Issue/Introduction

I'm trying to start the docker image called dradis-licensed-mysql, but I got an issue (see below). I already started the MySQL Image.

 

[email protected]:~/CA/DevTest/docker/examples/dradis-licensed-mysql$ docker run --name dradis-mysql --link mysql:mysql -P dradis-licensed-mysql:10.1.0.283

Locale: en_US

Setting System.out and System.err to: ANSI_X3.4-1968

DRADIS_HOME set to: /opt/devtest/

Temporary directory is: /root/lisatmp_10.1.0

Logging to: /root/lisatmp_10.1.0/enterprisedashboard.log

Configuring logging from: /opt/devtest/logging.properties

Cause

Missing add the MySQL JDBC connector to the lib/dradis directory.

Environment

DevTest supported releases with Dockers on Linux.

Although this example shows 10.1, it should all apply to later releases.

Resolution

Needed to add the MySQL JDBC connector to the lib/dradis directory.

 

Rebuilt the container, adding the MySQL JDBC connector to /opt/devtest/lib/dradis and the dradis.properties file to /opt/devtest.

 

 

Additional Information

Our docker/examples/dradis-licensed-mysql needs to also have the dradis.properties

 

Suggest some improvement to documentation in Docker installation indicating that it must follow the same patterns configurations that traditional installation. For example: 

 

1. In docker installation reminds that all files (local.properties, dradis.properties and site.propertties ) of configuration should follow the same rules of traditional installation. In dradis-lincese-mysql image there is just local.properties and I never defined the dradis.properties. For this reason, it didn’t work. 

 

2. In docker installation reminds that all jar files (i.e mysql-connector-java-5.1.33.jar) should follow the same rules of traditional installation. In dradis example I was adding the mysql-connector-java-5.1.33.jar file in lib/shared folder when I must be in lib/dradis folder as well. For this reason, it didn’t work. 

 

 

3. Update the README file in example images because it is sometimes confusing.
