FME Remote Engine Services - How to build Docker Image and Container?

​
Hey!

I’m faced with the challenge of deploying FME Remote Engine Services (RES) in a hybride cloud scenario. In this scenario, Windows/Linux VMs are not an option and I came up with the idea of packaging RES in a Ubuntu-based Docker Image for a containerized deployment.

My approach is to use silent install with a cfg-file like officially supported for FME Flow installation on a Ubuntu base image. However, I’m adapting it for the Remote Engine Services, which are shipped as a *.run file.

Unfortunately, there is no official documentation/support for the Docker part and I had to build my custom image. However, I was wondering if anyone out there has tried something like this?

Why is this not officially supported by @safe @safesoftware (yet)? Seems like a low hanging fruit - for FME Flow dockerfile is provided officially and it is much more complex…
