I'm new to containers and maybe I lack some impostant knowledges.
My goal was to create a jira-core container with my customizations (my plugins, some configuration files etc.) and to use it connected to a MySQL server running on the host, with already stored issues (i.e. already used with a normal jira-core instance).
I succeeded in connecting the customized container (FROM atlassian/jira-core:7.13.2-jdk8) to the server (after some failed attemps) sharing the dbconfig.xml file (through a VOLUME [${JIRA_HOME}]) and modifing the url string in it.
When the jira container started the 1st time in the log there were traces like these:
[...]
JIRA-Bootstrap WARN [o.o.c.entity.jdbc.DatabaseUtil] Entity "Action" has no table in the database
JIRA-Bootstrap ERROR [o.o.c.entity.jdbc.DatabaseUtil] Could not create table "jira_docker01.jiraaction"

Error was: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'cwd_application' already exists
[...]
However the connection was ok and the running container had my all old issues.
My question is: why the installation process tries to create the tables in the DB if in dbconfig.xml I configured an existing one ?
I hope I've been clear enough in writing the question.
Thanks.
