⁠Using the docker-compose file

Launching your wEMBOSS docker is really easy using docker-compose. Just download the docker-compose.yml file and customize the content according to your needs. There are few settings that should be change in the file, follow the instructions in the file to configure your container. To launch the container, type:

sudo docker-compose up

Using the -d flag you can launch the containers in background.

In case you do not have the Container stored locally, docker will download it for you.

sudo docker run --name wemboss -v /your/data/location/wemboss-data:/data -e ADMIN_USER=youradminuser -e ADMIN_PASS=supersecret -p 8092:80 -d fikipollo/wemboss

• -p 8092:80 will make the port 80 (inside of the container) available on port 8092 on your host. Inside the container a wEMBOSS Webserver is running on port 8092 and that port can be bound to a local port on your host computer.
