Setting up Bassa via containers

Setting up Bassa using Docker and docker-compose (independent of source code)

In order to setup Bassa using docker, install the latest version of docker with docker-compose tool on your machine. Now download the docker-compose files (production and development variants) from Release. Open terminal in the folder where the docker-compose file exists and run

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

starts development variant and for the production variant run the command.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up

The above command pulls our completely packed container images from the docker hub registry without any further configuration and starts the application instantly which is ideal for a smaller community. You can catch the front-end running at localhost:3000 for development variant and at localhost:80 for production variant.

Setting up Bassa using Docker and docker-compose (from source code)

In order to setup Bassa using docker, install the latest version of docker with docker-compose tool on your machine. Clone the Bassa GitHub repository. Run the below command to move into the root folder.

cd Bassa

We will be using a docker-compose tool to build images and finally spin up all our containers and then we can start using Bassa. docker-compose configuration file has a configuration for each container and you are free to modify it. You can run the below command.

For development:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

You can access the Bassa Web Client at port 3000 served by Gulp.
For production:

docker-compose up --build

You can access the Bassa Web Client at port 80 served by Nginx.
You can run a specific container using a docker-compose tool. You can do that using the service names.

Service	Service Name
API server	api
Web client	web
Database server	db
Aria2c	aria2c

Usage

docker-compose build [SERVICE NAME]
docker-compose run [SERVICE NAME]
