Question

I have extended a docker images, and when building the dockerfile, I call the Wildfly CLI to add a datasource.
Then, when I try to run the dockerfile, I get the below error:

I have tried the suggestions on docker jboss7 war commit. Server boot failed in an unrecoverable manner but:
I am unable to set permissions on a file that has a timestamp, as I do not know what the file name should be.

RUN chmod -R 777 /opt/jboss/wildfly/standalone/configuration/

RUN $TMPDIR/config.sh

Answer 1

I believe the error is caused by the last command which is changing some permissions to the folder.
Please move down:
RUN rm -rf /opt/jboss/wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone_xml_history/current
to
RUN $TMPDIR/config.sh
RUN rm -rf /opt/jboss/wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone_xml_history/current/*
RUN chown -R jboss:jboss /opt/jboss/wildfly/
Thanks,
Andrei

There is also workaround. You can enter running container and remove folder causing this error for currently running container.
Enter running docker container
for example using this command
docker exec -it jboss_1 bash
Execute this while in container:
cd /opt/jboss/wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone_xml_history/
rm -rf current
exit
Various jboss versions might have different directories with domain_xml_history or standalone_xml_history. For example on Jboss 6.4.0 working in domain mode it is /opt/jboss/EAP-6.4.0/domain/configuration/domain_xml_history/
