Common questions

Which ports does the idrac6 container expose?

Publish port 5800 for the web interface and port 5900 for direct VNC access. The compose example maps both ports.

What iDRAC connection details are required in the container?

Set IDRAC_HOST, IDRAC_USER, and IDRAC_PASSWORD. The container always uses HTTPS, and IDRAC_PORT is optional with 443 as the default.

Why is the first start slow and how can I cache the Java libraries?

The container downloads Java libraries from the iDRAC instance during startup. Mount a volume at /app to cache those files for faster future starts.

What should I do if keyboard input is unreliable?

Set IDRAC_KEYCODE_HACK to true to address keyboard input problems. This option is not required for every iDRAC installation.

Can a single container manage multiple iDRAC servers?

No, one instance can only access one iDRAC server. Run separate containers for additional servers.
