How to setup WebSphere Traditional V9 with colima for development on Apple M1 Silicon machine?

140 Views Asked by At

I was given the chance to try a Macbook Pro for development, and I'm currently trying to run a WebSphere Traditional V9 docker image on it with colima.

I'm running the colima/docker-machine with the following command

colima start --cpu 4 --arch x86_64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta

and could successfully pull the ibmcom/websphere-traditional image afterwards.

After connecting my IntelliJ Idea to the running colima/docker-daemon, I can create and start containers of type "WebSphere", but the server doesn't seem to start, and I can not reach the admin console under the specified IP for the container, nor does it write a SystemOut.log into the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/ directory.

Only two messages that I can see are

Configure Logging mode
WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected to any server process. Certain configuration and application operations will be available in local mode.

and that's about it.

I tried manually starting the server with the /bin/startServer.sh script, but obviously that didn't help either.

I guess there seems to be something I'm missing out on.
