I'm wondering if it is possible to get mqsicreatebar working in a docker container?
I know mqsicreatebar required IIB Toolkit to be installed, but since this is a command line tool I'm wondering if there are ways to migrate this into a docker container?
cheers. |

Yes - install the toolkit. The mqsicreatebar command doesn't require the IIB Toolkit, it's part of the Toolkit. It's the same process as clicking "Build and Save" from the GUI - literally. It starts a headless Eclipse and runs the process.

Ok makes sense. But if I have a headless Linux installation, I cannot install the Toolkit/Eclipse. |

How would you install anything to a headless Linux installation? Why can't you install Toolkit in the same way?
I'm not by any means an expert in Linux or Docker, but if the desired outcome is to issue an mqsicreatebar command in this Linux then you clearly have the capability to run things. So why not the Toolkit install?

On Ubuntu you would do a sudo apt-get install <package-name>
Basically I would like to execute mqsicreatebar command without requiring a GUI (e.g. Gnome or KDE interface) to install the toolkit. |

| Silent mode looks promising. I'll try that out! |
