@bdw429s When using CommandBox in a docker container. Is there anyway to pass in which server.json file to use? I have several in my root directory server.json, server-lucee5.json, server-cf2016.json, server-cf2018.json, you get the picture. I'd like to be able to define which one of these to use so I could launch three different containers each running a different engine. I've figured out how to do this with CFConfig by defining the BOX_SERVER_CFCONFIGFILE environment variable in my docker-compose.yml file. Was hoping there was a simple way to set the server name or the server.json file via the environment variables as well.

@Peter Amiri This is a general Docker question or specific to the

ortussolutions/commandbox

docker iamge

well, let me rephrase it. Is there a way to set the server.json file to use via an environment variable?

My original question still stands

i think brad meant to say “is this” instead of “this is”

Thanks Scott, I'm reading the docker readme to see if I can figure it out and perhaps contribute to that repo if that environment facility isn't there. But yes, this was a specific

ortussolutions/commandbox

questions.

Yes, I meant to say "is this"

so this is in regards to the

ortussolutions/commandbox

docker image

@Peter Amiri So in CommandBox in general, this is very easy to do

server start serverConfigFile=myfile.json

# this will look for `server-foo.json` by default
server start name="foo"

however the Ortus docker image completely controls the start command and does not currenlty provide you with any mechanism to supply either a

serverConfigFile

or a

name

argument which sort of limits your options. CommandBox itself has no env vars to control this either. Perhaps this is an addition we could make to the Ortus image @jclausen?

Actually the server config file is not one of the variables we pass in to the start command: https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/docker-commandbox/blob/master/build/util/start-server.sh#L20 You should be able supply that variable via the environment

No, chicken/egg.

Ah. OK. I thought that might get picked up within the server command

So outside of the docker images modifying the server-start.sh script, the command defaults would be the only way I know of to sneak in an override

Then the best bet is going to be to rename the

server-xxx.json

file by overriding the

CMD

of the image.

That would also work 🙂

LOL, I thought of the rename or copying of the server-xxx.json to server.json. I guess I'm not that cleaver. Now to figure out where this should be done. My docker-compose.yml calls out a Adobe2016.Dockerfile. I'd imagine I need to get that copy to work in the dockerfile.

The MySQL drivers are in all of the Ortus images.

@jclausen only the 5.6 driver is installed in the adobe@2016.0.15+318650 engine. So I'm trying to get the mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.jar to load up into that server.
