⁠This repository has been sunsetted. Switch to IBM Container Registry (ICR)

The publishing and maintenance of this repository as well as all Universal Base Image (UBI) based container images for WebSphere Liberty, Open Liberty and WebSphere Application Server Base in Docker Hub has ended. For more details, see the sunset notice⁠. This repository could be deleted and you won't be able to pull the images.

The final versions of container images in this Docker Hub repository are 9.0.5.24 and 8.5.5.27. Since 9.0.5.8 and 8.5.5.18, these images have also been available from IBM Container Registry (ICR) using the same tags. You must immediately switch to the images in ICR to continue to receive new versions, updates and security fixes. To switch to ICR, simply replace references to ibmcom/websphere-traditional and docker.io/ibmcom/websphere-traditional with icr.io/appcafe/websphere-traditional. Pulls from ICR are not rate limited.

⁠Overview

The images in this repository contain IBM WebSphere Application Server traditional. Instructions on how to use this image as well as the scripts used to build the images can be found on GitHub⁠. See the license section below for restrictions relating to the usage of this image.

⁠Images

We are keeping N-2 9.0.5.x release images in this repository, which means the current fixpack and the previous two. We will also eventually be providing N-2 8.5.5.x release images, starting with 8.5.5.17.

⁠Admin console

In both cases a secure profile is created with an admin user ID of wsadmin and a generated password. The generated password can be retrieved from the container using the following command:

docker exec test cat /tmp/PASSWORD

It is also possible to specify a password when the container is run by mounting a file containing the password to /tmp/PASSWORD. For example:

docker run --name test -h test -v $(pwd)/PASSWORD:/tmp/PASSWORD \
  -p 9043:9043 -p 9443:9443 -d ibmcom/websphere-traditional

Once the server has started, you can access the admin console at https://localhost:9043/ibm/console/login.do?action=secure⁠. If you are running in Docker Toolbox, use the value returned by docker-machine ip instead of localhost.
