Entrypoint.sh not respecting JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

[daya]

Hi I m trying to start Mirth with JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS='-XX:MinRAMPercentage=50.0 -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=90.0' but if I do so then I am getting these errors

No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.8.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.

My guess is JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and VMOPTIONS are mutually exclusive, but I am not a Java expert. For sure I don't want to be limited by Xmx setting limitations in multiples of 1024 hence trying -XX:MaxRAMPercentage

How are you setting these JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS? Are you adding them to the VMOPTIONS environment variable?

[daya]

Are you adding them to the VMOPTIONS environment variable?

No I am not. All my environment variables are defined in .env file which is read by Docker

But if set it up without single quotes i.e. JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-XX:MinRAMPercentage=50.0 -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=90.0

then Mirth starts properly, perhaps it's ignoring JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS settings 😮 🙅

I've tested this using a Docker Compose file and a .env file, and it seems to be picking up the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS settings. This appears in the logs as Mirth Connect starts up:

These are the contents of the .yaml file and .env files:
connect.yaml

version: "3.1"
services:
  mc:
    image: nextgenhealthcare/connect
    env_file:
      - connect.env
    ports:
      - 8080:8080/tcp

      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mirthdb
      - POSTGRES_DB=mirthdb
    expose:

connect.env

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-XX:MinRAMPercentage=50.0 -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=90.0"

Then I used docker-compose -f connect.yaml up to start the containers.

@pladesma I hope it's not the single quote problem since it works for you with double quotes. I will try with double quotes and see, but the error does seem weird when using single quotes
