yottadb/octo-vehu repository overview

⁠Download and Run the Octo VistA Image

Both of these can be done in one step like this. Pass port 1338, as that's what's used to connect to Octo. If you wish, you can add 8089-8092 which are used for the YottaDB GUI. http://localost:8089/⁠ will take you to an HTTP version, and https://localhost:8091⁠ will take you to an HTTPS version.

docker run -d -p 2222:22 -p 1338:1338 -p 8089-8092:8089-8092 -p 9430:9430 --name=octo-vehu download.yottadb.com/yottadb/octo-vehu:latest-master

⁠How to Connect to Octo

You can use psql from your Linux host, the octo executable inside the docker container, or our supported GUI client Squirrel SQL. If you use psql, its host:port is localhost:1338; username/password admin/admin. Here's an example:

$ psql -h localhost -U admin -p 1338
Password for user admin: admin
psql (10.17, server 9.6.5)
Type "help" for help.
admin=# select NAME,AGE from PATIENT where AGE > 60 LIMIT 5;
             name             | age
------------------------------+-----
 ZZZRETFIVEFIFTYONE,PATIENT   |  86
 ZZZRETFIVEFORTYSEVEN,PATIENT |  86
 EIGHT,PATIENT                |  86
 ZZZRETIREDZERO,PATIENT       |  86
 ZZZRETIREDFIFTYSEVEN,PATIENT |  86
(5 rows)

If you want to use Octo inside the container, you can do it like this:

$ docker exec -it octo-vehu su - vehu

[vehu@ad2008bb18cf ~]$ octo
OCTO> select NAME,AGE from PATIENT where AGE > 60 LIMIT 5;
NAME|AGE
ZZZRETFIVEFIFTYONE,PATIENT|86
ZZZRETFIVEFORTYSEVEN,PATIENT|86
EIGHT,PATIENT|86
ZZZRETIREDZERO,PATIENT|86
ZZZRETIREDFIFTYSEVEN,PATIENT|86

OCTO>

If you want a GUI, you can use Squirrel SQL. Detailed instructions here: https://docs.yottadb.com/Octo/rocto.html#connecting-using-squirrel-sql⁠. You need to connect host:port localhost:1338; username/password admin/admin.

⁠Is there a way to access the system in terminal mode?

Yes, it's docker exec -it octo-vehu su - vehu. You can run yottadb -dir, octo, mupip, and everything else.

⁠Is there a way to connect to the docker image as a programmer?

$ docker exec -it octo-vehu su - vehu -c 'yottadb -dir'

VEHU>

You can also just log-in first and then run yottadb -dir
