cf-latest

Compose sample application

ColdFusion standalone application

This is just the most basic demonstration, and while using the "latest" tag is an option, it's not the best. See other examples that show pointing to a specific tag (for a specific update of a specific CF version).

Project structure:

services:
    coldfusion:

        ports:

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d

Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below (note that the version reported may differ for you, in using the "latest" tag):

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                                    COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS                        PORTS                                         NAMES
d935f819f622        adobecoldfusion/coldfusion2021:latest   "sh /opt/startup/sta…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute (healthy)   8118/tcp, 45564/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8500->8500/tcp   cf-latest_coldfusion_1

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:8500 in your web browser to see available files in CF's default webroot (added to by the /app volume mapping)

Or run http://localhost:8500/test.cfm in your web browser to see the test page in the mapped /app folder, or run via curl:

$ curl http://localhost:8500/test.cfm

Which will show:
Hello World! at 03-Oct-2021 02:35:44

Run this to see a dump of the server.coldfusion struct within the container: navigate to http://localhost:8500/dumpserver.cfm in your web browser or run:

$ curl http://localhost:8500/dumpserver.cfm

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down
