  • ${HTTPS_PORT}

Running a PingAccess container

To run a PingAccess container:

  docker run \
           --name pingaccess \
           --publish 9000:9000 \
           --publish 443:1443 \
           --detach \
           --env SERVER_PROFILE_URL=https://github.com/pingidentity/pingidentity-server-profiles.git \
           --env SERVER_PROFILE_PATH=getting-started/pingaccess \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_ACCEPT_EULA=YES \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_USER \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_KEY \
           --tmpfs /run/secrets \
           pingidentity/pingaccess:edge

Follow Docker logs with:

docker logs -f pingaccess

If using the command above with the embedded server profile, log in with:
