And it looks like that if I want to create a database I need to have two entries:

SYS.Databases and

Databases.

Here is the minimal config to create IRISAPP namespace with one database IRISAPP in /irisapp folder.

{
    "Defaults":{
        "DBDIR" : "${MGRDIR}",
        "DBDATA" : "${DBDIR}irisapp/"
    },
    "SYS.Databases":{
        "${DBDATA}" : {}
    },
    "Databases":{
        "IRISAPP" : {
            "Directory" : "${DBDATA}"
        }
    },
    "Namespaces":{
        "IRISAPP": {
            "Globals":"IRISAPP"
        }
    }
    }

Works.

I use it in the following way to set up a docker container before loading the ZPM dev module into it.

And we updated the images with ZPM 0.2.14 too:

intersystemsdc/iris-community:2020.3.0.221.0-zpm

intersystemsdc/iris-community:2020.4.0.547.0-zpm

intersystemsdc/iris-ml-community:2020.3.0.302.0-zpm

intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2020.3.0.221.0-zpm

intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2020.4.0.547.0-zpm

And to launch IRIS do:

docker run --rm --name my-iris -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/iris-community:2020.3.0.221.0-zpm

docker run --rm --name my-iris -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/iris-community:2020.4.0.547.0-zpm

docker run --rm --name my-iris -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/iris-ml-community:2020.3.0.302.0-zpm

docker run --rm --name my-iris -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2020.3.0.221.0-zpm

docker run --rm --name my-iris -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2020.4.0.547.0-zpm

And for terminal do:

docker exec -it my-iris iris session IRIS

and to start the control panel:

http://localhost:9092/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp

To stop and destroy container do:

docker stop my-iris

Just to give my 5 cents on this: it's not great to suggest unsupported approaches to solve problems.

But for us it is always great feedback what features we could include the support for in the product. 

@Vitaliy.Serdtsev , thank you for your continuous willingness to help developers to solve their issues.

@Vic Sun your point is very fair - it's almost impossible to support unsupported usage and it can cause unpredictable problems. 

Thank you all!
