# 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 <a href="#workingwithdocker-configureopencontent-1" id="workingwithdocker-configureopencontent-1"></a>

The first thing that has to be configured is storage. This can either be done in the UI at [`http://localhost/admin`](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)"
```
