Terminal
This page walks through some of the features of the OpenDXL Environment Console's Terminal.
The terminal allows access to a bash shell for the purpose of executing commands and managing files within the OpenDXL environment.
The directory /opendxl maps to the VOLUME location that was specified when the container was created (see Configure Volume for more details).
The following table details how to perform copy and paste operations in the terminal:
| Operating System | Copy | Paste |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | CTRL+INSERT |
SHIFT+INSERT |
| Mac | COMMAND+C |
COMMAND+V |
The OpenDXL Environment defines the explicit host name dockerhost (in /etc/hosts) that resolves to the host that is running the OpenDXL Environment container.
This is especially useful for accessing other container's ports on the same host. For example, this host name could be used to resolve to the management port exposed by an OpenDXL Broker container. A common use case for this would be configuration provisioning of an OpenDXL Client (See this example for more information).
