Unit 5: Install FMR on Any Port

By default, FMR installs on port 8080. There are a number of reasons why you may want to install FMR on a different port instead, such as to avoid conflicts with other software (e.g. Stat Suite also uses port 8080) or to run multiple versions of FMR at the same time.

Installing FMR on any port

• [FMR-name] is the name of the FMR docker image (default fmr)
• [FMR-port] is the port number that you wish to use for FMR (default 8080)

The command to install FMR is the following:

docker container create ––name [FMR-name]
    ––env SERVER_URL=http://localhost:[FMR-port]
    ––publish [FMR-port]:8080 sdmxio/fmr-mysql:latest
