Chapter 5. Managing Containers
Overview
You can create, edit, and delete a container from the Fabric perspective of the Management Console. The type of container you create depends on the purpose and location of the container.
You can create a child container, a cloud container, or an ssh container. If you create a cloud container, make sure you have the credentials to your cloud account. If you create an ssh container, make sure you have the remote host properties.
If you do not create or join a fabric, you must use the Karaf console to create the container and use the Container perspective to view and manage container properties. See Red Hat JBoss Fuse Console Reference for Karaf Console commands.
Creating a container
Depending on the location from which you create the container, the Management Console auto-fills one or more container properties. For example, if you create a container for an existing profile from the Wiki page, the profile name appears in the Selected Profiles list.
To create a container:
- To create a container, navigate to one of the pages from which you can create a container and click the button to open the Create New Container page. You can create containers from the following pages:
- The Container page
- The Services > Container page
- The Services > MQ page
- Set the container properties, such as the name and user credentials to use when JBoss Fuse runs the container.
- Click the button to save the container. The Containers page opens and shows the container name and status. It may take some time to download and assign all the container features and dependencies.NoteIf you create an OpenShift container, the container also appears as an application on the OpenShift applications page.
Editing container properties
You can access the Container Details page from multiple areas in the Fabric perspective of the Management Console, amongst which are:
- The Container page
- The Services > Container page
To edit a container, click the container name and edit the container properties in the Container Details page. If you added or removed profiles, bundles, or other components, the Management Console shows the progress of the changes and the state of the container.
Deleting one or more containers
You can delete containers from the Containers page or the Services > Containers page.
To delete containers, select one or more containers from the list and click the Delete button.
