Without Authentication

If you are on an internal network and you trust the users who can access the server, the simplest way to set up a Bag Database is so that authentication is not required using Docker compose. This method will pull the latest images of the software from the GitHub Docker registry (ghcr.io).

Here’s an example docker-compose.yml file; this one will run:

• The Bag Database
• A PostGIS database server
• A Docker-in-Docker service (necessary for running scripts)

Review the comments in the file docker-compose.yml for things you may wish to customize.

Note that with the way these containers are configured, the directory containing your bags must exist before starting everything up. The example template assumes these bags are stored in ${HOME}/public_html/bags.

To start the bag database, save docker-compose.yml to a directory, cd to that directory, and run:

docker-compose up

After everything has started, you should be able to access your server at http://server_ip:8080/ .
