Creating a DataStax Enterprise container

Create a DataStax Enterprise (DSE) server container. For a list of the most commonly used options, see Docker run options.

See the docker run command reference for a full list of options to run a command in a new container.

Enabling advanced functionality

By default, the DSE server image is configured as a transactional (database) node. To configure the node with DSE advanced functionality, add the corresponding option that enables the intended feature to the end of the docker run command.

Combine startup options to run more than one feature.

Examples

Setting the DS_LICENSE environment variable signals your acceptance of the DataStax terms of service and is required for the software to start.

docker run -e DS_LICENSE=accept --name my-dse -d datastax/dse-server -g

docker run -e DS_LICENSE=accept --name my-dse -d datastax/dse-server -k

Create a DSE container with Search enabled

docker run -e DS_LICENSE=accept --name my-dse -d datastax/dse-server -s
