Running in Docker

The latest stable version of SOSSE can be run in docker with the command:

docker run -p 8005:80 --mount source=sosse_postgres,destination=/var/lib/postgresql \
                      --mount source=sosse_var,destination=/var/lib/sosse biolds/sosse:latest

This would start an instance of SOSSE on port 8005, and would persist data in the sosse_postgres and sosse_var Docker volumes.

You may also locally mount other directories to access their content, with the following flags:

• --volume $PWD/sosse-conf:/etc/sosse/: mounting an empty directory as /etc/sosse/ will create default configuration files in it. You can then edit them and restart Docker to make the changes effective.

• --volume $PWD/sosse-log:/var/log/sosse/: mounting this directory would let you access log files.

Next steps

You can now point your browser to connect to the port 8005 and log in with the user admin and the password admin. For more information about the configuration, you can follow the Administration pages, or follow Website Search to start indexing documents.
