Unofficial Autodesk License Manager FLEXlm® Network Server container.

To use this container, simply treat it as if you were calling lmgrd directly. The only caveat is that the container ALWAYS adds the '-z' flag so that lmgrd will run in the Foreground. Otherwise, Docker believes the task is over, and the container will 'stop' immediately.

The container does expect the user to map a local license file to within the /var/flexlm directory.

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.

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

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

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 empty. Additionally, avoid using the '-t' flag when using the 'run' command, enabling TTL support will cause extra line breaks in your Docker logs.

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

docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash

Once in bash run:

lmutil lmstat -a -c [LICENSE_PATH]
