Docker Image for the base CKAN build for all CKAN related images

Build for CKAN 2.10

To run, please have docker and docker-compose installed and run the following in this order:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ioos/catalog-docker-base.git
cd compose_build/
cp .env.template .env

• Edit .env to the desired configuration for your server (TODO: Add loops to check if the DB is initialized so we don't have to go through this) To initialize the database tables, run

docker-compose up -d solr db redis
docker-compose up -d ckan datapusher
docker-compose up -d pycsw ckan_fetch_harvester ckan_gather_harvester

The CKAN application runs on port 5000 by default. PyCSW runs on port 8000 by default on the /csw endpoint. Once the database has been successfully been initialized, you will probably be able to start the applications just by using docker-compose up -d in subsequent invocations.

Create a superuser

Run docker exec -it ckan ckan -c /etc/ckan/production.ini sysadmin add <username> to add a superuser to CKAN.

Optional: Load harvester config

Run docker exec ckan ckan -c /etc/ckan/production.ini user token add <username> <token_name>, using the user name from the previous step in "Create a superuser". Copy the generated token value in the terminal and then run docker exec ckan bash /opt/fixture_data/set_harvests.bash <token_value> using the previously copied token value in order to load up the default IOOS harvests. The token value must correspond to a user with sufficient privileges to create groups/organizations, hence why a superuser token is supplied in this example.

Lastly, run crontab -e and add the following line to ensure the harvester is periodically run:

*/2 * * * * docker exec ckan ckan -c /etc/ckan/production.ini harvester run
