This image runs a H2 database in server mode.

Quick Start

Clone the repo and switch to the folder:

git clone https://github.com/danielrogowski/h2.git h2-docker
cd h2-docker

To create an image from the Dockerfile:

docker build -t h2-server_1.4.200_image .

To create a volume on the host to be used by the container:

docker volume create h2-server_1.4.200

To run a container using the image:

docker run \
   --publish 8082:8082 \
   --publish 9092:9092 \
   --detach \
   --name h2-server_1.4.200 \
   --mount source=h2-server_1.4.200,target=/var/lib/h2/databases \
   h2-server_1.4.200_image

The database can then be accessed using the following JDBC URL:

jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/yourdb

Don't forget to change the sa user's password by connection to the web console:

http://localhost:8082

Then logging in using jdbc connection credentials mentioned above and execute:

ALTER USER sa SET PASSWORD 'your new password';

(assuming your Docker host is also localhost)

Data Volume

All data persisted by your h2 database running inside the container will be written to the docker volume 'h2-server_1.4.200' residing on the host. Therefore you easily back it up if you want to. Please refer to 'https://hub.docker.com/p/loomchild/volume-backup'.

Configuration Options

• JAVA_OPTIONS - options to set when launching the H2 JVM - defaults to an empty string
• H2_OPTIONS - additional options to pass when starting the H2 server
