How do I connect Docker to an existing database?

[Aleixenandros]

Hi!,

How do I connect Docker to an existing external database? If I leave the CMDBUILD_DUMP variable empty, it throws an error upon initialization. The database already contains data from a non-Docker installation.

Thank you and good job!

Hi, you should set:

POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_HOST=external_host
POSTGRES_DB=external_db
CMDBUILD_DUMP=empty.dump.xz
