Docker: How to create Pega container successfully!
Hi All,
I am working on Docker implementation for Pega. I have tried creating container of Pega Docker image which is available at docker hub, but container is not working.
I had tried below commands to run the image and connect with Posgres: docker run -d --name mypostgres postgres
docker run -d -e JDBC_CLASS=org.postgresql.Driver -e JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres -e DB_USERNAME=postgres -e DB_PASSWORD=postgres pegasystems/pega
related suggestions are welcomed. thanks in advance

Hi @SiddhantJivane,
Good day!
When you say container is not working I'm assuming you server is not getting started, might be because of DB connectivity issues.
If you are on linux then you are well and good to use localhost to connect to DB. But if you are using any virtual box for docker server then you might need to give the IP of it instead of localhost. To get the IP execute the following command.
docker-machine ip default
One more thing here to note is that you also need to include environmental variables
* RULES_SCHEMA=pegarules
* DATA_SCHEMA=pegadata
The command will something look like
docker run -p 8080:8080
-e DB_USERNAME=pega
-e DB_PASSWORD=pegasys
-e JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:5432/pega
-e JDBC_CLASS=org.postgresql.Driver
-e JDBC_DRIVER_URI=https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-42.2.2.jre6.jar
-e RULES_SCHEMA=pegarules
-e DATA_SCHEMA=pegadata
pegasystems/pega
This works perfectly. Let me know if you face any issues.

@singh4 After we followed your steps and the server is running, we are receiving this error ( Please see attached ). It looks like apache is up and running but fails to authenticate or create the right pages. Thanks for all your help. We don't need a special Pega access key, do we?
