Manage Docker container settings

You can manage the following docker container settings:

Change port number

To use a different port other than 5590, you can specify a port variable on the docker run command line.

For example, to start the adapter using port 6000 instead of 5590, use the following command:

docker run -d -e port=6000 --network host <adapter>

This command accesses the REST API with port 6000 instead of port 5590.

For example, if you use the EdgeCmd utility:

edgecmd -port 6000 get application

Remove REST access

If you remove the --network host option from the docker run command, REST access is not possible from outside the container. This may be of value where you want to host an application in the same container as the adapter but do not want to have external REST access enabled.

Upgrade

To upgrade a Docker container with persistent storage to the latest version of RDBMS, you should follow the process above for creating a new container image. Then, when you run the container, use the same persistent storage that you previously used. This allows you to carry over all of the configuration data to the upgraded container.
