Invoking one-touch Domino setup with system environment variables on Docker

Complete this procedure to invoke one-touch Domino setup with system environment variables if you run Domino on Docker.

Before you begin

Complete the following procedures:

Procedure

  1. Create a volume to store the Domino data directory. For example, to create a volume called notesdata, run the following Docker command: 
    docker volume create notesdata
  2. Run the following Docker command to create your container and invoke one-touch Domino Setup to set up and run the server: 
    docker run -it -v <Docker volume name>:<data directory> --name <container name> --env-file <env file name> -p <HostPort:ContainerPort> domino-docker:<image> --autoconf
    For example:
    docker run -it -v notesdata:/local/notesdata --name adminserver --env-file env.txt -p 8585:8585 -p 1352:1352 -p 443:443 domino-docker:V1200 --autoconf

Results

Your new Domino server should be up and running in a new Docker container.

If one-step setup fails for some reason, review the autoconfigure.log file created in the container. Since in this case the container won't be running, you can access the log file in one of the following ways:
  • Create a temporary container:
    1. Run a Docker command to create a container that launches into a bash shell that uses the same volume you specified in the procedure. For example: 
      docker run -it -v notesdata:/local/notesdata --name debug --entrypoint /bin/bash -p 8585:8585 -p 1352:1352 -p 443:443 domino-docker:V1200
    2. Examine IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/autoconfigure.log for details on the failure.
  • Issue the following Docker command to copy autoconfigure.log out of the Docker volume into another path on the host:
    docker cp <container>:/file/path/within/container /host/path/target
    For example: 
    docker cp adminserver:/local/notesdata/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/autoconfigure.log C:\tmp
