The Ephesoft community edition docker project
To start Ephesoft docker container use the follow command
docker run -p 8080:8080 gsdenys/ephesoft
This command would start Ephesoft container and install MariaDB server inside it.
This way, all data will be stored inside container, and once you kill the container you also will kill the data.
Other approach that you can use is externalize the database and shared folder. To do that you can use the -e operator to pass the following parameters to the container:
- DB_DATASOURCE - Use this property to pass the MariaDB/MySQL data source URL. e.g jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ephesoft
- DB_USER - The user that will be used to connect to the data source.
- DB_PASSWD - The user password used to connect to the data source.
Beyond the datasource parameter you also can use set parameter to change the host name and port of Ephesoft. You may want to do this to avoid errors when accessing some URL.
Change the Ephesoft hostname and port using the following parameters:
- HOSTNAME - The name of host.
- PORT - The port number.
If you want to externalize the ephesoft Shared Folder too, you just need to mount any volume nammed /shared inside your container using the -v command. eg. -v /host/anyDir:/shared
Below you can see an example of a fully passed parameter set to the Ephesoft container.
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /shared:/shared -e DB_DATASOURCE=jdbc:mysql://dbhost:3306/ephesoft -e DB_USER=ephesoft -e DB_PASSWD=ephesoft -e HOSTNAME=thehostname -e PORT=8080 gsdenys/ephesoft
After command executed, wait for Tomcat startup successfully and with a browser access follow URL.
Use the following credentials:
USER= ephesoft PASSWORD= demo
PS: If you want to have a container with MariaDB already installed, use the following command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gsdenys/ephesoft:mariadb
