Issues with building Adobe's docker image.

Question

The documentation states : "For importing configurations using CAR, the CAR archives mounted to the /data directory are automatically imported during startup."  ( https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/docker-images-coldfusion.html ) . I have a .car file in there, but I don't see that it is imported. As a simple test, I just added a couple datasources, and then run the packaging & deployment > create an archive. This is how my directory structure looks like : C:\coldfusion-docker\docker-compose.yaml                                          \coldfusion.env                                  \data\cf.car When I run docker-compose up, the CF admin does not have those datasources. Also, I am running this instance on port 8506. I am having trouble finding these files. Where are they located?

The data folder needs to be IN the image, not just in the path where you RUN the image. You can either copy it in (like in a dockerfile), or by adding a volume mapping in the compose file to mount the latter into the former. I show that specifically here:

https://github.com/carehart/awesome-cf-compose/tree/master/cf-2021-car-setup

which is one of dozens of compose examples for working with CF images. Hope it gets you going and takes you still farther.

I'm not having that problem, I have my volumes mounted and I can see the car file, but I'm trying to spin up a docker container, which has three cf instances, one being cfusion and two others but I can't figure out how to create multiple instances in the same container, using car files.I'm also migrating from cf2016 using car files and I want to use them to migrate them to cf2023 using a setupconfig scriptsimilar to this:falsetruefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse<falsetrue
