Creating Container Images with Software AG Installer on Linux systems
 
Examples
You can use Software AG Installer to create container images on Linux systems without a preexisting installation. The Installer client can install any certified products along with their fixes and build a container image. When one or more of the products you are using to build a container image have default administrator passwords, make sure to specify the --admin-password property. Only products that are certified for containerization and their top level dependencies are shown in the product tree and only a single runtime product can be selected at a time. For example, if you select Microservices Runtime then you won't be able to select Universal Messaging, because both products provide their runtime and entrypoint scripts.
Note:
Products that are not certified or are not in the scope of the release are not shown in the Installer tree.
*To create a container image with Software AG Installer, start the Installer client executable with the create container-image command after adding the desired options to the command.
*To view all required and available options when creating a container image with Software AG Installer, start the Installer client executable with the create container-image help command.
*To view all available product and fix IDs, use the list artifacts command. For more information see Listing the Available Artifacts.
When you are creating an image with Software AG Installer and a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error occurrs, add the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dcom.softwareag.installer.useTempFileForZipMerge=true system environment and then create the image.
Note:
This functionality is not available for releases lower than 10.11.
