Docker Compose installation

We recommend using docker compose as it greatly simplifies the management and maintenance of docker containers.

Configuration

Given the following directory structure:

|--- docker-compose.yml           # Docker-compose master configuration of all containers
|--- nemo/
|    |--- settings.py             # Nemo settings
|--- nginx/
|    |--- nginx.conf              # Nginx configuration
|    |--- server.crt              # Optional certificate
|    |--- server.key              # Optional private key
|    |--- server.keytab           # Optional Kerberos keytab config file

here is an example of docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  nginx:
    container_name: "nginx"
    image: nanofab/nginx:3.1.0
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx:/root/nginx
      - ./nemo/static:/root/nginx/nemo
    restart: always
  nemo:
    container_name: "nemo"
    image: nanofab/nemo:4.5.5
    volumes:
      - ./nemo:/nemo
    restart: unless-stopped

and an example of nginx.conf:

(first time only, create a superuser) run docker exec --interactive --tty nemo django-admin createsuperuser

run docker compose down to stop and remove all containers
