Different installations require setting specific properties in the configuration files for My webMethods Server. You can modify a configuration file to include placeholder values for various server properties and use that file as a template for multiple installations, then supply the values specific to an instance or cluster for My webMethods Server to pick up during container startup.

You supply parametrized templates of the instance or cluster configuration files by mapping a volume to the instance_cfg or cluster_cfg directories. When starting new containers, you supply the values specific to the instance or cluster as environment variables or as system properties. For more information about supplying configuration files from a volume, see Modifying the Configuration of a Container.

My webMethods Server containers accept parametrized values as environment variables passed from the Docker CLI or as system properties specified in the custom_wrapper.conf file for the server instance. In a template file the two types are distinguished using a dedicated prefix, which is env for use with the Docker CLI or sys for system properties in the custom_wrapper.conf file.

My webMethods Server containers accept parametrized values for the following configuration files:
