Starting containers by retrieving parameters from container environment variables

If you do not use Vault, we can retrieve parameters from container environment variables (CONFIGURE_MODE=EnvVariables). For example, if we are using docker run, we can pass all parameters through command line, or if we are setting up a pipeline, we can set the pipeline to provide the parameters. By using this approach, you need to:

• Be familiar with WebSphere Commerce Docker configuration logic and Docker parameters.

• Configure the host names and certifications of related components.

If we are going to manage a multi-tenant environment, it is suggested you use start Vault configuration mode (CONFIGURE_MODE=Vault).

To start EnvVariables configuration mode, edit preConfigure.sh to include the following:

docker run -it -e LICENSE=accept  \
    -e CONFIGURE_MODE=EnvVariables    
    -e <Parameter1>=<Value1>
    -e <Parameter2>=<Value2>
    <Docker image>  

Note: If you use this method and do not use the default host names, ensure that our custom host name matches the SubjectAlternativeNames in related certifications in other containers.
