VIVO is an open source semantic web tool for research discovery -- finding people and the research they do.

VIVO supports editing, searching, browsing and visualizing research activity in order to discover people, programs, facilities, funding, scholarly works and events. VIVO's search returns results faceted by type for rapid retrieval of desired information across disciplines.

  • SOLR_RESET_CORE: Convenience to reset VIVO Solr core when starting container. Caution, will require complete reindex.

  • SOLR_VERBOSE: Increase log verbosity.

  • SOLR_HOST_PORT: Host port binding for solr service port mapping.

  • SOLR_CONTAINER_PORT: Container port binding for solr service port mapping.

  • SOLR_CORES: Solr cores data directories on your host machine which will mount to volume in docker container. Set this environment variable to persist your Solr data on your host machine.

  • VIVO_RESET_HOME: Convenience to reset VIVO home when starting container. Caution, will delete local configuration, content, and configuration model.

  • VIVO_VERBOSE: Increase log verbosity.

  • VIVO_TDB_FILE_MODE: TDB file mode. See https://jena.apache.org/documentation/tdb/configuration.html#file-access-mode.

  • VIVO_HOST_VIVO_HOME: VIVO home directory on your host machine which will mount to volume in docker container. Set this environment variable to persist your VIVO data on your host machine.

  • VIVO_CONTAINER_VIVO_HOME: VIVO home directory within the container.

  • VIVO_CONTAINER_PORT: Container port binding for VIVO Tomcat service port mapping.

Before building VIVO, you will also need to clone (and switch to the same branch, if other than main) of Vitro. The Vitro project must be cloned to a sibling directory next to VIVO so that it can be found during the build.

Build and start VIVO.

  1. In VIVO (with Vitro cloned alongside it), run:
mvn clean package -s installer/example-settings.xml
docker-compose up

Docker Image

To build and run local Docker image.

docker build -t vivoweb/vivo:development .
docker run -p 8080:8080 vivoweb/vivo:development
