[sunnythepatel]

Hi Everyone, I am trying to install opePDC on a docker container but facing some issues /opt/openPDC doesn't have openPDC.exe file. I am using this file http://www.gridprotectionalliance.org/Products/openPDC/Scripts/install-openPDC.sh Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Dockerfile
FROM mono:latest
WORKDIR /app
RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y binutils curl mono-devel ca-certificates-mono fsharp mono-vbnc nuget referenceassemblies-pcl \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/*
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget  unzip mono-xbuild
COPY install-openPDC.sh /app
RUN pwd && ls
EXPOSE 8900
RUN bash install-openPDC.sh -p
#WORKDIR /app/openPDC
#RUN pwd && ls
#WORKDIR /opt
#RUN pwd && ls
#WORKDIR /opt/openPDC
#RUN pwd && ls
#RUN mono -V
#COPY openPDC.exe .
#RUN  bash register-openPDC.sh
CMD [ "mono", "openPDC.exe", "-RunAsConsole" ]
#CMD [ "/opt/openPDC/openPDC", "start" ]

Hi @ritchiecarroll Can you please help me with this issue? Thank you

Hi Sunny,

I've never tried running the mono-based openPDC on Docker. That script was designed to install into a Linux environment, there are several differences with a Docker deployment.

May be about time to update that script to (1) use latest code, and (2) perhaps add a Docker deployment switch.

Thanks, Ritchie
