⚠️ THESE IMAGES ARE NOT PRODUCTION READY The below Docker Compose images/resources were built for development/testing only. Therefore, they may not be fully secured or up-to-date, and should not be used in production.

If you wish to run DSpace on Docker in production, we recommend building your own Docker images. You are welcome to borrow ideas/concepts from the below images in doing so. But, the below images should not be used "as is" in any production scenario.

'Dockerfile' in root directory

This Dockerfile is used to build a development DSpace 7 Angular UI image, published as 'dspace/dspace-angular'

docker build -t dspace/dspace-angular:dspace-7_x .

This image is built automatically after each commit is made to the main branch.

Admins to our DockerHub repo can manually publish with the following command.

docker push dspace/dspace-angular:dspace-7_x

docker directory

docker-compose.yml
- Starts DSpace Angular with Docker Compose from the current branch. This file assumes that a DSpace 7 REST instance will also be started in Docker.
docker-compose-rest.yml
- Runs a published instance of the DSpace 7 REST API - persists data in Docker volumes
docker-compose-ci.yml
- Runs a published instance of the DSpace 7 REST API for CI testing. The database is re-populated from a SQL dump on each startup.
cli.yml
- Docker compose file that provides a DSpace CLI container to work with a running DSpace REST container.
cli.assetstore.yml
- Docker compose file that will download and install data into a DSpace REST assetstore. This script points to a default dataset that will be utilized for CI testing.

To refresh / pull DSpace images from Dockerhub

docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml pull

To build DSpace images using code in your branch

docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build

To start DSpace (REST and Angular) from your branch

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/docker-compose.yml -f docker/docker-compose-rest.yml up -d

Run DSpace REST and DSpace Angular from local branches.

The system will be started in 2 steps. Each step shares the same docker network.

From DSpace/DSpace (build as needed)

docker-compose -p d7 up -d

From DSpace/DSpace-angular

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

Ingest test data from AIPDIR

Create an administrator

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/cli.yml run --rm dspace-cli create-administrator -e test@test.edu -f admin -l user -p admin -c en

Load content from AIP files

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/cli.yml -f ./docker/cli.ingest.yml run --rm dspace-cli

Alternative Ingest - Use Entities dataset

Delete your docker volumes or use a unique project (-p) name

Start DSpace with Database Content from a database dump

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/docker-compose.yml -f docker/docker-compose-rest.yml -f docker/db.entities.yml up -d

Load assetstore content and trigger a re-index of the repository

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/cli.yml -f docker/cli.assetstore.yml run --rm dspace-cli

End to end testing of the rest api (runs in travis).

In this instance, only the REST api runs in Docker using the Entities dataset. Travis will perform CI testing of Angular using Node to drive the tests.

docker-compose -p d7ci -f docker/docker-compose-travis.yml up -d
