How to build

docker build -t THE_DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME:THE_VERSION -f THE_DOCKER_FILE_NAME

e.g.,

docker build -t my-iotdb:<version> -f Dockerfile-<version>

How to run IoTDB server

Actually, we maintain a repo on dockerhub, so that you can get the docker image directly.

For example,

docker run -d -p 6667:6667 -p 31999:31999 -p 8181:8181 -p 5555:5555 apache/iotdb:<version>

How to configure docker volumes

The instructions below show how to store the output data and logs of IoTDB to two folders called iotdb_data and iotdb_logs respectively.

/D/docker/iotdb_data and /D/docker/iotdb_logs can be changed to any local directory of your own host.

docker run -it -v /D/docker/iotdb_data:/iotdb/data -v /D/docker/iotdb_logs:/iotdb/logs --name 123 apache/iotdb:<version>

How to run IoTDB client

Suppose you have run an IoTDB Server in docker

Use docker ps to find out the CONTAINER ID e.g.,

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                                                NAMES
c82321c70137        apache/iotdb:<version>  "/iotdb/sbin/start-s…"   12 minutes ago      Up 12 minutes       0.0.0.0:6667->6667/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8181->8181/tcp, 5555/tcp, 0.0.0.0:31999->31999/tcp   elegant_germain

Use docker exec to attach the container:

docker exec -it c82321c70137 /bin/bash

Then, for the latest version (or, >=0.10.x), run start-cli.sh, for version 0.9.x and 0.8.1, run start-client.sh.

Enjoy it!
