Rename Iris Instances in Docker (or distinguishing them easily in other ways)

#InterSystems IRIS #Key Question

Hi,

sometimes we need more then one Iris container at the same time. Since as containers they always have the same instance name shown in the management portal, it is hard to distinguish the management-portals of the instances. Searching for a way to make it easier I thought I could change the instance name shown in the management portal. I tried "iris rename" in different ways but could only change the configuration name which is shown by "iris list", not the name in the management portal.

Does anyone know how to achieve this or do you have other means to distinguish between management-portals of different instances in an easy way? Different background colours would be nice ;-)

Thanks, Thomas

You can change System Mode, you can put whatever you want to be displayed there

Will be displayed on top of the management portal, much more visible than the instance name

Can be set during startup by using iris merge

I don't use docker compose. I just use a shell script and the docker command. I pass

--hostname ABC123

which shows up at the top left of the Portal (server ABC123).

I think that would be hostname: ABC123 in a docker compose file.
