Windows 10 setup for Docker DSpace

Install Docker Desktop

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

Install Git Bash as a terminal for running Docker

This shell most closely mirrors the user experience for MacOS and Linux users

https://git-scm.com/downloads

Run the following command to verify your install

  git version

Note for Windows users running docker commands

• When running a DSpace command that requires terminal interaction, prefix your docker command with winpty
• When referencing a the root directory of a docker container, use // instead of /.
  • Example use //dspace/bin/dspace for /dspace/bin/dspace

Verify Running Docker from your Terminal

winpty docker run -it --rm ubuntu //bin/bash

Enter echo hello then enter exit

root@653eeaeb274b:/# echo hello
hello
root@653eeaeb274b:/# exit
exit

Download DSpace Docker Compose Files

cd
git clone https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images.git
cd DSpace-Docker-Images/docker-compose-files/dspace-compose

Verify Docker Compose

docker-compose version

Check your download of DSpace Compose Files

docker-compose config | grep container_name

Verify your memory allocation for Docker

Note: DSpace Docker requires a minimum of 5-6G of RAM allocated to Docker in order to run.

Run the following command to verify your memory allocation for Docker.

docker info | grep Memory

If less that 5G has been allocated to Docker, you can configure memory for Docker.
