jdelaros1/openmanage repository overview

⁠Dell OpenManage

Dockerized OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), built on top of official CentOS⁠ images.

⁠Configuration

• container has to run in privilged mode so that the host hardware can be exposed to it.
• specifying --net=host exposes the host's network interfaces to the container, otherwise they will not be available.
• default command: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh restart so that services can start cleanly in case container is stopped and then restarted.
• login credentials: root / password

⁠Where this image has been tested (some more than others)

• RHEL 7
• SLES 12
• CentOS 7
• Ubuntu Server 12.04 & 14.04
• Debian 7 / 8

⁠Run example

$ docker run --privileged -d -p 1311:1311 --restart=always \
    --net=host -v /lib/modules/`uname -r`:/lib/modules/`uname -r` \
    --name=omsa82 jdelaros1/openmanage

Testing without volume mounting /lib/modules resulted in mixed results across different servers, so I added this requirement back.

Once the container starts, give it about 20-25 seconds for all the OpenManage services to start inside the container.

⁠Usage examples

You can monitor your server by going to https://your-server:1311⁠. Use the login credentials given above. You can also run commands from a command console:
