Using Docker with official Progress OpenEdge RDBMS images

Question

I found out that Progress has provided official docker images for their RDBMS.

I managed to pull the following image:

docker pull store/progresssoftware/oedb:12.2.3_adv-ent

I tried following the instructions to set it up, but they ask you to edit files inside the image?.

I'm not totally sure if they want me to only use the zip versions of the images or pull the images directly from the docker hub? Or is the idea to create my own Dockerfile where I use these as base images, and then set and create the required files and changes there? I couldn′t find anyone using these images in the web.

Could somebody provide me with example ′docker run′ command or ′Dockerfile′ to use these things?

Answer 1

beware that these images are for development and testing purposes only - they are not supported for production

The custom container images can then be used to bring up and dispose of database instances on demand for the purposes of incrementally building and testing OpenEdge applications
