How do we start the Spectrum processes?

Environment

Release: Any supported version

Resolution

There are a couple of ways to do this.

1. Login to the container to execute commands as if it was local:

docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/bash

To get a list of running containers use:

docker ps

Example:

docker ps

CONTAINER ID      IMAGE                               COMMAND           CREATED          STATUS              PORTS                           NAMES
ae368381adc7        spectrum-srm-image-103   "/dispatcher.sh"    4 days ago          Up 36 minutes    0.0.0.0:9090->8080/tcp   brave_hopper
3bc3688ea1e8        spectrum-ss-image-103    "/dispatcher.sh"     4 days ago          Up 36 minutes                                             eloquent_ptolemy

docker exec -it 3bc3688ea1e8 /bin/bash

You can then execute normal linux commands.  i.e. cd /usr/Spectrum/lib/SDPM ; ./processd.pl --start; /usr/Spectrum/bin/startSS.pl

2. The other method is to use docker exec:

docker exec -it -u spectrum 3bc3688ea1e8 /usr/Spectrum/lib/SDPM/processd.pl --start
docker exec -it -u spectrum 3bc3688ea1e8 /usr/Spectrum/bin/startSS.pl
