In this guide we will show you how to create a Docker container for Odysseus. Such a container can help you to run and share Odysseus more easily. If you want to user our predefined Odysseus Server Docker Container, see Run with Docker.

Step-by-step guide

We assume that you have a Linux system up and running, e.g. Ubuntu. If you want to try it out without changing your system or if you don't have a Linux machine, we recommend VirtualBox.

Installing Docker

  1. Open a Terminal window.
  2.  Type "docker"
  3. If Docker is already installed, a help page with common Docker options and commands will show up.
  4. If not, your Terminal will probably give you a hint how to install Docker. Under Ubuntu, it is "sudo apt-get install docker.io"

Preparing the Folder

Now we need a folder where we can put everything that we need in.

  1. Create a folder, e.g. in your "Documents"-folder.
  2. Move to that folder
  3. Create another folder "odysseus" in that folder

Creating the magic folder
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~$ ls
Desktop  Documents  Downloads  examples.desktop  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~$ cd Documents/
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ ls
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ mkdir odysseusdocker
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ ls
odysseusdocker
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ cd odysseusdocker/
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents/odysseusdocker$ mkdir odysseus

 

  1. Now we need the version from Odysseus that we want to run. We can use the Odysseus Server Version as an example.
  2. Download Odysseus Server for Linux here (we use the 64-bit version): http://odysseus.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/index.php?id=76
  3. Unzip the content of your download to the odysseus-folder within out odysseusdocker folder
