Docker image and hop-server

[dsanderbi]

I pulled the Docker image of Apache Hop 2.11 and started the container with:

docker run -d --name test-hop apache/hop:2.11.0

When starting the container, I see the following in the logs:

2025-02-09 16:05:29 2025/02/09 15:05:29 - Running the entrypoint script with PID 7
2025-02-09 16:05:29 2025/02/09 15:05:29 - Not creating a project or environment in the container
2025-02-09 16:05:29 2025/02/09 15:05:29 - Writing a hop-server config file to /tmp/hop-server.xml
2025-02-09 16:05:29 2025/02/09 15:05:29 - Starting a hop-server on port 8080
2025-02-09 16:05:34 2025/02/09 15:05:34 - HopServer - Enabling project 'default'
2025-02-09 16:05:34 2025/02/09 15:05:34 - HopServer - Installing timer to purge stale objects after 1440 minutes.
2025-02-09 16:05:34 2025/02/09 15:05:34 - HopServer - Created listener for webserver @ address : 0.0.0.0:8080

My question is:

Is it intended that the Hop server starts automatically inside the container by using a server xml that is in /tmp?

You can find the start script here when no pipeline or workflow file is specified it will start the server. As you have specified none of the variables it will be the default configuration.
