dockerfiles/cdash

[Flosens]

Sorry for contacting you through this issue, but I have not found any email to rely to. Thank you very much for sharing your cdash/docker setup. I am trying to use it but I cannot figure out how to properly get it to work. Would you mind letting me know how to properly run/start the container ?

• Where do you set/pass values for the variables %CDASH_DB_PASSWD%, %CDASH_DB_SERVER%, %CDASH_SERVER%, ... ?
• Is it ok to use 'localhost' for $CDASH_DB_HOST ($CDASH_DB_HOST='%CDASH_DB_SERVER%') ?
• Where/How is the database server located/started ? Is is in a separate docker container ? Any special setup for the db server ? Do you use docker's --link to connect the cdash with the mysql ?

Cheers.

Look into main startup script run_server.sh All %-variables are set there from env. Database is neither set/not exists in the container, you need to link with database server from outside (just set all address/credentials in the env). The easiest way is to use the container as the base for your own, and set all necessary env there. (also, you can install mysql there if you want, and so, use localhost for DB, having in mind all necessary steps to persist the data when container is stopped)
