Running in docker...

https://github.com/RepoCamp/ucla2019 includes a docker-compose setup based on the one used in Californica, with a few customizations for this workshop.

  1. Install docker:
    • mac: brew cask install docker
    • linux: Use the official instructions to install from Docker's repository (the versions in standard repos can be fairly out of date).
    • windows: ...
  2. Launch docker - varies by OS - you should have a Docker Desktop service running in your status bar once docker is launched.
  3. Give docker more memory
    • mac: [Docker menu] >> Preferences >> Advanced, then [Docker menu] >> Restart
  4. Follow the californica docker setup info here https://github.com/UCLALibrary/californica#getting-started
    git clone https://github.com/RepoCamp/ucla2019.git
    cd ucla2019
    docker-compose run web bundle exec rake db:setup
    docker-compose up
    
  5. Follow the building from scratch info here https://github.com/RepoCamp/ucla2019/wiki/Building-from-Scratch

What is where

You will use different addresses to reach the same service depending on whether you are in the host system, or inside one of your containers. This information can be found in the docker-compose.yml file. For example:

  fcrepo:
    image: nulib/fcrepo4:4.7.5
    ports:
      - "8984:8080"

creates a service called fcrepo based on a docker image that runs fedora on port 8080. Thus, from another container its address is http://fcrepo:8080/. Since the 'ports' section maps it to port 8984, you can reach it from your host system at http://localhost:8984. If you leave out the 'ports' section, the service would be inaccessible from outside docker.
