Running with Docker¶
Docker is very powerful as a general way to specify how things should be
installed, but has a steep learning curve. After installing and running
docker-machine
and docker-compose
, BEL Commons can be run with
a few simple commands.
Dockerfile¶
A simple Dockerfile is included at the root-level of the repository. This Dockerfile is inspired by the tutorials from Container Tutorials and Digital Ocean.
Warning
The virtual machine needs at least 2GB memory for the worker container
The database needs a packet size big enough to accommodate large BEL files (>10 mb)
