Gorilla REPL

A docker image to run gorilla repl.

Running

To run, run the following:

docker run -d
           -v ~/workspaces/:/usr/src/app/ws/
           -p 3000:3000
           -p 7000:7000
           --rm
           --name gorilla-repl
           akeboshiwind/gorilla-repl

This will:

• Start the gorilla repl at http://localhost:3000/worksheet.html
• Start an nREPL at localhost:7000
• Create a ws/ folder in the container that saves worspaces to ~/workspaces/ on your host
  • Remember to save your worksheets in the ws/ directory.

Running with boot

Just swap out akeboshiwind/gorilla-repl with akeboshiwind/gorilla-repl:boot.

Docker Compose

Here's how I run it using docker-compose:

version: '3.5'

services:
  gorilla-repl:
    image: akeboshiwind/gorilla-repl:boot
    container_name: gorilla-repl
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    volumes:
      - ./ws/:/usr/src/app/ws/
      - ./data/:/usr/src/app/data/

Loading dependancies at runtime

Sometimes you'll want to add a dependancy to a notebook, to allow this without restarting the whole docker container I've included cemerick.pomegranate as a dependancy. It can be imported like below:

(use '[cemerick.pomegranate :only (add-dependencies)])

And new dependancies can be loaded like below:

(add-dependencies :coordinates '[[clj-http "3.9.1"]]
                  :repositories (merge cemerick.pomegranate.aether/maven-central
                                       {"clojars" "https://clojars.org/repo"}))

The :repositories key is to allow loading from clojars, it needs to be included each time.

You can then require the dependancy like normal:

(require '[clj-http.client :as client])

Here's a quick function that ties it all together:

(defn add-deps
  [deps-list]
  (cemerick.pomegranate/add-dependencies
    :coordinates deps-list
    :repositories (merge cemerick.pomegranate.aether/maven-central
                         {"clojars" "https://clojars.org/repo"})))
