Update Docker images with WebSphere Commerce Update Packages

Updates for WebSphere Commerce runtime environments are delivered as new Docker images. To update the runtime environment, you need to download the new images, rebuild images to include custom code, and then deploy new containers.

IBM recommends that one person in our organization complete this task and push the new Docker images to your private Docker registry. By doing so, the rest of our organization can simply pull the updated Docker images without having to rebuild with custom code.

Procedure

1. Download the new Docker images.

2. Set the spiuser password in the new Docker images.

   During the initial set up of your private Docker registry, you or an administrator should have Dockerfile. Otherwise, recreate the files.

3. Deploy your existing custom code to the new Docker images.
