Running solution locally in Docker

If you intend to try running project yourself, I have put together a pipeline.yml configuration that can help you get started.

Calling the following command

docker-compose -f pipeline.yml up

will:

• Start openfda-producer container
• Start zookeper container
• Start kafka container
• Start mongodb container
• Start openfda-consumer container
• Start openfda-live-dashboard container which will expose port 8050
• Start jupyter-notebook container which will expose port 8888

Accessing the application

Once all your Docker containers are up and running you can access openfda-live-dashaboard web dashboard via a browser under the following URL:

http://localhost:8050

In addition, you can access Jupyter Notebook jupyter-notebook via a browser under the following URL:
