Docker question

Currently I am getting an error saying download docker link does not have a release file.

For which command? What is the exact error message? Copy/paste or screenshot would help here.

I am also not sure how to get from having the docker folder to a running postgres server off my vm as i am going to try and use it in java code through jdbc.

This is totally doable by following the section “Publish ports of all services” as follows, from the musicbrainz-docker folder in a VM shell:

admin/configure add publishing-all-ports
sudo docker-compose up -d

Since it is running from VirtualBox, you also have to set it up to forward the port 5432 for postgres at least from the Linux VM to your Windows host; See networking - How to access server running in VirtualBox from the host? - Super User.

Oh also the error also says updating from repository does not exist.

Same as above: Without the full log, it’s difficult to answer.

I have followed all the steps for the test setup too and docker says its running when i check

You can check that the release sample has been loaded by running the following command from the musicbrainz-docker directory in a VM shell:

sudo docker-compose exec db psql -d musicbrainz_db -U musicbrainz -c 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM release'
