Persistent Data
To create a Docker image that can persist the Universal data, you can create a dockerfile like the one below.
This dockerfile exposes port 5000, creates a
/data volume, sets configuration environment variables to store the Universal repository and database in the volume and then sets the Universal.Server as the entry point to the container.Linux
1
FROM ironmansoftware/universal:latest
