Running Docker applications directly from a workspace

Run Docker applications directly from the workspace immediately when you create a server.

About this task

Run Docker applications directly from a workspace without special packaging.

Note: If you use nonnative Docker on a Windows system, the Eclipse workspace must be in the C:\Users folder.

Procedure

  1. From the Liberty Docker wizard page, open the New Server pop-up window.
  2. Docker containers that are configured with certain mounted volumes include a check box for Run applications directly from the workspace. Select the check box.
    1. To verify that a container supports the option to run applications directly from the workspace, select the container name.
    2. Complete Liberty server security credentials and connection parameters.
    3. Click Verify.
    4. A dialogue box appears that informs you whether the container can or cannot run applications directly from the workspace. If the container cannot, the dialogue box provides an option to stop the current container and create a new container with mounted volumes. Select Yes to create the new container or No to use the current container.
  3. If the container that you are running does not support running applications directly from the workspace, you can proceed with running the applications. However, you cannot run them directly from the workspace. If you choose to run applications directly from a workspace, the current container is stopped, and a new container is created.
