What is the root password for Archiva Docker image? #14

Closed dungba88 closed 5 years ago

Hi

I wanted to install an editor (vim/nano) to change the configuration (disable the password expiration), but sudo is not installed. Also su required a password. Please tell me what the password is.

Your question actually doesn't have anything to do with our image or archiva - in general, docker images shouldn't execute tasks as the root user or have sudo/su installed. So, what you're seeing is expected.

To your specific question, there is no root password. If you'd like to execute commands as the root user, use the docker exec command specifying the --user flag as root. (See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/exec/)

However, you probably shouldn't be editing configuration files in this image by hand. If you need to configure something differently in the image you should either...

  1. Create a custom image, using this image as a base image
  2. Overwrite the configuration file you want to modify using a custom volume mount
  3. If the file you're changing is the Jetty configuration you can use the documented JETTY_CONFIG_PATH
