gstudio-docker

Docker file for gstudio

To build the docker image, we need to clone the project in your docker host, and run the script build-docker.sh. This script clones the gstudio code and builds the image. After cloning the gstudio-docker, download and install the static javascript depedencies from http://gnowledge.org/~nagarjun/bower_components.tar.gz. unzip the contents of this file in the project directory before starting the buuild-docker.sh script.

The image uses Ubuntu 14.04, django, nginx, mongodb, and several code dependent python libraries and OS level libraries. The image builds to about 1.6GB.

Under development

Building the Image

Build the image by running "build-docker.sh" script from the project directory after cloning the project files. If you are re-building the image, delete the 'gstudio' directory to get the fresh updates from gstudio project.
