Docker-images: mkdir: cannot create directory '/u01/oracle/properties': File exists A properties file with the username and password needs to be supplied.

[gcstang]

When starting my docker container via:

oracle/weblogic:12213-p27117282 is a 12.2.1.3-developer image that has been patched.

docker run -d --restart=always \
-p 7001:7001 \
-p 9002:9002 \
-v pwd/domain.properties:/u01/oracle/properties \
-e ADMINISTRATION_PORT_ENABLED=true \
-e DOMAIN_NAME=abc_domain \
oracle/weblogic:12213-p27117282

I receive the aforementioned error:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/u01/oracle/properties': File exists
A properties file with the username and password needs to be supplied.

If I instead start it like this without the properties file and copy it to the container then start it works but a password error is declared.
docker run -d --restart=always \
-name weblogic \
-p 7001:7001 \
-p 9002:9002 \
-e ADMINISTRATION_PORT_ENABLED=true \
-e DOMAIN_NAME=abc_domain \
oracle/weblogic:12213-p27117282

docker cp domain.properties weblogic:/u01/oracle/properties
docker start weblogic

-- domain.properties example --
username=myadminusername
password=Myadm1np399w0rd

I am having the same issue, is there an answer?

[mriccell]

I will take a look at the permissions when creating the properties file in the image.

[mriccell]

Oh I see I need to make it more generic to only create the directory for the properties if it is not already existent. Let me create a PR to fix this!

@mriccell , Even i am getting the same error while executing the below command. Please help

This issue is affecting on all webLogic docker containers. I have the same issue.

I'm having same issue.

A properties file with the username and password needs to be supplied

[krishna36]

I was able to get this to work by following samples..
12213-domain, which has scripts
"We are supplying scripts run_admin_server.sh and run_managed_server.sh to facilitate setting the environment variables defined in the property files and running the admin server and managed server containers."

[rguptan]

The Volume needs to be the folder containing the property file.
