Maybe someone has an idea what's wrong with my simple Dockerfile, I'm getting the exception "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: localhost/127.0.0.1:8080" when I want to run it via `docker run -t -i -p 9443:9443 sirixdb/sirix`. Any help is greatly appreciated :-) The Dockerfile used: https://github.com/sirixdb/sirix/blob/master/bundles/sirix-r...
In Show HN: SirixDB – Storing and Querying of Temporal Data (Java and Open Source)
