How to create Docker Container with a 2 stage setup process

[corgan]

Hello,

 

i want to make a docker app for a manictime server. The project is provided by the developers on dockerhub and works fine.

https://hub.docker.com/r/manictime/manictimeserver/

 

docker run -v /var/lib/manictimeserver/Data:/app/Data -p 8080:8080 manictime/manictimeserver

 

Thanks to the guides here in the forum, I could make a docker app in unraid from which it runs the server. No problem so far.

But to get this to work, I have to run a command first to create the admin user.

 

docker run -v /var/lib/manictimeserver/Data:/app/Data --rm --entrypoint dotnet  manictime/manictimeserver ManicTimeServer.dll addadmin -u <admin email> -p <admin password>

 

If I try to run the command from docker exec. it failed because of a locked Database. So these command have to run once bevor the server get starts.

 

/app# dotnet ManicTimeServer.dll addadmin -u [email protected] -p 1234
ManicTime server 4.2.2.0 started.

Stopped listening:

I could run the commands on console, no problem. But I want to make this app to share as CA App.

Is it possible with the unraid docker system to get this to work, or do I have to write my own dockerfile (which i have never done and now clue about)

Hi @corgan

 

Were you able to get this to work?  I'm having similar problems.  I'm sure it's user error on my part, but when I create the admin user from the unraid console, it appears to be applied to a different docker, and I need to start this extra manictime docker up via the console too.  Is there a way for me to create this admin account on the docker I install from apps/dockerhub?

 

Thanks!

https://hub.docker.com/r/manictime/manictimeserver/

 

```

docker run -v /var/lib/manictimeserver/Data:/app/Data -p 8080:8080 --rm --entrypoint dotnet manictime/manictimeserver Setup.dll -publicurl

```

 

To complete the installation of manictime docker, you can do the following:

1. run the official docker command from the unraid terminal, including the “entrypoint dotnet parameter”

2. check the logs for the initialization url

3. visit the url to complete the initialization configuration

4. Re-add the docker to the unraid webui.
