- Clone the xnat-docker-compose repository either directly from xnat into your server. *Open the default.env file and note the Time zone (TZ) and the version of the xnat. This will be useful when you would need to install the compatible versions of the plugins.
$git clone https://github.com/NrgXnat/xnat-docker-compose$cd xnat-docker-compose.
- Set Docker enviroment variables: Default and sample enviroment variables are provided in the default.env file. Add these variables to your environment or simply copy default.env to .env . Values in this file are used to populate dollar-notation variables in the docker-compose.yml file.
- Configurations: The default configuration is sufficient to run the deployment. The following files can be modified if you want to change the default configuration
- docker-compose.yml: How the different containers are deployed. There is a section of build arguments (under
services → xnat-web → build → args) to control some aspects of the build. - If you want to download a different version of XNAT, you can change the
XNAT_VERSION variable to some other release. - The
TOMCAT_XNAT_FOLDER build argument is set to ROOT by default; this means the XNAT will be available at http://localhost. If, instead, you wish it to be at http://localhost/xnat or, more generally, at http://localhost/{something}, you can set TOMCAT_XNAT_FOLDER to the value something. - If you need to control some arguments that get sent to tomcat on startup, you can modify the
CATALINA_OPTS environment variable (under services → xnat-web → environment).
- xnat/Dockerfile: Builds the xnat-web image from a tomcat docker image.
- Run Xnat by typing in the terminal:
- Check that it ran without error typing in the terminal:
docker-compose logs -f --tail=20 xnat-web
