userdb

This is one of two API for the BioCompute Portal.

Using Docker with the BCO UserDatabase

Building the BCO UserDatabase via Docker

A docker file is provided to allow easy building of the BCO UserDatabase. This can be done from the root directory (the directory with Dockerfile in it) by running:

docker build -t userdb:latest .

This will build a container named userdb with the tag latest.

Running the container via Docker

The BCO UserDatabase container can be run via docker on the command line by running:

docker run --rm --network host -it userdb:latest

This will expose the server at http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Overriding the port

It is possible to override the port 8080 to whatever port is desired, for example port 8008. This is done by running the container:

docker run --rm --network host -it userdb:latest 0.0.0.0:8008

NOTE: The ip address of 0.0.0.0 is to allow the web serer to properly associate with 127.0.0.1 - if given 127.0.0.1 it will not allow communications outside of the container!

With 8008 representing the desired port. You can also give it a specific network created with docker network create if you wanted to give assigned IP addresses.
