This work-in-progress repository allows you to run the Uwazi using Docker containers. It can be a good alternative if you are testing the software and have no proficiency with the entire stack of applications involved.
The Uwazi software is available in the github.com/huridocs/uwazi repository.
In Swahili, Uwazi means “openness.” HURIDOCS designed Uwazi to make human rights information more open and accessible to the defenders who need it. Uwazi is a web-based platform that goes beyond just storing and tagging documents. Users work directly with the text inside these otherwise uneditable documents to add new layers of information. Uwazi is a web-based, open-source solution for building and sharing document collections.
See also History of Uwazi.
The uwazi-docker requires docker-compose installed. See requirements. If you are a developer, can also check some advanced information on development-instructions.md and a draft of production-instructions.md.
Run these commands on your terminal only the first time:
git clone https://github.com/fititnt/uwazi-docker.git
cd uwazi-docker
docker-compose run -e IS_FIRST_RUN=true --rm uwazi # Install/Re-install from empty data
docker-compose up -d uwazi # Run uwazi on background (automatic restart on reboot unless stopped)Open your browser at http://localhost:3000/. Initial user: admin, password: admin.
# Stop all containers from this uwazi-docker and do not restart again until you explicit ask for it
docker-compose stop
# Using "-d" param to run uwazi and its dependencies on background
docker-compose up -d uwazi
# No "-d" param, start uwazi, MongoDB & Elastic Search and see what is happening inside the containers
docker-compose up uwazi
# See what containers are running now
docker ps
# See all docker volumes
docker volume ls
# See docker volumes that stores data from uwazi-docker (hint: these ones to backup & restore)
docker volume ls | grep 'mongodb_data1\|uploaded_documents'
# Want some GUI to see what is happening on MongoDB? Use nosqlclient
docker-compose up -d mongo-gui-mongoclient
# Want some GUI to see what is happening on Elastic Search? Try Dejavu
docker-compose up -d elasticsearch-gui-dejavudocker-compose up -d mongo-gui-mongoclientBy default, uses http://localhost:51000/.
docker-compose up -d elasticsearch-gui-dejavuBy default, uses http://localhost:52000/.
