To access the Password Pusher application console running inside a Docker container, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites

  • You have Docker installed on your machine.
  • You have the Password Pusher Docker container running
  • You have the Docker CLI configured to connect to the Docker daemon.

Step 1: Get the Container ID

To access the Password Pusher console, you’ll need to get the ID of the Docker container running your application. You can do this by running the following command:

docker ps -a

This will list all running containers, including the one with your application. Note down the container ID, which is a long string of characters.

Step 2: Open a New Terminal Window

Open a new terminal window to access the container.

Step 3: Run the Docker Exec Command

Run the following command to open a new terminal session inside the container:

docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash

Note: Replace <container_id> with the actual ID of your container.

Step 4: Navigate to the Application Root

Once you’re inside the container, navigate to the Password Pusher root directory:

cd /opt/PasswordPusher

Step 5: Start the Password Pusher Console

Start the Password Pusher console by running the following command:

bin/pwpush console

This will launch the Password Pusher console, allowing you to interact with your application.

  • If you want to run the Password Pusher console with a specific environment (e.g., production or development), you can specify the environment variable: 
    bin/pwpush console RAILS_ENV=production
  • If you want to run the Password Pusher console with a specific database configuration, you can specify the database environment variable: 
    bin/pwpush console DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/database
