The architecture of DCImanager 6 is based on the use of Docker. The Docker technology allows to create and manage containers. A docker container is an isolated environment in which the application is running. DCImanager 6 uses the docker-compose service to manage all docker containers. The required environment is configured in the /opt/ispsystem/dci/docker-compose.yaml file.
DCImanager 6 containers
Container names may differ depending on the used version of Docker Compose. A hyphen may be used instead of the underscore character in container names.
To get the exact names of the containers, run the command:
docker ps -a
