Installation on Windows Server Core (docker image)

Hi everybody!

I’m trying to install Axigen Server inside Microsoft’s Server Core docker image (Microsoft Artifact Registry).

I’m doing an installation without GUI (msiexec /qn /i Axigen_x64-10.5.1.msi) and everything seems to work but, when the installer tries to add the firewall exceptions it breaks because there is no firewall at all.

Does anybody know how to bypass the firewall exception phase?

The full log of the installation can be found here: Log

Thanks.

PS. Excuse my english. It’s not my main language

Hello,

IMHO you are on a wrong path: for a docker installation type you have to use the axigen docker image (which is based on Ubuntu).

Your installation method (using the Windows dedicated installer) is supported only on a Windows VM (or on a " baremetal") and not when using a container based one.

HTH,

The problem is that Windows Containers (on Windows Server) only accept containers running Windows, not Linux.

I mean, the installation does everything correct, but because there is no firewall, it breaks when trying to add the exceptions to it, so the installer thinks it was an error and rollbacks everything (even though if I’m lucky and stop the installer just before that, I think it should work)
