Developing and deploying CKAN with Docker
# Intro
Dockerfiles, Docker-compose service definition & Vagrantfile to develop & deploy CKAN, Postgres, Solr & datapusher using Docker.
Docker containers included:
- CKAN (should work with any version 2.x)
- Postgres (Postgres 9.3 and PostGIS 2.1, CKAN datastore & spatial extension supported)
- Solr (4.10.1, custom schemas & spatial extension supported)
- Docker-compose _[optional]_ (to manage the containers)
- Data _[optional]_ (to store Postgres data & CKAN FileStore separately)
Other contrib containers:
- Nginx (1.7.6 official) as a caching reverse proxy
- Datapusher

### Directories
_the content from the directories prefixed with `_` need to be edited / configured as required before building the Dockerfiles._
#### _etc
contains configuration files that are copied to /etc in the container. see _etc/README
#### _solr
contains your custom Solr schema (for your version of CKAN, & extensions installed). see _solr/README
#### _src
contains your packages source code (CKAN & extensions). see _src/README
#### _service-provider
contains any service providers (e.g. datapusher) with their Dockerfiles. see _service-provider/README.
#### docker
contains the Dockerfiles and any supporting files
#### vagrant
contains the Docker host if the host cannot run Docker containers natively (OS X & Windows)
### Files
#### Dockerfiles
The Dockerfiles are currently based on `phusion/baseimage:0.9.16`.
SSH is supported using an insecure key which is enabled by default for development purposes. You should disable it in production use for obvious reasons.
[Read this to find out more about phusion baseimage](https://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/)
##### CKAN Dockerfile
The app container runs the following services
- Apache
- Postfix
- Supervisor
- Cron
##### Postgres Dockerfile
The database container runs Postgres 9.3 and PostGIS 2.1.
It supports the [datastore](http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/datastore.html) & [ckanext-spatial](https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-spatial)
##### Data Dockerfile
The data container is optional but recommended. It exposes two volumes to store the Postgres data `($PGDATA)` & CKAN FileStore. This means you can recreate / app containers without losing your data.
##### Solr Dockerfile
The Solr container runs version 4.10.1. This can easily be changed by customising SOLR_VERSION in the Dockerfile.
By detault the `schema.xml` of the upstream version (2.3) is copied in the container. This can be overriden at runtime by mounting it as a volume.
This default path of the volume is `<path to>/_src/ckan/ckan/config/solr/schema.xml` so it mounts the schema corresponding to your version of CKAN.
For example for Docker-compose:
solr:
build: docker/solr
hostname: solr
domainname: localdomain
ports:
- "8983:8983"
volumes:
- <path to>/_src/ckan/ckan/config/solr/schema.xml:/opt/solr/example/solr/ckan/conf/schema.xml
If you need a custom schema, put it in `<full path to>/_solr` and change the path in the docker-compose or vagrant file.
volumes:
- <path to>/_solr/schema.xml:/opt/solr/example/solr/ckan/conf/schema.xml
The container is cross version compatible. You need mount the appropriate `schema.xml` as a volume, or build a child image, which will copy the `schema.xml` next to your Dockerfile.
Read the [ckanext-spatial documentation](http://docs.ckan.org/projects/ckanext-spatial/en) to add the required fields to your Solr schema if you use ckanext-spatial
##### Docker-compose Dockerfile
The Docker-compose container runs the latests Docker-compose & Docker within a container.
The Docker socket needs to be mounted as a volume to control Docker on the host. A source folder must be mounted to access the docker-compose definition
see docker/compose/Readme to find out how to use
#### Vagrantfile
Defines VMs provided by Docker, a Virtual Box docker-host is used if the host can't run Docker containers natively. This is an alternative to Boot2Docker.
#### docker-compose.yml
Defines the set of services required to run CKAN. Read the [docker-compose.yml reference](http://docs.docker.com/compose/yml/) to understand and edit.

# Usage
1. Clone your code in the `_src` directory (see _src/README)
2. Clone the datapusher in `_service-provider` (see _service-provider/README)
3. Set the full path of the volumes in docker-compose.yml
4. Run `up` with Docker-compose or Vagrant
## Using Docker-compose (recommended)
#### Option 1: Docker-compose is installed on the Docker host
_If you have it installed, just type_
docker-compose up
#### Option 2: Using the docker-compose container
_Otherwise, you can use the container provided_
Build the Docker-compose container
docker build --tag="dockercompose_container" docker/compose
Run it
docker run -it -d --name="dockercompose-ckan" -p 2375 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock -v $(pwd):/src dockercompose_container
_In the Docker-compose container docker-compose won't work with relative path, because the mount namespace is different, you need to change the relative path to absolute path_
for example, change the `./`:
volumes:
- ./_src:/usr/lib/ckan/default/src
to an absolute path to you ckan-docker directory: `/Users/username/git/ckan/ckan-docker/`
volumes:
- /Users/username/git/ckan/ckan-docker/_src:/usr/lib/ckan/default/src
Build & Run the services defined in `docker-compose.yml`
docker exec -it dockercompose-ckan docker-compose up
If you are using boot2docker, add entries in your hosts file e.g. `192.168.59.103 ckan.localdomain`
You can now access CKAN at http://ckan.localdomain:8080/ (Apache) & http://ckan.localdomain/ (Ngnix)
## Using Vagrant
Build & run
vagrant up --provider=docker --no-parallel
You can now access CKAN at http://localhost:8080/ (Apache)
You can also SSH inside the container if you have left the `--enable-insecure-key` option in the run command.
vagrant ssh ckan
SSH insecure key can be disabled by removing the `--enable-insecure-key` option from the run command.
---
## Running commands inside the container
The simplest thing to do is to use the `docker exec` command, for example:
docker exec -it src_ckan_1 /bin/bash
You can also SSH inside the container if you have left the `--enable-insecure-key` option in the run command.
ssh -i docker/insecure_key -p 2222 root@ckan.localdomain
SSH insecure key can be disabled by removing the `--enable-insecure-key` option from the run command.
## Managing Docker images & containers
You should use docker-compose to manage your containers & images, this will ensure they are started/stopped in order
If you want to quickly remove all untagged images:
docker images -q --filter "dangling=true" | xargs docker rmi
If you want to quickly remove all stopped containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
---
## Developing CKAN
### Using paster serve instead of apache for development
CKAN container starts Apache2 by default and the `ckan.site_url` port is set to `8080` in `50_configure`.
You can override that permanently in the `custom_options.ini`, or manually in the container, for instance if you want to use paster in a development context.
Example (`paster serve --reload` in debug mode):
docker exec -it src_ckan_1 /bin/bash
supervisorctl stop apache2
sed -i -r 's/debug = false/debug = true/' $CKAN_CONFIG/$CONFIG_FILE
sed -i -r 's/ckan.localdomain:8080/ckan.localdomain:5000/' $CKAN_CONFIG/$CONFIG_FILE
$CKAN_HOME/bin/paster serve --reload $CKAN_CONFIG/$CONFIG_FILE
### Frontend development
Front end development is also possible (see [Frontend development guidelines](http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/contributing/frontend/))
Install frontend dependencies:
docker exec -it src_ckan_1 /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nodejs npm
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
source $CKAN_HOME/bin/activate
cd $CKAN_HOME/
npm install nodewatch less@1.3.3
Both examples show that development dependencies should only be installed in the containers when required. Since they are not part of the `Dockerfile` they do not persist and only serve the purpose of development. When they are no longuer needed the container can be rebuilt allowing to test the application in a production-like state.
