Getting EAP Container image
Once that you have a Red Hat account (paid or free subscription), you can also pull EAP Container image from Red Hat Container Catalog.
Before you can actually pull any image from the Catalog, you need to authenticate to registry.redhat.io. If you are using Docker, just perform a ‘docker login’ using your Customer Portal username and password:
$ docker login registry.redhat.io
Username: {REGISTRY-SERVICE-ACCOUNT-USERNAME}
Password: {REGISTRY-SERVICE-ACCOUNT-PASSWORD}
Login Succeeded!
This will allow you to pull the EAP image as follows:
$ docker pull registry.redhat.io/jboss-eap-7/eap74-openjdk17-openshift-rhel8:7.4.11-3.1687184251
Then you can run it with:
$ docker run -it --rm registry.redhat.io/jboss-eap-7/eap74-openjdk17-openshift-rhel8:7.4.11-3.1687184251
