Dockerising Yellowfin and using the same image across environments

HI Team ,

We are using single node of Yellowfin 7.4.12 version on CentOS operating system. We have multiple environments like Dev, QA, UAT , Prod.

We are planning to dockerise yellowfin version by building an image and using the same image with config changes to deploy across all environments . ie. single image with change in config and parameters.

As per this link in the community , https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/dockers-and-yellowfin , we started building the image.

Below are the challenges we are facing:

1. Since we already have Yellowfin up and running in all the environments , how to custom build this image to suit all environments. Because if we build the image from scratch we need to specify the hostDB and its credentials to install yellowfin . Since the hostDB and credentials are different in each environment , how to handle this in building the image using the installer.properties file.

if we do full installation , it will wipe out all the data in the DB . Is there any config to stop this?

Our goal is to use a single image and deploy it across environments. Is this achievable?

2. The other files which could changes across environments are web.xml ,server.xml and few parameters in catalina.sh (setting JVM) . So how to accommodate these files while building the appserver folder specific to the environment .

Kindly let us know , how to proceed further

Regards,
