Firstly, let's make the configuration file. There are two services: aidbox-db and aidbox. The first one is PostgreSQL database and the second one is the Aidbox itself.
docker-compose.yaml
version:'3.7'
services:
aidbox-db:
image:"${PGIMAGE}"
ports:
-"${PGHOSTPORT}:${PGPORT}"
volumes:
-"./pgdata:/data"
environment:
POSTGRES_USER:"${PGUSER}"
POSTGRES_PASSWORD:"${PGPASSWORD}"
POSTGRES_DB:"${PGDATABASE}"
​
aidbox:
image:"${AIDBOX_IMAGE}"
depends_on:["aidbox-db"]
links:
-"aidbox-db:database"
ports:
-"${AIDBOX_PORT}:${AIDBOX_PORT}"
env_file:
- .env
environment:
PGHOST: database
Create .env file
To configure Aidbox we need to pass environment variables to it. We can pass them with .env file.
.env
# postgres image to run
PGIMAGE=healthsamurai/aidboxdb:14.2
​
# aidbox image to run
# AIDBOX_IMAGE=healthsamurai/aidboxone:stable
AIDBOX_IMAGE=healthsamurai/aidboxone:edge
​
# license details
AIDBOX_LICENSE=<your-license-key>
​
# if you got pair of id and key use this instead
# AIDBOX_LICENSE_ID=<your-license-id>
# AIDBOX_LICENSE_KEY=<your-license-key>
​
# Client to create on start up
AIDBOX_CLIENT_ID=root
AIDBOX_CLIENT_SECRET=secret

# root user to create on start up
AIDBOX_ADMIN_ID=admin
AIDBOX_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
​
# port to run webserver at
