This repo was originally forked from https://github.com/ckan/ckan and has undergone significant modification to make it docker compatible. It now more closely resembles https://github.com/ckan/ckan-docker and has a similer intention, that of providing an easy ckan install encapsulated in docker containers.

This repo builds a cioos ckan docker container along with associated solr, postgres, redis containers. It differs from other ckan docker builds such as https://github.com/ckan/ckan-docker-base in that it does not user supervisor to run the harvesters. instead 3 containers are spun up, ckan_gather_harvester, ckan_fetch_harvester, and ckan_run_harvester. In this way the harvesters are independent of the ckan main app.

Detailed documentation can be found in /docs. Release notes for cioos ckan version can be found in /contrib/docker/release_notes

CKAN docker images built in this repo are based on the ckan/ckan-base:2.9 docker image. The CKAN extensions are included in this repo as submodules and can be found at /contrib/docker/src.

The Redis, Postgres, and Solr containers use prebuilt images. Some configuration of the Solr container is required however. Solr schema config can be found in /ckan/config/solr. The CKAN, Solr and Postgres images are built by github actions and pushed to docker hub. Postgres init scripts are found in /contrib/docker/postgres/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. See the docker-compose.yml in /contrib/docker/ for more infomation.

Building of produciton and dev images can be done in various ways

cd ~/ckan/contrib/docker/
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build ckan

To build images from github actions we first start a pull request to cioos or cioos-dev branches. Once the PR is approved and merged, a new dev or production image will be built by the github actions. The images will be pushed to docker hub and available for download at https://hub.docker.com/orgs/cioos/repositories

If updating a submodule simple make changes to the sub repo and generate a PR or push changes as per the usual development workflow for that repo. Once changes are pushed to GitHub you can update the submodule in this repo and push changes. Any push to the 'cioos' or 'cioos-dev' branches will generate a new image

A new image build will automatically use the latest ckan 2.9 base image so to update to a newer base image minor version you simple need to rebuild the image

If updating to a newer major version you will need to modify the Dockerfile to use a new major version and do significant testing.

Clone this github repo to your server

git clone https://github.com/cioos-siooc/ckan.git

Generate enviroemnt file

cd ckan/contrib/docker
cp .env.template .env
nano .env

Pull CKAN, solr, redis, and postgres images

sudo docker-compose pull

Start containers

sudo docker-compose up -d

Depending on your setup you will likely want to proxy the containers behind nginx or apache. More details regarding install, upgrading, debugging can be found in the /docs folder
