This repository contains the necessary artifacts for instantiating SAVIME as a docker container. The first step you need to take is building a docker image for SAVIME, which requires you have already installed the docker suite. If you have not done that yet, please follow the instructions posted on the docker install page. However, if your operating system is Ubuntu, you'd better follow this Digital Ocean tutorial which is easier and more comprehensive than the one posted on the docker site.
To build the docker image, run the build.sh script in this directory. It will build an image named savime
based on this docker file. If this process ran accordingly, you should be able to see the recently built image listed in the docker image
command results.
The second step is image instantiation, i.e., launch a container. To alleviate the configuration burden, you should resort to the run.sh script. But first, take a look at envs.sh as you may want to configure the environment variables displayed in this file:
- MAX_THREADS: The maximum number of threads SAVIME should use.
- HOST_SAVIME_PORT: The port where SAVIME is to listen in the host.
- HOST_SAVIME_DIR: The SAVIME shm storage dir (host).
Finally, run ./run.sh start
to start a container named savime_container
and ./run.sh stop
to stop it.
To assure that the container is running accordingly:
- Check whether there exists a file named
savime_socket
in the/tmp
dir. Your user must be the owner of this file and have read/write/run permissions over it. - Check also whether your user is the owner of the directory
$HOST_SAVIME_DIR
and have read/write/run permissions over it. - Run the savime client (
savimec
).
Ps.: To avoid permission problems, the building procedure assigns the host user and group --- which ran the script build.sh
--- to the savime
image by resorting to the Linux command id
