Running with Docker¶
Docker is very powerful as a general way to specify how things should be
installed, but has a steep learning curve. After installing and running
docker-machine
and docker-compose
, BEL Commons can be run with
a few simple commands.
Dockerfile¶
A simple Dockerfile is included at the root-level of the repository. This Dockerfile is inspired by the tutorials from Container Tutorials and Digital Ocean.
Warning
- The virtual machine needs at least 2GB memory for the worker container
- The database needs a packet size big enough to accommodate large BEL files (>10 mb)
