Unofficial Autodesk License Manager FLEXlm® Network Server container.

Usage

To use this container, simply treat it as if you were calling lmgrd directly. The only caveat is that the container ALWAYS appends the -z flag when executing lmgrd internally so to ensure it runs in the Foreground; otherwise, Docker believes the command has finished executing, and the container is immediately stopped.

A typical usage example, where a single license file, adsk_server.lic, is saved to a local directory. This directory's path, <local-license-path>, is them mapped to the containers /var/flexlm directory, and is finally referenced as if calling as lmgrd directly: -c /var/flexlm/adsk_server.lic.

bash
docker run -d --mac-address=<license-mac-address> \
-h <license-hostname> \
-v <local-license-path>:/var/flexlm/adsk_server.lic:ro \
-p 2080:2080 -p 27000-27009:27000-27009 \
haysclark/adlmflexnetserver \
-c /var/flexlm/adsk_server.lic

Alternatively, you can map a local folder containing multiple keys to the /var/flexlm directory as well.

bash
docker run -d --mac-address=<license-mac-address> \
-h <license-hostname> \
-v <local-license-folder-path>:/var/flexlm \
-p 2080:2080 -p 27000-27009:27000-27009 \
haysclark/adlmflexnetserver \
-c /var/flexlm/license_file_1:/var/flexlm/license_file_2

Logging

Docker's built-in logging functionality will collect the stdout/stderr generated by lmgrd.

bash
docker logs <container-id>

Thus it's recommended you do NOT use the -l flag to log to a file, doing so will cause your Docker logs to be e***y. Additionally, avoid using the -t flag when using Docker's run command, enabling TTL support will cause extra line breaks in your Docker logs.

Troubleshooting

If you are unsure if the server is running correctly, you can log into the container.

bash
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/bash

Once in bash run:

bash
lmutil lmstat -a -c <license-path>
