Running HOOPS Communicator Converter command in Docker error

HOOPS Communicator
1

Hi there,
I am trying to convert sample .asm file to .scs and .png using communicator-converter in docker (sources: Bitbucket, and the documentation).

The docker image is successfully built on EC2 instance, but I am getting error while running the docker image.
I have attached the error below.

I have found the same issue in the techsoft3d forum, but the provided solution is not working for me.
As I have all the required libraries in the bin/linux_x64 folder.

Command run:

docker run \
    --rm \
    --mount type=bind,source=./inputfiles/Moto,target=/opt/ts3d/cadfiles \
    --mount type=bind,source=./outputfiles,target=/opt/ts3d/output \
    techsoft3d/communicator-converter \
        --input /opt/ts3d/cadfiles/_MOTO_X.asm \
        --output_sc /opt/ts3d/output/moto.scs \
        --output_png /opt/ts3d/output/moto.png \
        --license 'MY_COMMUNICATOR_LICENSE_HERE'

Console output error:

Thanks in advance.

Hello @alex,

First off, welcome to the Forum!

Please review this post:

The error that you are getting ERROR 0: Failed to load the Exchange SDK is likely to due a missing library. The aforementioned link above includes downloading a Dockerfile (contained in a zip) which sets up the library path.

Thanks,
Tino
