Hi Melvin,

many thanks for this post, very useful.

I question, I have started the docker with the -p 8200:8200 so I can reach the API via HTTP. Now, although I can see the port being listened to, I'm still unable to to reach the server, connection refused.

Any idea why is that happening, do I need to enable the http api in any way?

Many thanks in advance.

POST http://localhost:8200/v1/auth/approle/login with below body

{ "role_id": "9be0d9ff-180b-0e58-bd99-ab9a33eac79c", "secret_id": "e57ce4a2-f932-dfb6-0f8e-c5cb05874244" }

looks like you local.json has an extra comma "default_lease_ttl": "10h",

we might want to update this vault init to vault operator init given that we pull the latest docker image of vault, which has deprecated vault init

Thanks again for this helpful post!

Hi, /bin/sh isn't working on the image for me, I am not able to get in the container. Any idea on why? Thanks.

Solved. For some reason once i stop the container and re-start it through docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /bin/sh it is fixed.
