Goal

To run Foundry licenses through a Docker container.

Setup

In order for the container to serve licenses, you need to be able to ping the container. For Windows/Mac please follow this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39216830/how-could-i-ping-my-docker-container-from-my-host or docker/for-win#221

Using Docker Desktop the above setup is not necessary.

Install

git clone https://github.com/aaronrancsik/docker-foundry-rlm.git
cd docker-foundry-rlm
docker build -t rlm-foundry .

Usage Verbose

docker run --mac-address 08:00:27:ef:70:d3 --hostname licenseserver -i -t rlm-foundry:latest

In background

docker run -d --rm --mac-address 08:00:27:ef:70:d3 --hostname licenseserver -i -t rlm-foundry:latest

In verbose the first line of the output will show the IP address. Ex.:

IP ADDRESS:
172.17.0.2

When inputting the license server to use in a Foundry product use 5053@{IP ADDRESS}.

Restarting

You can have the license server always running even between reboots of the host machine by adding the --restart=always.

docker run --restart=always -d --rm --mac-address 08:00:27:ef:70:d3 --hostname licenseserver -i -t rlm-foundry:latest
