Is there any way to run MobileFirst Platform Foundation Docker (IBM Containers) images on a local Docker instance?

I followed the below steps and created the image of MobileFirst Platform Foundation:

Run IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation on IBM Containers

The above steps push the image to Bluemix and start it. But I'd like to use the image on my docker-machine, especially for trouble shooting (ic/ice commands are limited compared to docker commands, and sometimes I can not access IBM container by ssh).

But the mobilefirst foundation image uses bluemix database service so perhaps we need to some environment variables like VCAP?

If your image uses Bluemix service database, I'm not what you can do. Perhaps you should switch to a local database for the during of the local image run.

Last time this was attempted, the following were the steps taken:

  1. Run docker images to list the available images in the repository and their ID, tag, etc...

  2. To start your image on a local container run: docker run -d -p 9080:9080 -p 9443:9443 <image ID>

  3. To verify that the image is properly configured and the MobileFirst project runtime is available, launch the MobileFirst Console by loading the following URL: http://192.168.59.103:9080/worklightconsole

Again, these commands may differ. Hopefully it'll work in your case.
