Setup

• Start
• Stop
• CMR Graph System

Docker is used to provide developers with the infrastructure necessary to work effectively on CMR Graph.

Start

To start this supporting infrastructure, you can use the lein alias we have provided:

$ lein start-infra

That will use docker-compose to start instances of Neo4j, Elasticsearch, and Kibana – each in their own container.

Note that this command uses docker-compose; Mac users get this for free when they install Docker, but Linux users will need to install it manually.

When the docker containers start, a local data directory will be created which is used by each service so that we don’t loose crucial information between restarts of the containers.

Once all the containers are running, you can access web resources via localhost, as demonstrated in the “Connecting” documentation.

Stop

Stopping (in a different terminal) is done in a similar manner as start:

$ lein stop-infra

CMR Graph System

If you don’t need the REPL, you can start the CMR Graph system with the following:

$ lein start-cmr-graph
