Using Docker to access IDRAC6 

Glad to hear it's helped someone.

r r When you spin up a container you use the -p hostport:containerport format. The container port has to stay the same but you can increment the host port by 1. Or whatever you want really just as long as the host ports are available. And really you only need the first port if you’re going to connect via the webpage. The second port is for directly connecting via VNC. So basically -p 5800:5800 then -p 5801:5800 then 5802:5800 etc. And you have to change the web address for each localhost:5800 then localhost:5801. Etc

Good4Y0u what RPI? The picture in the thumbnail is an iDRAC card for a Dell R710.

@@AllenSampsell i mean to say were you able to build the image for arm processors. To run it off say a raspberry pi. (RPI) . I could only build it on a non arm machine.

Good4Y0u ahh I see. No I’m not the one who created it. And I don’t have any experience building for an RPI. I don’t actually own one yet either lol

@@AllenSampsell ah. I just one as a jump box for my servers. Currently I vpn in and run the windows java version with the security disabled. It works but not as well as this does. .. with the caviate that if I need the idrac I likely don't have the host itself up and thus can't use the host for this container. My catch 22.

Should be able to add another Docker volume. Might want to use a bind mount to a specific folder and then place you iso file there. I don’t know the exact steps as I have not used it. I have physical access and an SD card.

Sorry, that's a new one on me. You figure it out?

@@AllenSampsell Not yet. I’m doing some research because in the docker logs there’s an error trying to find the com.avocent.kvm.client.Main class

Thanks for posting the link. I have tested this and it does work, I just don't like enabling those outdated algorithms especially with it being Java...

You still need to save the viewer.jnlp and run it. And have to do this every time you have a new session. The docker is so much easier and quicker.
