Managing policies on Docker and Podman

This section outlines the steps on how to manage policies in a Docker and Podman environment.

About this task

You can manage your policies on Docker by modifying the following file.
  • docker-compose.yml

The Docker and Podman commands are similar. The only difference is that docker precedes the command when issued in a Docker environment and podman precedes the name in a Podman environment. Example commands used in the Sametime documentation are shown using Docker. For Podman, change docker to podman.

Procedure

  1. Copy the applicable files out of the container. 
    docker cp <container_name>:/local/notesdata/policies.user.xml .
docker cp <container_name>:/local/notesdata/policies.server.xml .
    This step places the files in the current directory.
  2. Locate and edit the policies as necessary.
  3. In the Community section of docker-compose.yml, add a volume reference. Below is an example. 
    services:
    community:
      image: hclcr.io/st/chat-server:${BUILD_LEVEL}
      restart: ${RESTART_POLICY}
      env_file:
        - custom.env
        - debug.env
      environment:
        - JWT_SECRET_ENV=${JWT_APP_SECRET}
        - DOMINO_SERVER_HOST_ENV=domino
        - DOMINO_SERVER_NAME_ENV=CN\=domino\/O\=test
        - DOMINO_SERVER_DOMAIN_ENV=test
        - ST_BRANDING_INFO_ENV=standard
      volumes:
        - ./policies.user.xml:/local/notesdata/policies.user.xml
      networks:
        - sametime.test
      extra_hosts:
        - "stmobilev12:10.134.102.40"
  4. Restart the server to apply the changes.
