How to install Docker ReportServer Community

 ReportServer for Community is a Java based application that is available through Docker. There are options to install manually but some knowledge on Tomcat and Java is required.

The Docker (version 20.10.1) option installs on an image with Debian release 10 (Buster) with ReportServer version 3.3.0. 

The ReportServer for community image is available at https://bitnami.com/stack/reportserver/containers

Pre-requisite:

• Installed Docker version 20+
• You have create an account with docker and Docker is running with your signin.

On Windows, open powershell and go to your install folder. In my case its C:\users\tboxmy

Retrieve from the server required image

docker pull bitnami/reportserver

Yet to know if this line was useful, as I did not run docker-compose up -d

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-reportserver-community/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml

Configure network and database

docker network create reportserver-tier

docker run -d --name mariadb -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes -e MARIADB_USER=bn_reportserver -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_reportserver --net reportserver-tier --volume C:\Users\nasbo\mariadb-persistence:/bitnami bitnami/mariadb:latest
