Hyku on Docker

Running Hyku on Docker

We distribute a docker-compose.yml configuration for running the Hyku stack and application using docker. Once you have docker installed and running, launch the stack using e.g.:

docker-compose up -d

Now you can visit http://localhost:8080/ and see the site running in multitenancy mode.

How do I set up DNS for multiple tenants?

How do I run it in single tenant mode?

Presently there's no way to set up the single tenant mode, because hyku uses the account creation step to initialize a Solr collection for your repository. We could enable single tenant mode if we had a mechanism to create this collection out of band.

How do I update the application?

The containers are meant to be immutable, so we just discard the container and build a new one by running docker-compose build
