Here are main steps for this type of docker image. If you are trying to upgrade FlexDeploy for Docker, please following FlexDeploy Upgrade - Docker.

1. Setup docker volume folder and copy plugins in it from download zip.
2. Setup FlexDeploy Database
3. Pull docker image
4. Start container using specific image.

Step 1 - Setup Docker Volume Folder on Docker Host

This particular image only contains FlexDeploy with Tomcat, i.e. data and artifact repository is not part of the container. Hence we need to setup Database and various Folders first. You will also need to download FlexDeploy Tomcat distribution for database scripts and plugins.

In this step, we will setup application and repository folder, then copy plugins from download zip in to necessary folder.

# adjust folder location as necessary for your Docker Host
mkdir -p /scratch/DockerVolume/flexdeploy
chmod -R 777 /scratch/DockerVolume
cd /scratch/DockerVolume
mkdir application
mkdir repository
cd application
mkdir plugins
cp ~/Tomcat_Complete-5.13.0.0/application/plugins/*.jar .
# ready with docker volume now

Step 2 - Setup FlexDeploy Database

Setup database as described in Installation Instructions - Database Tier.

Step 3 - Pull Docker Image

First let's pull docker image flexdeploy/fd_tcat_5253. Adjust image version as necessary.

docker pull flexdeploy/fd_tcat_5253:5.23.0.0

Step 4 - Run Docker Container

Now let's run FlexDeploy docker image. Adjust image version as necessary.

...

docker run --name flexdeploy52flexdeploy53 -p 8004:8080 -e FLEX_DB_URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@129.213.91.244:1521:xe" -e FD_ADMIN_PWD="welcome1" -e TZ=America/Chicago -e dbtype=oracle|postgres|mysql -v /scratch/DockerVolume/flexdeploy:/home/oracle flexdeploy/fd_tcat_5253:5.23.0.0

...

Once you complete registration, you are ready to use FlexDeploy.

1. Pull docker image
2. Start container using specific image.

Step 1 - Pull Docker Image

First let's pull docker image flexdeploy/fd_tcat_xe_52. Adjust image name (if you are using Postgres or a tutorial image) and version as necessary.

docker pull flexdeploy/fd_tcat_xe_52:5.23.0.0
or
docker pull flexdeploy/fd_tcat_postgres_52:5.23.0.0
or
docker pull <tutorial image>

Step 2 - Run Docker Container

Now let's run FlexDeploy docker image. Adjust image name (if you are using tutorial image) and version as necessary.

This particular image contains PostgreSQL DB and FlexDeploy with Tomcat, i.e. data and artifact repository is all part of the container. Data is persistent in the container.

...

docker run --name flexdeploy52flexdeploy53_postgres -p 5432:5432 -p 8000:8080 -e TZ=$(date +%Z) flexdeploy/fd_tcat_postgres_5253:5.23.0.0
