    I've been looking into Docker with a view to using it with MVIS.
    The manual is very short on examples, only covering using Azure for storage.
    I did see the deployment scripts, but these also lack any documentation.

    Does anyone have examples of MVIS working with docker local storage?

    Hi Jonathan 

    Here is an example for using the local storage 

    docker run -d -p 7171:7171 -p 7870:7870 -p 7871:7871 -e "JAVA_OPTS=-DTYPE=MVCM -DFS_DIR=/data/" -v c:\data:/data cm:latest

    docker run -d -p 7077:7077 -e "JAVA_OPTS=-DTYPE=MVCM -DFS_DIR=/data/" -v c:\data:/data cmadmin:latest

    I have tried the below examples using Docker for desktop but should work for any docker environment. In case of docker for desktop , you need to add the host folder into the
    docker for desktop => Resources section.

    The important parameter -DFS_DIR wherein I have specified volume /data to be used for retrieving/modifying the cm.ini

    I have mounted /data/ to c:\data folder. Please make sure that you drop cm.ini into this folder before starting the container.

    Hope this helps 

    Thanks

    Thanks Amey,

    That was very useful. I did find I needed to add a u2rest sub-directory to \data to get MVIS working smoothly, but now all works well.
