In this page you will find our recommended way of installing Docker on your machine. This guide is made for OSX users.
First install Docker using Homebrew
$ brew install docker
You can then install Docker Desktop if you wish, or use docker-machine
. As we prefer the second option, we will only document this one.
Install docker-machine
$ brew install docker-machine
Then install VirtualBox with Homebrew Cask to get a driver for your Docker machine
$ brew cask install virtualbox
You may need to enter your password and authorize the application in your System Settings
> Security & Privacy
.
Create now a new machine, set it up as default and connect your shell to it (here we use zsh. The commands should anyway be displayed in each steps' output)
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
$ docker-machine env default
$ eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
Now you're all setup to use our provided Docker image!
docker build -t algoliasearch-django .
You need to provide a few environment variables at runtime to be able to run the image and the test suite.
docker run -it --rm --env ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID=XXXXXX \
--env ALGOLIA_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
-v $PWD:/code -w /app algoliasearch-django bash
However, we advise you to export them. That way, you can use Docker's shorten syntax to set your variables.
export ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID=XXXXXX
export ALGOLIA_API_KEY=XXX
docker run -it --rm --env ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID --env ALGOLIA_API_KEY -v $PWD:/code -w /code algoliasearch-django bash
Once your container is running, any changes you make in your IDE are directly reflected in the container.
To launch the tests, you can use this command
tox -e py36-django31
If you'd like to sue an env other that py36-django31
, run tox --listenvs
to see the list of available envs.
