RE: Installing Appian in Docker Containers - Latest

I think I have isolated the issue down to the history expansion feature for bash. It seems the history expansion feature is not enabled on the centos base container and this is causing the RUN command to fail when attempting to create the tomcatResources.xml file during the web-application build. I am by no means a linux expert but I believe I am on the right track.

Eventually I did get it to work. I did the same as Balu.

To get into the web-application running container:
docker-compose exec web-application bash

Workaround to get web-application server up:
cd $APPIAN_HOME
cd tomcat/
cp /tmp/tomcatResources.xml .
cd apache-tomcat/bin
stop-appserver.sh
start-appserver.sh
exit

Docker still shows the web-application container in an unhealthy state but I was able to log into my local appian instance. Hope this helps!

I have manually copy tomcatResources.xml in to web-application container on path /usr/local/appian/ae/tomcat/
and then start tomcat start up script in the container. Then application is started but tempo tab showing blank.

Unfortunately not. Are you experiencing the same?
