Docker is a appropriate way to ship entire environments. DockerWissKI consists of multiple services (Drupal, MariadB, GraphDB or BlazeGraph and SOLR), which are orchestrated by docker-compose.
Prerequisites
You have to install docker (comes with docker compose). Consider to perform post installation steps to make life easier.
Change to a preferred directory, i. e. ~/ for Linux/MacOS users (that's your home directory) or your user directory in Windows.
Clone the repository with
git clone git@github.com:rnsrk/dockerWissKI.git
or download the zip file by clicking on Code and Download ZIP in the dockerWissKI repository (unzip it, after the download finished).
We use GraphDB as the triple store, get the GraphDB standalone server zip file (no installer like DEB or EXE). Apply on the GraphDB free download page, they will send you an email with a link to the stand alone server; safe the file as graphdb.zip
in the graphdb_context folder.
Installation
Linux
Install Docker. You may want to manage Docker as a non-root user as a post-installation step.
Windows/ MacOS
Install Docker Desktop. You may need to install the WSL 2 Linux kernel, if you are using Windows.
Beware if you are using Virtualization software like VirtualBox, they may conflict with your Docker-Software in Windows.
Setup
Script-driven (only Linux)
Open a terminal and navigate to dockerWissKI root (the one where cloned the repo, i. e. ~/dockerWissKI). Run
./setup.bash
to set your database credentials and port definitions.
Manual installation in Windows, MacOS and Linux
In the dockerWissKI root directory, there is .example-env file. Open it and provide the credentials and ports according to your needs and save it as .env.
Do not change DB_DRIVER and DB_HOST, we only support MariaDB at this point.
DB_ADMINISTRATION_PORT=8081
DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_HOST=mariadb
DB_NAME=DATABASE
DB_PASSWORD=USERPW
DB_PORT=3306
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=ROOTPW
DB_USER=DBUSER
DRUPAL_PORT=80
GRAPHDB_PORT=7200
SOLR_PORT=8983
Start
Run
docker compose up -d
to start containers in the background (remove -d to see what is going on if something fails).
Stop
Run
docker-compose down
to stop the containers.
Rebuild
If you change environment variables you have to rebuild the docker image!
docker-compose build
Restart the compose environment again with
docker compose up -d
Docker compose environment
Services
There are five services corresponding to four containers
- drupal/ dockerwisski_drupal_1
- mariadb/ dockerwisski_mariadb_1
- graphdb/ dockerwisski_graphdb_1
- phpmyadmin/ dockerwisski_phpmyadmin_1
- solr/ dockerwisski_solr_1
To browse your services enter your domain and the port of the service (i.e. localhost:7200
if you installed it on your local machine and left the default graphdb port).
To connect to your services over the internal docker network, you have to provide the service name (drupal, mariadb, solr, graphdb) as host instead of localhost
or 172.168.0.1
. For example the correct setting in the settings.php for host is not 'host' => 'localhost'
, but 'host' => 'mariadb'
.
Editing
If you want to jump into a container, open a console and type docker -it <container id> bash
for example
docker exec -it dockerwisski_drupal_1 bash
gets you into the drupal container.
Volumes
All containers have three bind volumes:
- volumes/drupal-data stores your drupal web directory
- volumes/mariadb-data corresponds to /var/lib/mysql
- volumes/solr-data to SORL root dir
and one docker volume:
- graphdb-data to Graphfb root dir
You find these bind volumes in your git directory and the docker managed under /var/lib/docker/volumes/<composer-prefix>_<volume name>/_data
(Linux - you have to be root to access) or at the location shown in your Docker Desktop settings (Premium Feature). Please check the right permissions, if you copy or alter files and folders.
RUN the Drupal Installer
This step is identical to the chapter in the default server setup.
Establish the connection to the triplestore
You can use RDF4J, Blazegraph or GraphDB (which is a good starting point).
