Docker

This section will demonstrate how to launch a single docker instance from a shell terminal using a folder to upload configuration options and store data. In order to maintain persistent configuration changes, you will need to mount a folder from your file system. Make sure to add a folder somewhere and open a terminal and navigate to that folder.

You may optionally add the following files to that folder:

1. autoflow.conf details for this file can be found here
2. config.json this is an exported configuration
3. license.json this is your license file

In order to create a docker container for API AutoFlow, you can use the following command.

docker run -dit \\
  --name api-interactor \\
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/app/data \\
  -p 4000:4000 \\
  -p 8080:8080 \\
  -p 1111:1111 \\
  -p 2222:2222 \\
  interactor/api-interactor:latest

<aside> 💡 Note that ports 8080, 1111 and 2222 are opened to be used as part of the solution you create. Port 4000 is used by the API AutoFlow UI.

If you would like to use a specific docker image, you can replace the word latest with the desired tag name. Also, you can add/remove ports using the -p flag and you may also change the container name by replacing -name api-interactor

Once the container is made it will start immediately. You can stop and start it using:

docker stop api-interactor docker start api-interactor

If you would like to remove the container:

docker rm api-interactor

If you would like to attach to the running console:

docker attach api-interactor
