Guides:

• Update your metasfresh-docker installation

• Use the Java Swing Client with metasfresh-docker

• Run multiple metasfresh-docker stacks / Change webui ports

Frequent Questions:

• Q: Where are the database files located at?

  • A: You can find the database files and logs in your metasfresh-docker directory in ./volumes/db

• Q: I heard docker-containers are ephermal - is it safe to use in production?

  • A: Docker containers are ephermal, yes. However: as shown above, your database- and log-files are stored on the docker-host in ./volumes/. So if you decide to stop and remove your containers, your database is still existent and will be used if you're building a new container at the exact place your old metasfresh-docker directory was. If the database container finds usable data in ./volumes/db/data relative to the docker-compose.yml file, this data will be used by the db-container.

• Q: I want to run multiple metasfresh-docker instances on the same docker-host - what do I need to change?

  • A: Create a directory for each metasfresh-docker stack you want to run. Then clone this repository directly in the new directories and change the exposing ports so each stack uses different exposed ports.

• Q: I have additional questions not listed here. Is there some form to get in contact with you?

  • A: Of course there is. The best place to get your questions answered is using our forum, which you can find here: https://forum.metasfresh.org/
