Can I run a suite with the Docker image, or is it only the server?

Example threads. These questions and answers were written by the SDODS team to document real problems and how to fix them. The people named are illustrative, not real users. Questions asked on this site are marked new.

The image is described as the server and the web UI. Our CI does not need a UI, it needs to run the API layer and fail the build. Is the image the wrong tool for that, or does it do both?

install docker ci

Accepted answer
It does both. The entrypoint defaults to serve, understands bootstrap, and passes anything else straight to the CLI. So any command you would run locally is an argument to the container:
bash
```
docker run --rm ghcr.io/yarlisaisolutions/sdods-server run -p demo-shop -e staging -l api
```
The exit code comes back through, which is the part that matters for a build gate.
For a UI layer you need nothing extra — the browser engines are already inside the image. That is the one channel that needs nothing at all installed on the host.

Mount your project in and point the run at it, or it will only ever see the demo project that ships inside the image:
bash
```
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work -w /work ghcr.io/yarlisaisolutions/sdods-server run -p my-app -e staging -l api
```
Projects are discovered from the working directory, so -w is doing real work in that line and not just tidiness.

On Apple silicon add --platform linux/amd64 to both of those — the image is amd64 only and Docker refuses the pull rather than emulating on its own.

Wrap commands and output in triple backticks and they will render as a code block.
