Installation via GitHub Packages

Prerequisites

In order to run this microservice via docker you’ll need:

• Docker

Installation

Typically, there is no need for locally building images as all version are accessible via GitHub Packages. Have a look of available images and their tags here

Create Docker Container

After you have chosen a suitable tag (latest should be fine in most cases) you have to create and start a docker container for executing MetaStore as a service:

user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$ docker run -d -p8040:8040 --name metastore4docker kitdm/metastore2:latest
57c973e7092bfc3778569f90632d60775dfecd12352f13a4fd2fdf4270865286
user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$

Setup MetaStore inside Docker

If you want to setup MetaStore inside a docker container you have stop and remove created image first and rebuild it with mounting a local directory holding your ‘application.properties’

user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$ docker stop metastore4docker 
user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$ docker rm metastore4docker 
user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$ docker run -d -p8040:8040 \
                                                 --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/config,target=/spring/metastore2/config \
                                                 --name metastore4docker kitdm/metastore2:latest
57c973e7092bfc3778569f90632d60775dfecd12352f13a4fd2fdf4270865286
user@localhost:/home/user/metastore2$

For how to set up MetaStore please refer to Setup MetaStore.

From now on the container has to be restarted to trigger new settings from ‘application.properties’.
