license error

[EUConsulting]

hi
I downloaded the Interbase-Docker image and installed it successfully
I inserted the license that came with my recently purchased copy of Delphi 12 Enterprise and the registration process was completed successfully
I successfully used Interbase on Docker by migrating some databases from the 2020 version of Windows which has the same license
I restarted the container out of necessity and access to Interbase was denied, in the log I find that the product is NOT licensed and to reinstall the license.

NO DATABASE NAME
Product is not registered. Please register and restart
Registration file error: use Registration Code: 7190330

Why does this happen?
How can I reinstall the license without having to destroy the container?
Help, thanks

this problem is generated by the gds port change
you need to generate a container with the port change by modifying all the references to the 3050 in the various scripts
doing so it works

@EUConsulting are you running the container with a volume assigned? I don’t see any apparent reason of licensing problems related to the server port.

Hi
if you want to reproduce the problem you have to use all your instructions, change only the dockerfile with port 3060 (for example) but do not touch the values.txt (it was a stupid oversight of mine)
the installation works perfectly
you give the license and it responds correctly registered
do a login from the ibconsole on windows
everything ok
restart the container and you will see that it does not work anymore and in the interbase log (interbase.log under /opt/interbase) you will find the corrupt license report
sorry for my english but I use google translate

[lmbelo]

Well, it is not necessary to change the port from container side, you only need to map it to any eternal one. If you change the container port, you also need to update the values.txt file with your new port.

Thanks for the advice
I needed to change the gds port because on the machine where Docker runs there is also Interbase 2020 on Windows
The other week we transferred with a Backup from the Windows IB Console and a Docker cp a 5 GB Interbase DB and always with the IB console on Windows we did the Restore directly on Linux
Everything works!!!
Also all the DB management on Linux from the IB console on Windows works perfectly.
Our software also seems to work regularly with the DB on Linux.

The only thing is not possible to do a backup and a direct restore with the Windows IB Console but only using a docker cp to transfer the ibk.
It could be an interesting additional feature.

You can place your database in the volume created for your container in the host machine. Have you tested this approach?

[EUConsulting]

the databases are on a shared volume between the various containers in this way if I lose the IB container I do not lose the databases. Is this what you meant?

[lmbelo]

Exactly. But you mentioned before that you're sharing your database between environments, right? So you only need to copy the database from origin machine to destination volume.

[EUConsulting]

ok!!!!!
Grazie!
thank you very much

Hi
Sorry to bother you but it happened again that the license was canceled.
on September 29th everything was ok
on September 30th it died
I assure you that absolutely nothing has changed except the internal IP that is assigned by the router and it went from 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.12 due to the need to restart the router
can you help me?
I'm completely stuck with development and testing.
the interbase log has reached 2GB

Hello @EUConsulting, you're not bothering 💪

Can you share the exactly same command you're using to run your container, please?

[EUConsulting]

Sorry for delay

docker inspect.txt
license ib from docker.zip

I use the docker console to start the container
I'm attaching some details for you
in the zip there are the license files downloaded from the iblicense volume
this is the command taken from the docker menu (copy docker run)

Try running your container directly with the following command:

docker run -it -p 3050:3050 --name interbase --mount source=iblicense,target=/opt/interbase/license --mount source=interbase,target=/opt/interbase docker.io/library/ib2020u4

I'm not sure if you have configured volumes on Docker Desktop, but try to reproduce your issue running your container like the script above.

[EUConsulting]

I updated the comment with more data

[lmbelo]

You're not mapping volumes properly. I'm very sure you won't face that again running the script I have shared.
Another question: are you running Docker over WSL?
