Re: [Apiman-user] Creating resources using Docker image

Is that true? The state of the container is lost each time you stop it? I thought the EAP data directory was preserved across container start/stop, so that the state was preserved. But I guess I'm wrong? If it's true that state is *not* preserved, then the script can just blindly run I guess. -Eric On 7/23/2015 12:26 PM, Arun Gupta wrote: > > That could work too!
