First we need to create a Docker volume so we can make the configuration file, SQLite database and logs persistent.
Via this method it can be as easy as running the following command
Don't forget to change the
WBE_URLto a proper external domain. Current given domain is a example.
Change latest into one of the following to get more control over the version: e.g. 4 or 4.1 or full version 4.2.1
Once the container is running, open the URL (e.g. above: http://localhost:8899) in your browser and click on "Go to the backend."
When using SQLite as a repository database, the docker run command will display the initial credentials for the management console.
When using a different database (e.g. Postgresql, Mysql or SQL Server) you need to pass the credentials as variables like this:
(Re)Start the container after closing the command can done via:
By default port 8090 is exposed. In certain scenario's port 8090 is not available, the port can be change via the docker run command by adding -p {port}:8090. Where in port 8090 is the internal application port. Replace {port} with the desire port.

Checkout there documentation for setup environment variables to connect with the repository database.
