Accessing a remote Liberty server in a Docker container by using developer tools
You can set up your remote Liberty server in a Docker container so that you can access it by using WebSphere Developer Tools. After you complete this setup, you can use WebSphere Developer Tools to configure and start your remote Liberty server.
Before you begin
- Install Docker, Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (CLI), and the Cloud Foundry plug-in for
IBM Containers.
For more information about installation, see IBM Containers plug-in.
- Log in to your Bluemix account, choose your organization and space, and then log in to your IBM
Containers service.
For more information about logging in to your accounts, see Logging into the CLI.
Tip: You can either run cf ic commands or docker commands to set up a Liberty server in a Docker container. For more information about cf ic commands and docker commands, see the Step 5 section of Logging into the CLI.
