Hi Aldrin, Thanks for your response! I understood that there is some work under way considering this path. In the mean time, Could you please help me with NiFi APIs/Commands to export xml templates from one instance and import them to second instance . I can add them to my docker file so as to store exported templates at default location which is different from /opt/nifi/conf/templates. ... View more

@Aldrin Piri Thanks for your comment! i got your point to put these templates under host templates dir and mount that as docker volume. But i would need to create new instances on different hosts. That mean i will have to copy/paste templates to all hosts. Instead it would be better to keep templates within docker image and add them to /opt/nifi/conf/templates during image build. Can you please help to suggest me in this direction. 1. new docker instance should have some previously created templates. Say abc.xml 2. create new templates in nifi instance say xyz.xml (dont know the default storage location of newly created template.) 3. docker stop nifi 4. docker start nifi (Should come up with abc.xml & xyz.xml templates.) ...

Rerunning docker from image will delete my newly created templates. docker run -d --name nifi -p 7777-7778:7777-7778 nifia Am i following the right approach? I have attached my Dockerfile and run.py in above post. Please have a quick look and suggest to proceed further. ... View more

Hi Sunile, Thanks for sharing the docker file. I have created my own docker file and running it on openstack VM following same docker run concept. docker run -it --rm -p 8080-8081:8080-8081 sunileman/nifi1.1.0 It takes 7 minutes to open nifi GUI. Unable to understand why initialization takes so long ? Once docker container is started. I am doing docker stop nifi. it stops the container. Now docker start nifi start the container as i can check using docker ps. but i could not launch my nifi GUI and container vanishes after 7 minutes.
