Can't open jaeger UI

[ansysqihong]

I'm new to docker/jaeger/go. I followed the instruction carefully https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/getting-started/. On my Windows & machine, I installed docker toolbox(not the standard docker which requires Windows 10). Then I started Jaeger all-in-one in docker by the command

$ docker run -d --name jaeger \
  -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
  -p 5775:5775/udp \
  -p 6831:6831/udp \
  -p 6832:6832/udp \
  -p 5778:5778 \
  -p 16686:16686 \
  -p 14268:14268 \
  -p 9411:9411 \
  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

The jaeger container was up. But when I used netstat -a to check the tcp and udp ports specified by the command line, I found those ports were not under listening. 

So there was no way to open the UI by navigating http://localhost:16686. I have no idea what's going on. I guess go might not be a part of docker toolbox, so I should install it first?

Any help are appreciated!

I am not familiar with "docker toolbox", so don't have any advice on that, but if you don't have a standard Docker installation, you can try using the plain executables from https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/releases

Thanks for the response. Is there any documentation about these plain executables? eg. What's jaeger-standalone.exe for? What's the flags that must be passed to the jaeger-collector? Right now I can start the standalone but was failed to start collector without any flags.

Standalone is the same as all-in-one (I opened a ticket to rename https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/issues/932).

Command line flags for binaries are the same as for Docker images.  Collector by default tries to connect to Cassandra on the local host.

Thanks for the explanation.  I think I should let my collector use in memory storage at this moment and hopefully the standalone will be renamed to all-in-one in the future. Anyway, I started the standalone, it worked. 

At least I can open UI in the browser now.
