Re: discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?
Hi All,
I also tried docker as a development platform by bind-mounting my custom
plugins folder with docker container's plugins folder. It was a good
experience for me, however, I did it just for a PoC. Here is the same
command I used for mounting:
docker run -it --name=docker-ofbiz -d -v ~/plugins/:/ofbiz-17.12/plugins
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 ofbiz/full-trunk

Re: discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?
Posted by Deepak Nigam <de...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jonhson,
For this, you can apply a hook into a running Docker container using the
command "docker exec -it <container> bash". Basically, you need to
configure your EntityEngine.xml file for using the stock DB. For more
information on how to configure EntityEngine.xml, please visit here
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Entity+Engine+Configuration+Guide>
.
As for as the sample data is concerned, you can exclude the demo data
reader from the gradle target used to load data. (i.e. don't use ./gradlew
loadAll, use specific one ./gradlew "ofbiz --load-data
readers=seed,seed-initial,ext-seed,ext"). You need to run this command from
the root of your project in the container.
HTH!

Re: discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?
Posted by co...@gmail.com,
co...@gmail.com.
Hello and thank you. I recently downloaded the image, ofbiz/fulltrunk, to see if ofbiz would meet my needs and it appears that it will far exceed them! Is there a way to run a docker without the sample data? I fully believe the stock db will be plenty for my needs especially if I can start with an empty version or scrub the current data.
I want to run ofbiz in a docker container rather than a standalone.
