Docker version of Atlas of Living Australia

This is currently Work In Progress! Beware!

Usage

You need git, make, docker(v 17.04.0-ce was used) and docker-compose (v 1.11.2 was used).

Clone the repo with

git clone --depth=1 $REPO_SLUG

Build and start services with

make  # build images and start containers

Other commands include make test # verify that services run make release # push a tagged images to Docker Hub

Considerations

Note that building the system from scratch (with make, make all will run which starts with make init to get files then make build to build images locally and then make up to start services) is a lengthy step that takes some time to complete, especially if on a slow Internet connection.

On a laptop with poor Internet connection, expect the initial sources dl step to take at least 20 minutes and the build step to take another 20 minutes. Approx 10-15 images will be built, most around a couple of hundred MB large b are larger - the nameindex and the biocache backend. All can be docker images | grep ala.

The steps that downloads sources and build images locally can be skipped and recent binaries can instead be pulled directly from Docker Hub, using make up which relies on docker-compose.yml using appropriate image tags and versions.
