FileMaker Server

A Docker image builder for FileMaker Server.

Usage

Prerequisites

You only need Docker installed.

Running the container

To run the container, you can use the following command:

docker run                  \
    --detach                \
    --hostname   <container_name> \
    --name       <container_name> \
    --privileged            \
    --publish    80:80      \
    --publish    443:443    \
    --publish    2399:2399  \
    --publish    5003:5003  \
    --volume                \
        <shared_FM_dir>:"/opt/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Data" \
    ghcr.io/icoseuk/filemaker-server:latest

Replace <container_name> with the name you want to give to the container, and <shared_FM_dir> with the path to the directory where you want to store the FileMaker Server data.

    --publish    2399:2399  \
    --publish    5003:5003  \
    filemaker-server

5. Access the installation container
