Start the bot with password prompt (no AWS service)

The following Docker command starts the data retention bot. Password is entered when prompted by the data retention bot. It will start using the default file streaming using the default values defined in the Environment variables to configure data retention bot in AWS Wickr section of this guide.

docker run -v /opt/compliance_1234567890_bot:/tmp/compliance_1234567890_bot \
-d --restart on-failure:5 --name="compliance_1234567890_bot" -ti \
-e WICKRIO_BOT_NAME='compliance_1234567890_bot' \
wickr/bot-compliance-cloud:latest

docker attach compliance_1234567890_bot
.
.
.
Enter the password:************
Re-enter the password:************

Run the bot using the -ti option to receive the password prompt. You should also run the docker attach <container ID or container name> command immediately after starting the docker image so that you get the password prompt. You should run both of these commands in a script. If you attach to the docker image and don’t see the prompt, press Enter and you will see the prompt.
