Docker YAML variables for User Authentication, Database Connections

Ignition
1

Hello,

I reviewed the documentation online, I haven't been able to locate how we can get database connections, user authentication setup using Docker compose with the YAML.

Is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction?

This level of configuration is not yet possible against a fresh gateway. If you need to integrate this type of configuration, you can supply a GWBK and direct the container to restore on fresh-launch.

That said, we're actively working to improve that potential with the next major release of Ignition.

I maintain some examples on how to build derived images with some more advanced features in this repository: GitHub - thirdgen88/ignition-derived-example: Derived Image Example using Official Ignition Docker Image as Base

Thanks. Will the approach allow for spinning up docker images running a gateway that is a different version than the one that it is restoring on?

Yes, as long as you're restoring forward (where your container image version is >= the gwbk version), you're okay.
