Open Content Docker

How to run Open Content in Docker on my own computer.

The Docker images for Open Content are primarily for development purposes, not production. So if you are a developer looking for how to start Open Content locally for integration testing or trying things out, then this is for you.

# create a directory where to work, in home oc-lab 
cd 
mkdir oc-lab
cd oc-lab

# Download the zip file from S3 
curl -s https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/open-content-artifacts/opencontent-docker-configs.zip  \  
--output opencontent-docker-configs.zip

# Unzip 
unzip opencontent-docker-configs.zip

# Go to directory
cd opencontent-docker-lab

Start Open Content

docker-compose -f docker-compose-lab.yml up --detach

Wait until all containers are downloaded and started. Now there is an empty Open Content without configuration or content.

Logging

docker-compose -f docker-compose-lab.yml logs -f wildfly

Open Content UI

Configuration is done using the admin UI or the admin API. The UI can be found here http://localhost/admin.

Below is the menu for the Open Content admin UI.

Configure Open Content

The first thing that has to be configured is storage. This can either be done in the UI at http://localhost/admin or with this curl command:

curl -u admin:admin -d name=OpenContent -d path=/tmp http://localhost:8080/opencontent/admin/storage​

Open Content configuration in this setup is done using a local copy of our Bitbucket repository for configuration. Use the Open Content admin UI to inspect the detailed settings for the different configuration options.

Go to the opencontent-configuration directory where the configure.sh script is

cd ../opencontent-configs/scripts

Configure Open Content for public use

./configure.sh \
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/opencontent \
public

Configure Open Content for public and app use

./configure.sh \
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/opencontent \
public-app

Configure Open Content for editorial use

./configure.sh \
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/opencontent \
editorial

Activation of the configuration

curl -u admin:admin \
-X POST "http://localhost:8080/opencontent/admin/configuration/activate" \
-H "accept: */*" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "reason=configured from script&name=$(whoami)"
