Selecting the Installers that You Want to Include in Your Docker Container
InstallAnywhere 2020 SP2
When you are configuring your Docker container, you need to specify the installers that you want to be run in the Docker container. You can include the installer that is created as part of the same InstallAnywhere project that you are using to create the Docker container. You can also optionally include existing built executable files from other InstallAnywhere projects. In addition, you can include third-party installers. When you build the Docker container in InstallAnywhere, Docker automatically runs all of the installers that are configured to be part of the Docker container.
Note:All installers that are specified must be capable of unattended silent installations; otherwise, the Docker container build and the run-time Docker container might stop at the point these installers prompt for user interaction.
To select the installers to be run in your Docker container:
| 1. | In the Advanced Designer, on the Build page, click Build Containers. The Build Containers view opens. |
| 2. | In the Docker Configuration area, in the Choose Container Configuration setting, select the configuration that you want to configure. |
| 3. | In the Base Image Configuration area, in the Setups to Install setting, click the Add/Remove button. The Add Installer dialog box opens. |
| 4. | Select the type of installer that you want to add, and then configure the settings under the list of installer options. Once you have specified the appropriate details, click the Add button. |
To learn more, see Add Installer Dialog Box.
| 5. | Click the OK button. |
The next time that you build your Docker container, InstallAnywhere uses the installers that you selected for your container.
