Building a Docker Image from a My webMethods Server Installation
The mws_container.sh script provides additional command-line tooling for using the docker build command to create an image for a single-instance installation of My webMethods Server from a provided Dockerfile.
*To build a Docker image for My webMethods Server
1. Go to the Software AG_directory /MWS/tools/docker/bin directory of your My webMethods Server installation.
2. Run mws_docker.sh build, and customize the image generation by specifying one or more of the following parameters:
