Requirements

You must have docker-compose installed to run this project.

Running

Execute ./scripts/restart from the root directory of the project. This will start all of the necessary components for the distributed system.

You can connect to Adminer on localhost:80, access the webserver on localhost:8000, and manually send POST requests to the transaction server using localhost:4000.

Notes

• You must run the restart script to properly shut down the containers between runs. If you do not, next time the containers start up they may be the same instances, and the system will not be in a clean state.
• If you want to watch a specific container's log files, use sudo docker-compose logs -f <container name from docker-compose.yml>.
• If you want to open a shell in a specific container, use sudo docker-compose -exec <container name from docker-compose.yml> /bin/sh.
• All commands that start with docker-compose must be run from the root directory of the project, or the docker-compose.yml file will not be accessible.

Providing Workloads (Linux/MacOS)

To provide a workload to the transaction server, we need to connect to the workload-generator container. There is a script named run in the root directory of the project that can be used as a shortcut for this process.

Execute ./scripts/run workloads/<name here> to pump commands through the system.

If the specified workload contains a DUMPLOG command, it will be have been created in ./logging-server/out.
