? No Terminal access to docker images ?
To prepare a migration to IRIS I use Docker images.
The (aged) application is built around Caché Terminal
And on Windows, IRIS uses the same ctelnetd.exe as Caché.
In my Docker installation, Telnet Settings are just grayed out in SMP.
and my Terminal can't 'connect.
Port mapping is OK and verified with TCP
Working from the console in Docker with the whole set of ESC and
screen formatting is not acceptable.
We tried WebTerminal but there is just no Partition behind as in Terminal.
How can I switch on Telnet support in the Docker image?
Product version: IRIS 2022.2
I installed telnet in an IRIS container using:
Then tested it using:
This requires your container to be networked with the target. So a full example:
That works somehow.
But this is the wrong direction.
I need to access my IRIS instance over TELNET .
AND THIS IS THE REASON
sometimes it is an advantage to read to the end of the line !!
it is just not implemented outside Windows.
Your issue with screen formatting is very interesting, it deserves a separate topic. I have not seen any issues yet with it. While I’d like to find a way to improve a standard IRIS terminal, like irissqlcli, I’d like to see the most challenging parts like this.
webTerminal obviously not a right tool for it. As a replacement for it, you can try to use ttyd, I use it for irissqlcli-web
I found an acceptable workaround.
You may raise all concerns on Security and Container Isolation. Accepted! And ignored!
Since THIS solves my issues on optical verification of the user interface.
