spydernaz/ranger-example-webapp repository overview

⁠Ranger Admin (docker version)

⁠Summary

Kudos: Coheigea's⁠ repo for some of the base work and SiweiWang's⁠ repo for the mysql modifications as I was having issues with the postgres container.

This project contains the configuration required to run the Apache Ranger admin server in docker. The primary use case for me is to test Ranger and Ranger plugins (primarily, integrations with other open source tooling i.e. Neo4J)

⁠Building the project

There are two main features (I have also inlcuded the dockerhub images if you dont want to build from scratch);

1. The Ranger Admin tool / container [dockerhub]⁠
2. The backend DB for storing policies [dockerhub]⁠

The simplest way to run the project is to use Docker Compose as follows:

docker-compose up

To run manually:

Create a network so that we can link containers:

docker network create my-network
docker run -p 5432:5432 --name dn --network my-network spydernaz/apache-ranger-admin-db:latest
docker run -p 6080:6080 -it --network my-network spydernaz/apache-ranger-admin:latest

You can also build from scratch if you wish by running:

cd ranger-admin
docker build -t localrepo/rangeradmin .
cd ../ranger-db
docker build -t localrepo/rangeradmindb

⁠Accessing the service

Once the Ranger admin server is started you can open a browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:6080⁠ (credentials: admin/passw0rd)
