WireCloud builds on cutting-edge end-user (software) development, RIA and semantic technologies to offer a next-generation end-user centred web application mashup platform aimed at allowing end users without programming skills to easily create web applications and dashboards/cockpits (e.g. to visualize their data of interest or to control their domotized home or environment). Web application mashups integrate heterogeneous data, application logic, and UI components (widgets) sourced from the Web to create new coherent and value-adding composite applications. They are targeted at leveraging the "long tail" of the Web of Services (a.k.a. the Programmable Web) by exploiting rapid development, DIY, and shareability. They typically serve a specific situational (i.e. immediate, short-lived, customized) need, frequently with high potential for reuse. Is this "situational" character which precludes them to be offered as 'off-the-shelf' functionality by solution providers, and therefore creates the need for a tool like WireCloud
WireCloud is part of FIWARE. Check it out in the Catalogue
$ docker run --name some-wirecloud -p 80:8000 -e DEBUG=True -d fiware/wirecloud
The following environment variables are also honored for configuring your WireCloud instance:
-e DEBUG=...(defaults to "False", use "True" for running WireCloud in debug mode. Debug mode should be enabled for running WireCloud in standalone mode)-e LOGLEVEL=...(defaults to "INFO")-e ALLOWED_HOSTS=...(defaults to "*", whitespace whitespace-separated list of allowed hosts. See Django documentation for more details)-e DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=...(defaults to "browser", see documentation for more details)-e DEFAULT_THEME=...(defaults to "wirecloud.defaulttheme")-e DB_HOST=...(defaults to nothing, provide a host value to connect this image with a DB server)-e DB_NAME=...(defaults to "postgres")-e DB_USERNAME=...(defaults to "postgres")-e DB_PASSWORD=...(defaults to "postgres")-e DB_PORT=...(defaults to "5432")-e FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS=...(defaults to "*", set this to provide a list of trusted reverse proxies)-e ELASTICSEARCH2_URL=...(defaults to nothing, leave it empty to use Whoosh instead).-e LANGUAGE_CODE=...(defaults to "en-gb", See django documentation for more details)-e MEMCACHED_LOCATION=...(defaults to nothing, leave it empty to disable memcached support)-e FIWARE_IDM_SERVER=...(defaults to nothing, leave it empty for authenticating users using the credentials stored on the WireCloud database.)-e FIWARE_IDM_PUBLIC_URL=...(defaults to nothing, leave it empty for using theFIWARE_IDM_SERVERconfiguration for building the url when redirecting the browser to the IdM portal)-e SOCIAL_AUTH_FIWARE_KEY=...(defaults to nothing)-e SOCIAL_AUTH_FIWARE_SECRET=...(defaults to nothing)-e KEYCLOAK_IDM_SERVER=...(defaults to nothing, leave it empty for authenticating users using the credentials stored on the WireCloud database.)-e KEYCLOAK_REALM=...(default to nothing, realm to use for connecting with keycloak)-e KEYCLOAK_KEY=...(default to nothing)-e KEYCLOAK_GLOBAL_ROLE=...(default to "False")-e SOCIAL_AUTH_KEYCLOAK_KEY=...(defaults to nothing)-e SOCIAL_AUTH_KEYCLOAK_SECRET=...(defaults to nothing)-e HTTPS_VERIFY=...(True, False or path to a certificate bundle, default to "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt")-e ADMIN_URL_PATH=...(default to "^admin/", regexp for the administration path)
In addition to those environment variables, this docker image also allows you to
configure the following Django settings using environment variables with the
same name: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX, CSRF_COOKIE_AGE,
CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY, CSRF_COOKIE_NAME, CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE,
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD, EMAIL_PORT,
EMAIL_HOST_USER, EMAIL_USE_SSL, EMAIL_USE_TLS, FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME,
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL, SECRET_KEY, SESSION_COOKIE_AGE,
SESSION_COOKIE_NAME, SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY and SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE.
See Django documentation for more details.
When running WireCloud with TLS behind a reverse proxy such as Apache/NGINX
which is responsible for doing TLS termination, be sure to set
the X-Forwarded-Proto, X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Port headers
appropriately.
As an alternative to passing sensitive information via environment variables, _FILE may be appended to some sensitive
environment variables, causing the initialization script to load the values for those variables from files present in
the container. In particular, this can be used to load passwords from Docker secrets stored in
/run/secrets/<secret_name> files. For example:
docker run --name wirecloud -e DB_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/password -d fiware/wirecloudCurrently, this _FILE suffix is supported for:
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORDKEYCLOAK_KEYLOGOUT_REDIRECT_URLSECRET_KEYSOCIAL_AUTH_FIWARE_KEYSOCIAL_AUTH_FIWARE_SECRETSOCIAL_AUTH_KEYCLOAK_KEYSOCIAL_AUTH_KEYCLOAK_SECRET
You can run any available manage.py command by using docker exec -ti some-wirecloud manage.py .... For example, you can create superusers/administrators by running the following command:
$ docker exec -ti some-wirecloud manage.py createsuperuser
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): admin
Email address: ${youremail}
Password: ${yourpassword}
Password (again): ${yourpassword}
Superuser created successfully.
Regarding commands using the filesystem, take into account that those commands will be executed inside the container and thus the filesystem will be the one used by the container. The manage.py script will not check if those commands make changes outside the provided volumes. Anyway, they can be used without any problem. For example, static files can be collected using the following command:
$ docker exec -ti some-wirecloud manage.py collectstatic
Use docker exec -ti some-wirecloud manage.py --help for getting the list of available commands.

volumes:

}Run docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml wirecloud (or docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up), wait for it to initialize completely, and visit http://swarm-ip, http://localhost, or http://host-ip (as appropriate). Also, take into account that you should configure https to have a production-ready deployment of WireCloud (not covered by this example).
If you want to customize your WireCloud installation, the best option is to create a new docker image by extending one of the official images and installing new modules. For example, you can follow the following tutorial for creating a custom theme and install it on the extended image and use the DEFAULT_THEME environment variable to configure it as the default theme.
View license information for WireCloud.
This image is officially supported on Docker version 1.7.0.
Support for older versions (down to 1.0) is provided on a best-effort basis.
This document should provide everything you need to install WireCloud using docker. Anyway, you can find the User & Programmer's Manual and the Administration Guides on Read the Docs.
If you have any problems with or questions about this image, please contact us through a GitHub issue.
You can also reach many of the official image maintainers via the fiware and fiware-wirecloud tags on StackOverflow.
You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.
