Docker Setup for CKAN Core

Prerequisites

• WSL2 if using Windows
• Docker
• docker-compose
• Git
  • You will also need your git configuration to be accessible to your user, located by default at ~/.gitconfig. This will be attached to the Docker container so that the build scripts can pull the repositories.
  • If using WSL2, you will need to have this config set up inside of WSL2 for your WSL2 user.

Pre-Build

1. Make mkdir nginx postgres redis solr ckan
2. Copy cp .env_example .env
3. Change USER_ID in .env to your local uid
4. Change GROUP_ID in .env to your local gid
5. Copy cp registry_example.ini registry.ini
6. Copy cp registry_example.ini registry_test.ini
7. Change ckanext.cloudstorage.container_name in registry.ini and registry_test.ini value to <your user name>-dev
8. Change ckanext.cloudstorage.driver_options in registry.ini and registry_test.ini secret value to the secret key for opencanadastaging
9. Change sqlalchemy.url, ckan.datastore.write_url, ckan.datastore.read_url, ckanext.xloader.jobs_db.uri in registry_test.ini to the test databases(__test)

Build

1. Build the container: docker-compose build
   • The initial build will take a long time.
   • If you are rebuilding and receive errors such as max depth exceeded, you may need to destroy all of the docker images (docker image prune -a) and then run the above build command. Please note that this will also destroy any other docker images you have on your machine.
   • If your build fails with errors regarding failure of resolving domains, restart your docker service (sudo service docker restart).
2. Bring up the app and detach the shell: docker-compose up -d to make sure that all the containers can start correctly.
   • The initial up may take a long time.
   • To stop all the containers: docker-compose down
