Docker Commands for Maximo Consultants

Containers are becoming popular day by day and provide great flexibility of running the instance locally and play around for developers. For Maximo developers, it is even more relevant as there is no need to coordinate with others while enabling admin mode, or restarting the server, etc for any developmental need.

Docker for Maximo can be used by Developers to run their isolated local instance. A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime system tools, system libraries, and settings.

While working with docker, the following are some of the frequently used commands which every Maximo consultant should know.

Happy Dockerizing!
