You can download a ready-to-use License Server container image from Docker Hub:Parasoft has published an official Docker image to Docker Hub for your convenience. Full installation instructions are included in the readme. See https://hub.docker.com/r/parasoft/lss.
To deploy License Server in Docker, follow the process outlined below.
First, you need to create a docker volume called "parasoft-volume" as shown below.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
docker volume create parasoft-volume |
Then start License Server. Please note the following:
...
- The container must be created and started with the root user.
- The docker socket must be mounted.
- The docker volume "parasoft-volume" created previously must be mounted.
...
...
- Mount persistent volume at LSS_DATA_DIR.
You can inject the LSS_JAVA_OPTS environment variable into the LSS docker container. For example:

Configuring Tomcat Settings, Keystore, and Truststore
If you need to configure Tomcat settings, keystore, and truststore, there are many ways to do so. Because these files are persisted in the container and not in a mounted persistent storage, configuration changes will not be automatically applied when you start a new container. Below are a couple ways you can ensure configuration changes are applied to new containers.
The easiest way to configure ports and keystores is to use a reverse proxy. This eliminates the need to make changes to the default Tomcat settings and keystore in the container.
In lieu of using a reverse proxy, you can save the configuration files to a persistent storage and mount them when starting the container. First, note the locations of these files in the docker container:
- server.xml - /usr/local/parasoft/license-server/app/tomcat/conf/server.xml
- keystore - /usr/local/parasoft/license-server/app/tomcat/conf/.keystore
- truststore - /usr/local/parasoft/license-server/app/jre/lib/security/cacerts
Then, save these files to your persistent storage and mount them when starting the container by adding the following arguments:
...
...
.
...
-v /<persistent_storage>/server.xml:/usr/local/parasoft/license-server/app/tomcat/conf/server.xml
