Fineract 1.6 - How do I run the Jar? War?
Hello everyone,
I am having some issues attempting to run the jar. When I run the following
```java -Dloader.path=. -jar
fineract-provider/build/libs/fineract-provider.jar```
I get the following error in the attached file.
How can I fix this?
Regards
Airsay

Hi James,
No this wasn't resolved. And no, no ticket was created or documentation
provided

Airsay- is this resolved?
did a ticket get created for WAR file env and provide documentation?
Did you get things working?

... from the top of my head I remember that you could add a script
"setenv.sh" (see tomcat documentation to verify) to add additional
environment variables... what I would do in your place if you need to stick
with the the WAR/Tomcat approach: create that "setenv.sh" file and put it
in the proper place (I think it was Tomcat's bin folder) and just add all
those environment variables you see in the docker-compose.yml file in the
section "environment" (and adapt values if necessary). The variable
definitions in setenv.sh would looks something like this:
export VAR_NAME="some value"
... in words: you need to add the "export" keyword, no colons, put values
in between double-quotes.
"setenv.sh" should be automatically loaded before your tomcat instance is
started and makes those env vars available to Fineract (WAR).
Feel free to create a Jira ticket if you want these instructions included
in the next release (I think we don't have it in this detail) and/or if we
should add such a "setenv.sh" in our release for everyone's convenience
(those of the community who use WAR deployments). You can assign me the
ticket...
Please let me know if that works...

Hello Aleks,
Thank you for the response. So I'm conversant with running Fineract using
the WAR running on Tomcat with MySQL and the community app as the Frontend.
I was unable to generate the WAR file (or I now believe I was may have been
looking at the wrong build folder for it) which was why I tried running the
jar file for a quick experience with v1.6 to see what changes exist. What
would be the best step-by-step means of testing fineract running the jar? I
have an Ubuntu Linux box running JDK 17.0.2 and MariaDB 10.6. While Docker
may be an easy solution for a testing for a lot of folks, I'm not
conversant with Docker with more of my virtualization experience coming
from Proxmox.
TIA

Hi,
... I am not sure if we have a recommendation for running Fineract (and I
know there are a lot of people using the WAR deployments), but among the
choices you have (Docker, single JAR, WAR) Docker should be the easiest.
Just go with the Docker Compose file in the root folder... saves you all
the hassle of setting up environment variables and a separate database.
Concerning the community app: we recently put it in a separate Docker
compose file (docker-compose-community-app.yml)... just start with
"docker-compose -f docker-compose-community-app.yml up".
Note: I see that you are running all this on the develop branch... please
keep in mind that things are in flux in that branch... and most importantly
(if you used Fineract before): we have new database migration mechanics in
place and replaced Flyway with Liquibase (if you start from scratch it
doesn't matter).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Aleks

Thank you for your response Nasser. So part of the instruction for running
the jar says:
The tenants database connection details are configured via environment
variables (as with Docker container), e.g. like this:
export FINERACT_HIKARI_PASSWORD=verysecret
...
java -jar fineract-provider.jar
But there's no clear instructions for setting the environment variables or
where to even set them. Also when running the jar where does one deploy the
Mifos community-app Frontend?
TIA

Hi AirsayLongCon,
The error suggests a problem with connection to your database. Fineract by
default tries to connect to the database with the credentials: user: “root”
password: “mysql”.
Unless you’ve changed this setting in the project configuration, you want
to make sure your database root user has thesame password.
