⁠Docker for RESTHeart

Docker⁠ container for RESTHeart⁠. It makes use of the official MongoDB⁠ image.

⁠Setup

⁠1) Pull the MongoDB and RESTHeart images:

1. docker pull mongo
2. docker pull softinstigate/restheart

Note: if you want to pull a specific mongodb image only, you could add the exact tag, for example:

docker pull mongo:3.0

⁠2) Run the MongoDB container (add a tag to specify the exact MongoDB version other than "latest"):

docker run -d --name mongodb mongo:3.0

If you want to make it accessible from your host and also add a persistent data volume:

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb -v <db-dir>:/data/db mongo:3.0

The <db-dir> must be a folder in your host, such as /var/data/db or whatever you like. If you don't attach a volume then all your data will be lost when you stop the container.

⁠3) Run RESTHeart interactively:

docker run -i -t -p 8080:8080 --name restheart --link mongodb:mongodb softinstigate/restheart

⁠4) Check that is working:

If you are running boot2docker point your browser to: http://192.168.59.103:8080/browser⁠, otherwise: http://localhost:8080/browser⁠. To know the boot2docker IP issue the boot2docker ip command.

⁠5) Stop and restart

To stop RESTHeart just issue a normal CTRL-C.

You can start it again with docker start -i -a restheart.

To stop MongoDb issue docker stop mongodb

To start MongoDb again docker start mongodb

Available at the Docker Hub⁠.
