Activiti 6 UI in docker not working

[sas]

Hi,
I have just installed the new activiti-app.war in a docker based tomcat:latest container. Not the activiti-rest.war as I think that is not needed when I am using the gui since the engine seems to be packed with the activiti-app also…
Based on one of the forum msg I have modified the log4j properties, so managed to get it up running. (fix filename was defined)
Now I am at the GUI (http://localhost:8080/activiti-app/index.html#/) but nothing happens when I click on any of the app.
No error in the logfiles, no http error in the response
Anythin I may do wrong?
Thanx for the help

Hi,
This was a combination of two or three problem:
- browser -> for some reason I had to close all windows and start again. Maybe some cookie was still there from my many tries ?
- also had an open connection to an older activiti container on the same laptop from  the same browser (I am not sure it that had any effect)
- later the mysql docker container start command was wrong. I used the 'activiti' db name at startup instead of 'activiti6ui' (also had to clean up the data-only container)
So now I have two separate container. One for the database one for the UI.
For next I am thinking to separate the UI (Angular.js part) from the engine (or rest api)

Now it is running nicely .

I want to separate the UI from the engine as well. Are you still looking to do this?
