IMPORTANT! This repository is in development, use at your own risk!

ObjectDB is a powerful Object-Oriented Database Management System (ODBMS) whose native API is the Java Persistence API (JPA).

This repository has a basic configuration for running a server instance of ObjectDB using docker.

docker build -t ruslanguns/java-objectdb:<TAG NAME> .

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/data:/home/user/db -p 6136:6136 ruslanguns/java-objectdb:latest

docker-compose up # If you want to run standalone OR
docker-compose up -d # If you want to run as daemon

Since ObjectDB relies on MAC for activation process, and if we want to deploy using docker we can bypass the mac or use an specific mac address from where the licecence was activated.

First we need to activate licence using credentials, we can launch the docker and use it to activate the instance (after this process we need to destroy docker and recreate with the activation token):

docker exec -u 0 -it <CONTAINER NAME> java -cp objectdb.jar com.objectdb.Activator

Then we need to follow up the instructions and get the new activation code.

Keep in mind that you must have a valid activation key to create an activation token.

With the activation token we need to add this to the docker-compose and then run

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate

Feel free to edit the config.xml file to change the configuration, but be careful with the environment variables "DB_PORT", "DB_USERNAME" and "DB_PASSWORD", since if you change them you will need to update the dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file to make it dynamic (you can see the entrypoint where I'm replacing coincidences).

If you want to contribute to this project, please, feel free to fork it and make your changes. There are few tasks that I'm currently working on:

• fix user permission for data persistency: Issue TBC
• create a dynamic replication: Issue TBC
• document the project: Issue TBC
• refact the dockerfile: Issue TBC
