docker-cartodb
This docker container provides a fully working cartodb development solution without the installation hassle.
Just run the commands and then connect to http://cartodb.localhost with your you browser.
The default login is dev/pass1234. You may want to change it when you'll run it for the outside.
It also creates an 'example' organization with owner login admin4example/pass1234. Organization members can be created on http://cartodb.localhost/user/admin4example/organization
How to build the container:
git clone https://github.com/sverhoeven/docker-cartodb.git
docker build -t="sverhoeven/cartodb" docker-cartodb/
How to run the container:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8080:8080 -p 8181:8181 sverhoeven/cartodb
The ports the cartodb container publishes must be combined behind a single NGINX web server. In the GitHub repo there is an example NGINX config file (config/cartodb.nginx.proxy.conf), which needs to be added to /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory, after which the web server must be restarted. This will setup a reverse proxy for the CartoDB/imports (3000), SQL Api (8080) and Map api (8181) to default http port (80). Alternativly use instructions at https://hub.docker.com/r/spawnthink/cartodb-nginx/ to run NGINX as a docker container with the correct config file already in it.
The CartoDB instance has been configured with the hostname cartodb.localhost, this means the web browser and web server need to be able to resolve cartodb.localhost to the machine where the web server is running.
This can be done by adding cartodb.localhost alias to your hosts file. For example
sudo sh -c 'echo 127.0.1.1 cartodb.localhost >> /etc/hosts'
(For Windows it will be C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
