Hello, I am new to Ignition and Docker and trying to get a 7.9 system running in Docker. I was able to successfully get everything working from the Docker side and I can access the gateway from a browser, however, I am not able to launch Designer due to Java being deprecated. I read about other Java containers in Docker being available and started going down a rabbit hole. Has anyone successfully got Designer 7.9 to work and what did you use? ---
