9 years ago This is more for legal concern. For non-express-C version, I believer whoever is using DB2 servers know (or are entitled) to get the updates. I didn't think this is a Dockerfile's concern. (Plus, there are multiple fix-packs available.)
However, I did think for Express-C version it would be great to download automatically while building the Dockerfile. Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way.
There could be an easier way to download the DB2 binaries.
I know the DB2 installer has to be downloaded from IBM (fixpack central) and the URL is not the same. However, the URL for the download works for several days:
https://delivery04.dhe.ibm.com/sdfdl/v2/sar/CM/IM/04yrx/0/Xa.2/Xb.jusyLTSp44S03sPo7dOkuuPNYPGduOKijQCAuicsFTCmcyTaVJLKXWtvJPQ/Xc.CM/IM/04yrx/0/v10.5fp5_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz/Xd./Xf.LPR.D1vk/Xg.7883730/Xi.habanero/XY.habanero/XZ.grlA6AsFBIuMIQhgkuzeJ9ZAh-s/v10.5fp5_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
Also, you can provide the direct URL to generate a new Download URL:
http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/quickorder?parent=ibm%7EInformation%2BManagement&product=ibm/Information+Management/DB2&release=10.5.*&platform=Linux+64-bit,x86_64&function=fixId&fixids=DB2-linuxx64-server_t-10.5.0.5-FP005&includeRequisites=1&includeSupersedes=0&downloadMethod=http&source=fc
I use that in my projects with TravisCI. For example: https://travis-ci.org/angoca/db2unit/jobs/44276823
