psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path repository overview

⁠docker-gephi-lite-path

A Docker container that serves Gephi Lite⁠ - the open-source graph exploration and visualization tool - as static assets rooted at /gephi-lite/, so it drops cleanly behind a reverse proxy or alongside other web apps on the same host.

Maintained by PSA Intelligence⁠.

⁠Features

Gephi Lite runs entirely in the browser - this container only ships the compiled static build with nginx. There is no server-side processing, persistence layer, or graph compute endpoint.

• Path-rooted - served from /gephi-lite/ so it can sit behind any path-aware reverse proxy without conflicts.
• Static hosting - shipped as a single nginx container, trivially deployable behind any reverse proxy or load balancer.
• Pinned upstream releases - each image tag is built from a specific gephi/gephi-lite release for reproducibility.

⁠Quick start

Images are published to both Docker Hub and the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR). Pick whichever registry you prefer - the image content is identical.

# Docker Hub
docker pull psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path:latest

# GHCR
docker pull ghcr.io/psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path:latest

# Run on http://localhost:8080/gephi-lite/
docker run -d \
  --name gephi-lite \
  -p 8080:80 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path:latest

Open http://localhost:8080/gephi-lite/⁠ in your browser.

⁠Docker Compose

services:
  gephi-lite:
    image: ghcr.io/psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path:latest  # or psaintelligence/gephi-lite-path:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    restart: unless-stopped

docker compose up -d

⁠Serving behind a reverse proxy

Because the app is rooted at /gephi-lite/, you can place it behind any path-aware front proxy. Example with nginx upstream:

location /gephi-lite/ {
    proxy_pass http://gephi-lite:80/gephi-lite/;
    proxy_set_header Host              $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For   $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

⁠Building from source

This repository clones the upstream gephi/gephi-lite source at a pinned tag, runs npm install + npm run build with BASE_URL=/gephi-lite/, then ships the compiled static output with nginx.

git clone https://github.com/psaintelligence/docker-gephi-lite-path.git
cd docker-gephi-lite-path

# Build with the default upstream tag (@gephi/[email protected])
docker build -t gephi-lite-path:local .

# Build against a different upstream tag
docker build -t gephi-lite-path:local \
  --build-arg COMMIT_TAG='@gephi/[email protected]' .

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 gephi-lite-path:local
