desktop configured with the WSL 2 backend — nothing new to install.

Run

From the repo root:

docker compose -f tests\Drivers\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.OpcUaClient.IntegrationTests\Docker\docker-compose.yml up

Or from this folder:

docker compose up

First run pulls the image (~250 MB). Startup takes ~5-10 seconds; the healthcheck in the compose file surfaces ready state in docker ps.

To run detached (CI pattern):

docker compose up -d

Stop with docker compose down (removes the container) or docker compose stop (keeps it for fast restart).

Endpoint

  • Default: opc.tcp://localhost:50000
  • Override by setting OPCUA_SIM_ENDPOINT before dotnet test — e.g. point at a real OPC UA server in the lab, or at a different Docker host.

What opc-plc advertises

Command flags in docker-compose.yml enable:

  • --pn=50000 — OPC UA endpoint on port 50000
  • --ut — unsecured transport endpoint advertised (SecurityPolicy=None). Secured policies are still on the endpoint list; --ut just adds an unsecured option.
  • --aa — auto-accept client certs (opc-plc's cert trust store lives inside the container + resets each spin-up, so without this the driver's first contact would be rejected).
  • --alm — alarm simulation enabled; opc-plc publishes TripAlarmType, ExclusiveDeviationAlarmType, NonExclusiveLevelAlarmType, and DialogConditionType events.

Not turned on (but available via compose-file tweaks):

  • --daa — disable anonymous auth; forces username or cert tokens. Flip on when username-auth / cert-auth smoke tests land.
  • --fn / --fr / --ft — fast-node variants (100 / 1 000 / 10 000 Hz update rates) for subscription-stress coverage. Not needed for smoke.
  • --sn / --sr — slow-node / special-shape coverage.

Run the integration tests

In a separate shell, with the simulator running:

cd C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\lmxopcua
dotnet test tests\Drivers\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.OpcUaClient.IntegrationTests

Tests auto-skip with a clear SkipReason when localhost:50000 isn't reachable within 2 seconds (OpcPlcFixture).

Known limitations

opc-plc uses the OPCFoundation.NetStandard stack internally — same as our driver. That means bugs common to the stack itself are not caught by this fixture; the follow-up to add open62541/open62541 as a second independent-stack image (task tracked in #215's follow-ups) would close that.

See docs/drivers/OpcUaClient-Test-Fixture.md for the full coverage map + what's still trusted from field deployments.
