Dataspace Connector

ContributeDocsIssuesLicense

The Dataspace Connector is an implementation of an IDS connector component following the IDS Reference Architecture Model. It integrates the IDS Information Model and uses the IDS Messaging Services for IDS functionalities and message handling. The core component in this repository provides a REST API for loading, updating, and deleting resources with local or remote data enriched by its metadata. It supports IDS conform message handling with other IDS connectors and components and implements usage control for selected IDS usage policy patterns.



Quick Start

The official Docker images of the Dataspace Connector can be found here.

For an easy deployment, make sure that you have Docker installed. Then, execute the following command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 --name connector ghcr.io/international-data-spaces-association/dataspace-connector:latest

If everything worked fine, the connector is available at https://localhost:8080/. The API can be accessed at https://localhost:8080/api. The Swagger UI can be found at https://localhost:8080/api/docs.

For certain REST endpoints, you will be asked to log in. The default credentials are admin and password. Please take care to change these when deploying and hosting the connector yourself!

For a more detailed explanation of deployment and configurations, see here.

Next, please take a look at our communication guide.

Note: For a more detailed or advanced Docker or Kubernetes deployment, as well as a full setup with the Connector and its GUI, see here. If you want to build and run locally, follow these steps.

Security and Verification

The Docker images are signed using cosign. The public key of the Dataspace Connector can be found at the root of the project structure (here).

For verifying that you have received an official image from a trusted source, run:

cosign verify --key dsc.pub ghcr.io/international-data-spaces-association/dataspace-connector:latest

Software Bill of Material (SBoM)

The Software Bill of Material (SBoM) for every Docker image is supplied as SPDX-JSON and can be found by appending -sbom to the image tag. For example, the SBoM for ghcr.io/international-data-spaces-association/dataspace-connector:latest is ghcr.io/international-data-spaces-association/dataspace-connector:latest-sbom.

The SBoM can be pulled via tools like oras.

oras pull ghcr.io/international-data-spaces-association/dataspace-connector:latest-sbom -a

Note: Also the SBoM images can be validated using cosign as shown above.
