Hello ,

I am trying to run an instance of splunk on docker-composite.
Everything seems working , But I need to run splunk command to add a user, I don't know how to do it via docker-composer.

  • So my problem is "How to configure docker-compose to
    run "?

    splunk add user test -role Admin -password testpassword -full-name "TEST"

  • My Config docker-compose :

version: "2"

services:
splunk:
#build: .
hostname: splunk
image: splunk/splunk:7.2
environment:
SPLUNK_START_ARGS: --accept-license --answer-yes
SPLUNK_ENABLE_LISTEN: 9997
SPLUNK_ADD: tcp 1514
SPLUNK_PASSWORD: "test12345"
volumes:
- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ports:
- "8000:8000"
- "9997:9997"
- "8088:8088"
- "1514:1514"

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !!!

All you need to do is connect to the console:

docker exec -it <image_id> /bin/bash

Alternatively, you can pass in the full command you want to run with the same syntax:

docker exec -it <image_id> /opt/splunk/bin/splunk <your_command_here>
