Boa Docker

This Docker image provides a fully working Boa setup, including the front-end web interface and all back-end scripts (including Hadoop).

Requirements

These instructions assume you have Docker compose available.

Building the Image

docker-compose build

Running a Container

By default, the compose file will make two volumes docker_hdfs (containing the HDFS data) and docker_mysql (for the SQL data). For a clean run, first do:

docker-compose down -v

Then to run, just use compose:

docker-compose up

Once it fully loads, you will see instructions on the URL to connect to and the user/pw to use. There should be a sample dataset installed as live that you can use to test.

Parameters

The compose file will pick up the following environment variables, if they exist:

• BOA_USER=boa the admin username to login to Boa's web interface
• BOA_PW=rocks the admin password to login to Boa's web interface
• WWW_PUBLISHED_PORT=3000 the local port to run the web interface on
• SQL_PUBLISHED_PORT=3001 the local port to access MySQL
