Prior to the release of Adabas 7.3, the only way to use Adabas in a container environment was to use scripts to build the container image by yourself. With the new Adabas release, Software AG now also provides prebuilt Adabas container images for easy and quick use. The following images are available:

Image name and version	Description
softwareagcr.azurecr.io/adabas:version	Container image of Adabas excluding trace binaries
softwareagcr.azurecr.io/adabas:version-trace	Container image of Adabas including trace binaries
softwareagcr.azurecr.io/adabas-rest:version	Container image containing Adabas and the RESTful Administration Service
softwareagcr.azurecr.io/adabas-rest:version-trace	Container image containing Adabas including trace binaries and the RESTful Administration Service

The images are updated with every Adabas update.

To access the images, you have to:

1. Visit the official Software AG Container Registry at https://containers.softwareag.com/products.

2. Authenticate yourself using your Empower credentials.

3. Visit your profile and generate the required Container Registry credentials to pull container images from the official Software AG Container Registry.

4. To use these credentials on your local machine, enter docker login -u username -p token softwareagcr.azurecr.io.

5. Go to the product page of the desired container image and get the docker pull command.

6. Use the docker pull command on your local machine to download the desired container image.
