Use the following command to start the container:

note

The container runs on port 8080. You can map it to any host port.

docker run --name <containername> -d -p <host_port>:8080 <imagename:version>

Example:

docker run --name wmapp -d -p 80:8080 wmimage:1.0

Accessing the deployed Application​

If Docker is running on the Host network, use the Host IP address to access the application on the web. Get an Instance IP Address using the following command to access the application on the web. Please run the below command in the web application hosting Instance.

ifconfig
  • Above command will provide the network interfaces and their respective IP Address in Instance. Please use the respective IP Address to access the application on the web. You can access the application with http://<HOST_IP:HOST_PORT>/<APPLICATION_CONTEXT>/.
