SlamData Community Edition Docker Image

Builds a Docker image for the SlamData NOSQL analytics Tool (Community Edition).

There are three environment variables that can be used to configure the image.

PORT The TCP port that the SlamData server is available on. Defaults to 8080

CONNECTION_NAME The name of the preconfigured SlamData MongoDB connection. Defaults to MongoDB

CONNECTION_URI The MongoDB connection string to be used for the initial connection. Defaults to mongodb://mongodb:27017

This is not an official image.

Run SlamData

docker run -d \
           -e CONNECTION_NAME="my_connection_name" \
           -e CONNECTION_URI="mongodb://user:pass@mongo:27017/admin" \
           -p 0.0.0.0:80:8080 \
           ocasta/slamdata

Run it preserving quasar config data

Preserve quasar configuration and data by mounting the destination dir /root/.config/quasar from your host, data container...

Example:

Create the dir /root/slamdata/ in your host and run the container:

docker run -d \
          -e CONNECTION_NAME="my_connection_name" \
          -e CONNECTION_URI="mongodb://user:pass@mongo:27017/admin" \
          -v /root/slamdata:/root/.config/quasar
          -p 0.0.0.0:80:8080 \
          ocasta/slamdata

Running Slam Advanced Edition

For obvious reasons, this image does not contain the necessary Quasar file to run Slamdata Advanced Edition. However if you have paid for the Advanced edition it is possible to run it with this image.

• First download and unzip the Slamdata Advanced edition installer
• Make sure the quasar.jar file from this to somewhere the docker container will be able to access it
• Create a quasar config file with the OIDC provider configuration as in the Slamdata documentation
• Run the docker container as follows. Assuming the quasar-config.json is in /root/slamdata and Slamdata Advanced was unzipped in /slamdata-advanced the docker command would be:

docker run -d \
          -e ADMIN_GROUP="myAdminGroup" \
          -e ADMIN_USERS="[email protected],[email protected]" \
          -e SD_OPTS="-D..." |
          -v /root/slamdata:/root/.config/quasar |
          -v /slamdata-advanced:/slamdata |
          -p 0.0.0.0:80:8080 \
          ocasta/slamdata run-advanced.sh

where SD_OPTS is the Advanced edition licence parameters detailed in the Slam Documentation.

This will also write the H2 metastore to the /root/slamdata directory thus ensuring its continued existence between container updates.

Quasar REPL

The Quasar REPL jar file is included in the image although not required by Slamdata as it's so darn useful You can fire up REPL in a running container using the same configuration as Slamdata. e.g.

docker exec -it slamdata_container bash -c "java -jar slamdata/quasar-repl-assembly.jar -c /root/.config/quasar/quasar-config.json"
