Setup

BigObject uses docker as the primary delivery method. Docker allows BigOjbect applications to be shipped and updated in a standardized environment independent of the user's platform.

To download and install Docker, please visit https://docs.docker.com/install/.

Once docker is installed, the user can use following steps to setup BigObject:

Step 1: Pull BigObject demo version image for Docker.

docker pull bigobject/bigobject:demo

Step 2: Create and start a Docker container (with demo version or actual user data situation)

To run with demo version / pre-built-in data:

docker run -t -d --name bigobject -p 9090:9090 -p 9091:9091 -p 3306:3306   bigobject/bigobject:demo

Actual run with user's own data by mounting user data directory:

docker run -t -d --name bigobject -p 9090:9090 -p 9091:9091 -p 3306:3306 -v user_data_directory:/srv/bo/ds  bigobject/bigobject

Actual run with user's own data by mounting user data directory and input data directory:

docker run -t -d --name bigobject -p 9090:9090 -p 9091:9091 -p 3306:3306 -v user_data_directory:/srv/bo/ds  -v user_csv_directory:/srv/bo/file  bigobject/bigobject
