Dockerfile for serving bokeh visualisations

docker-bokeh

Dockerfiles for running bokeh in Docker. Builds for most recent docker releases (both stable and dev) are generated.

To run the latest stable release do:

docker run -p 5100:5100 lukauskas/bokeh:latest 

To run latest dev release, use the tag dev. For specific version number, just use the version number as a tag.

The command above will map the container port 5100 to port 5100 of the host machine. Adjust it as appropriate. By default you should be able to access the bokeh visualisation at http://172.0.0.1:5100.

Two environment variables are supported:

• PREFIX - gets passed to --prefix in bokeh serve
• ORIGIN - passed to --allow-websocket-origin.

Adjust ORIGIN as appropriate for your application. This should be equal to FQDN plus port of the frontend of your application. For instance, if the application will be hosted on http://www.example.com:1234 the ORIGIN variable should be ORIGIN=www.example.com:1234. If it is set incorrectly, bokeh will refuse any connections to websockets and therefore no visualisations wil work.

Environment variable example:

docker run -p 5100:5100 -e PREFIX=foo -e ORIGIN=www.example.com:5100 lukauskas/bokeh:latest 

Will allow one to access the visualisation at www.example.com:5100/foo/app
