Usage

Docker Compose

Docker compose is the recommended way to run this image. Copy the content of folder examples/compose in /var/jls/ on your host for example. Edit the compose and env files with your preferences and run the following commands:

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

Command line

You can also use the following minimal command:

$ docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name jetbrains_license_server \
  -e TZ="Europe/Paris" \
  -e JLS_VIRTUAL_HOSTS=jls.example.com \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
  crazymax/jetbrains-license-server:latest

Upgrade

Recreate the container whenever I push an update:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Notes

If you have any trouble using the license server, check the official Troubleshooting page of Jetbrains.

Error 403 Passed value of header "Host" is not allowed

If you've got the following message :

Passed value of header "Host" is not allowed. Please contact your license server administrator.

That's because the license server is running behind a reverse proxy. Please configure virtual hosts using the JLS_VIRTUAL_HOSTS variable.
