Hello,

Datapower in Docker using Windows 10 Enterprse

I am trying to run Ibm datapower (ibmcom/datapower) image using the command (docker run -it …) and get the following error message

“Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://docker:2375. Is the docker daemon running?”

Command used to start from Windows powershell.

docker run -it --privileged -v $PWD/config:/drouter/config -v $PWD/local:/drouter/local -e DATAPOWER_ACCEPT_LICENSE=true -e DATAPOWER_INTERACTIVE=true -p 9099:9099 --name DataPower docker pull ibmcom/datapower:2018.4.1.8r.315390r

My daemon is running in “tcp://localhost:2375” , but not sure why it is connecting to “tcp://docker:2375”

How do I change to connect to daemon in “tcp://localhost:2375” instead of “tcp://docker:2375”

I believe this is the issue but not sure. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi, you need to run this command first:

docker pull ibmcom/datapower

This will download and install the DataPower Docker container, and you only run this command once.

After that, use the following command to launch the container:

docker run -it -v $PWD/config:/drouter/config -v $PWD/local:/drouter/local -e DATAPOWER_ACCEPT_LICENSE=true -e DATAPOWER_INTERACTIVE=true -p 9090:9090 ibmcom/datapower
