Mounting Files

The Frank!Framework container uses several well-known directories and files. You can mount these to provide your own content.

Directories

Directory	Description
`/opt/frank/configurations`	For configurations. May contain per-configuration directories or a JAR containing those directories. If `Configuration.xml` is not at `<configurationName>/Configuration.xml`, define `configurations.<configurationName>.configurationFile` with the path to `Configuration.xml`. Configurations are loaded automatically by default (`configurations.directory.autoLoad=true`).
`/opt/frank/resources`	For application-wide properties. May contain files or a JAR with all files. Minimum required properties are `instance.name` and `configurations.names`, which can also be set using environment variables.
`/opt/frank/testtool`	Larva tests included in the image.
`/opt/frank/testtool-ext`	Larva tests mounted from the environment.
`/opt/frank/secrets`	Credential storage (`credentials.properties` is read by default). See Secrets.
`/opt/frank/drivers`	Driver JARs. See Drivers.
`/opt/frank/plugins`	Plugin JARs.
`/usr/local/tomcat/logs`	Log directory.

To mount additional directories, add volumes or watch entries to the frankframework service in compose.yaml.

Example with volumes:

services:
  frankframework:
    ...
    volumes:
      - ./resources/:/opt/frank/resources

Example with file watch:

develop:
  watch:
    - action: sync
      path: ./resources
      target: /opt/frank/resources

The image runs Tomcat as tomcat:tomcat (UID=2000, GID=2000). Ensure mounted or copied files are owned appropriately.

File	Description
`/opt/frank/resources/resources.yml`	Mount or copy your `resources.yml`. Use `host.docker.internal` to reach the host for local testing. Changes require restart (for watch mode, use `sync+restart`).
`/usr/local/tomcat/conf/server.xml`	Mount or copy your `server.xml`. Replace as needed to secure your Tomcat setup.
`/usr/local/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties`	Contains default framework values. Do not replace it. Use environment variables or append values instead.
