The new HCL Domino container image leverages the well known community start script to start the Domino server inside the container.

Using the start script to run Domino-related commands

• To start an interactive bash shell inside the container, use docker exec:

  docker exec -it my-domino-container bash

  The shell defaults to the "notes" user.

• For all types of commands usually invoked in a shell, you can run them on a standard Linux server. To invoke the start script, use the "domino" command.

  Note: The start script is a general script used for Docker and standard Linux and AIX servers. Some options don't apply to a Docker-based server, but are still listed in the start script running inside the container.

• To see all Domino-related commands, invoke the "domino" command without parameters.
• For additional help on the start scrip, run the "domino help" command.

The following commands are the most useful commands. For more information in the external start script documentation, see https://nashcom.github.io/domino-startscript/startscript/commands/.
