HANA Express Docker on Ubuntu

[gregorw]

Hello SAP HANA Express Team,

I'm running the ABAP Developer Trial which comes with a built-in HANA DB on my Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS without any issues. Today I've tried to run start saplabs/hanaexpress with the following (already adjusted command):

docker run -p 39013:39013 -p 39017:39017 -p 39041-39045:39041-39045 -p 1128-1129:1128-1129 \
-p 59013-59014:59013-59014 \
-v /home/gwolf/projects/hxe:/hana/mounts \
--ulimit nofile=1048576:1048576 \
--sysctl kernel.shmmax=1073741824 \
--sysctl net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range='40000 60999' \
--sysctl kernel.shmall=8388608 \
--name hxe \
saplabs/hanaexpress:latest \
--passwords-url file://hana/mounts/hxe.json \
--agree-to-sap-license

but I got this error:

======== Starting HANA container run script ========

Script parameters: --passwords-url file://hana/mounts/hxe.json --agree-to-sap-license

I found also #4628 describing the same issue. Is there any hope that Ubuntu will be supported? It should not be an issue as the HANA for the ABAP Developer Trial works just fine.

Best Regards
Gregor

With the help of @UweFetzer_se38  discovered that adding:

-h b6557dacdfc6

in front of 

--name hxe

fixes the issue and now the HXE is also running on my Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
