Explanation:

• --network The above example makes use of a Docker network - created, for example, using the docker network create js7 command - to allow network sharing between containers. Note that any inside ports used by Docker containers are visible within a Docker network. Therefore a JOC Cockpit instance running for the inside port 4446 can be accessed with the container's hostname and the same port within the Docker network.
• --publish The JOC Cockpit has been configured to listen to the HTTP port 4446. An outside port of the Docker host can be mapped to the JOC Cockpit inside HTTP port. This is not required for use with a Docker network, see --network. However, it will allow direct access to the JOC Cockpit from the Docker host via its outside port .
• --env=RUN_JS_JAVA_OPTIONS This allows any Java options to be injected into the JOC Cockpit container. Preferably this is used to specify memory requirements of the JOC Cockpit, for example,  with -Xmx256m.
• --env=RUN_JS_USER_ID Inside the container the JOC Cockpit is operated by the jobscheduler user account. In order to access, for example, log files created by the JOC Cockpit, which are mounted to the Docker host, it is recommended that you map the account that starts the container to the jobscheduler account inside the container. The RUN_JS_USER_ID environment variable accepts the user ID and group ID of the account that will be mapped. The example above makes use of the current user.
• --mount The following volume mounts are suggested:
  • config: The optional configuration folder allows specification of individual settings for JOC Cockpit operation - see the sections below and the JS7 - JOC Cockpit Configuration Items article. Without this folder the default settings are used.
  • logs: In order to make JOC Cockpit log files persistent they have to be written to a volume that is mounted for the container. Feel free to adjust the volume name from the src attribute. However, the value of the dst attribute should not be changed as it reflects the directory hierarchy inside the container.

  • Docker offers a number of ways of mounting or binding volumes to containers including, for example, creation of local directories and binding them to volumes like this:

    Code Block
    language bash title Example how to create Docker volumes linenumbers true
    # example to map volumes to directories on the Docker host prior to running the JOC Cockpit container mkdir -p /home/sos/js7/js7-joc-primary/config /home/sos/js7/js7-joc-primary/logs docker volume create --driver local --opt o=bind --opt type=none --opt device="/home/sos/js7/js7-joc-primary/config" js7-joc-primary-config docker volume create --driver local --opt o=bind --opt type=none --opt device="/home/sos/js7/js7-joc-primary/logs" js7-joc-primary-logs

    There are alternative ways of achieving this. As a result you should have a access to the directories /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/resources/joc and /var/log/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc inside the container and data in both locations should be persistent. If volumes are not created before running the container then they will be mounted automatically. However, you should have access to data in the volumes, e.g. by access to /var/lib/docker/volumes/js7-joc-primary-config etc.

• JDBC Drivers for use with H2®, MariaDB®, MySQL®, Oracle®, PostgreSQL® are included with JS7.
  • For details about JDBC Driver versions see the JS7 - Database article.
    
  • Should you have a good reason to use a different version of a JDBC Driver then you can apply the JDBC Driver version of your choice.
• For use with H2®
  • The version of H2® successfully tested by SOS is h2-1.4.200.jar. At the time of writing later versions do not provide sufficient compatibility with MySQL to be applicable for JS7.
• For use with Microsoft SQL Server®
  • the JDBC Driver has to be downloaded by the user as it cannot be bundled with open source software due to license conflicts.
• You can download JDBC Drivers from vendor's sites and store the resulting *.jar file(s) in the following location:
  • Location in the container: /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/resources/joc/lib
  • Consider accessing this directory from the volume that is mounted when running the container, for example, from a local folder /home/sos/js7/js7-joc-primary/config/lib.
  • Refer to the JS7 - Database article for details about the procedure.
