In the previous post I shared how you create Coveo for Sitecore variant docker images. In this post i’ll share some tips when running Coveo for Sitecore in a Container how to configure and persist your trial organization details.
I’ve been developing with Sitecore on Docker for almost a year now… WOW time flies when you are having fun! While the Sitecore Docker image repo is awesome and provides a range of Sitecore variants, you will probably discover the need for additional image variants, depending on your project. As you often require additional modules to be installed as your base Sitecore install, like the Coveo for Sitecore module! Rather than your team having to install this module manually when they docker compose up, it would much quicker and easier they have a variant image they can use with it already installed.

There have been several occasions when I have had to copy a Coveo index from one environment to another. From standing up and lower Test environment or helping onboard a developer setup a local instance. It is also recommended you take regular backups of your CES config files, as you can rebuild the entire index from a restored copy of the config, should your index ever become corrupt.
