We use Docker Desktop for Mac.
Docker CLI management commands start with docker, then a space, then the management category, then a space, and then
the command. A flag with two dashes in front is the full name of the flag. A flag with one dash is a shortcut for the
full flag name.
To list all running containers:
docker container ls
To check an environment variable inside your container:
docker container exec [name] printenv [variable]
For example:
docker container exec flowable printenv FLOWABLE_IDM_LDAP_ENABLED
To check the environment variables inside your container:
docker container inspect -f \
'{{range $index, $value := .Config.Env}}{{println $value}}{{end}}' \
[name] | grep [value]
For example:
docker container inspect -f \
'{{range $index, $value := .Config.Env}}{{println $value}}{{end}}' \
serendipity-api | grep SPRING
To print logs:
docker container logs [name]
For example:
docker container logs postgres
docker container logs pgadmin
docker container logs serendipity-identity-server
docker container logs serendipity-web-bff
To start a shell session inside your container that you can interact with through your terminal:
docker container exec -it [name] /bin/bash
-i is short for --interactive. Keep STDIN open even if unattached.
-t is short for --tty. Allocates a pseudo terminal that connects your terminal with the container’s STDIN and STDOUT.
For example:
docker container exec -it flowable sh
You can stop a container using the following command:
docker container stop [name]
For example:
docker container stop postgres
docker container stop pgadmin
docker container stop serendipity-identity-server
docker container stop serendipity-web-bff
You can remove a container using the following command:
docker container rm [name]
For example:
docker container rm postgres
docker container rm pgadmin
docker container rm serendipity-identity-server
docker container rm serendipity-web-bff
Where is your image? It’s in your machine’s local Docker image registry:
docker image ls
