JFrog Container Registry (JCR) won't load

Question

Environment:

• Macbook Pro: 10.13.6 (17G65) High Sierra
• Docker Desktop: 2.4.0.0
• Docker Engine: 19.03.13
• Browser: Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (x86_64)

I can't get the JFrog Container Registry webapp to run. I followed the instructions on their website here to run a local docker container. When I initially connect to http://127.0.0.1:8081/artifactory , I see a loading animation like this:

Then, it automatically redirects to http://127.0.0.1:8082/ui and gives an error:

"This site can’t be reached. 127.0.0.1 refused to connect."

If I try to go to http://127.0.0.1:8081/artifactory , it just goes back to http://127.0.0.1:8082/ui and fails again. I tried to use incognito and other browsers with the same result

I tried several docker run variants, but the simplest one I tried was:

$docker run --name JCR -d -p 8081:8081 -v /Users/username/git/artifactory/docker-registry:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory  docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-jcr:latest

I checked the docker container and it is running and listening on various ports:

$ netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

UPDATE

This worked when using the below docker run command (new docker image URL)

docker run -d --name artifactory -p 8082:8082 -p 8081:8081 -v /Users/username/git/artifactory/docker-registry:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-jcr:latest

Answer 1

It looks like you followed the instructions for 6.x, which are not valid for 'latest', which is 7.x. You should follow the instructions for Docker for 7.x ( https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Installing+Artifactory#InstallingArtifactory-DockerInstallation ). The only difference is that you will need to change it from pointing to the PRO to JCR.

If you want a super quick and dirty way to just get it up and running, this will do:

docker volume create artifactory-data
docker pull releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-jcr:latest
docker run -d --name artifactory -p 8082:8082 -p 8081:8081 -v artifactory-data:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-jcr:latest

You will then access it at localhost:8082 (or localhost:8081, which will just redirect to 8082).
