Installing with Docker

info

You must install Docker and Docker Compose to work with Docker containers.

Launching Mycompany using Docker Compose​

  • Download the compose.yaml file from central server to a folder of your choice (we'll call it $FUSION_DIR$). This file contains settings for running four containers:

    • PostgreSQL
    • Application Server
    • Mycompany
    • Web Client

  • The compose.yaml setting (optional):

    • If you need to change the startup settings (e.g., use a different container version or customize environment variables), edit the compose.yaml file according to the Docker documentation.
    • Application server startup options can also be set using the container's environment variables - in the environment attribute. For example, to change the server locale to Russian, write: 
      environment:
      - USER_SETLANGUAGE=ru
      - USER_SETCOUNTRY=RU

    When searching for startup parameters in environment variables, Spring automatically converts them to uppercase and replaces dots with underscores. In the example above, the values of the environment variables will be substituted into the corresponding parameters: user.setLanguage and user.setCountry.

  • Starting the containers:

    Go to the $FUSION_DIR$ folder and run the command:

     docker-compose up

    Once the launch is complete, the web client will be available at: http://localhost:8080/.

  • Working with project files: After the first launch, subfolders will be created in the $FUSION_DIR$ folder:

    • docker-client-conf - client configuration.
    • docker-db - database files.

    The server data will be stored in a Docker volume managed by Docker Engine, with the default name mycompany_docker-server. Your lsFusion language modules (.lsf files or folders with them) as well as other resources (reports, Java files, images, CSS, JS, etc.) or the settings.properties file will be stored there. Server logs are also located there.

    If necessary, files are copied to the running container. For example, to copy the conf folder with the settings.properties file in it, use the command:

    docker cp <yourPath>/conf mycompany-server-1:/lsfusion

mycompany-server-1 is the default server container name. It may be changed according to your settings.

After stopping the container, the files from the lsfusion folder will be saved in the volume.
