Docker setup for Avni Server

[thundersparkf]

Containerised Avni-server using Docker and Docker Compose

Although there is a avniproject/avni-docker, it does not seem to be updated. I could not find an active issue for containerisation so I could not mention it in the PR.

Docker build

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t avni-server:latest .  

Docker Compose

Create a copy of the docker/.env.example file using:

cp docker/.env.example docker/.env

And update docker/.env with the require environment variables and values

There are two files:

1. docker/docker-compose.yml - Contains the Avni service
2. docker/docker-compose.db.yml - Contains the Postgres service and Database initialising service that runs the initial SQL script(make build_server)

Run on temporary local database

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml -f docker/docker-compose.db.yml up  

This will deploy a Postgres container. Please ensure that the OPENCHS_DATABASE_HOST value matches the name of database service key in docker/docker-compose.db.yml(default: db).

Run on remote database

Assuming that the initialisation scripts are all executed on the remote database, run:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up  

Tear down

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up  

If the local database was used

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml -f docker/docker-compose.db.yml up  

Please let me know if there's concerns or issues.
