A RockyLinux 9 based Docker image for OMERO.server. The administrator account is named "root" with a
default password of "omero". This can be changed by setting the ROOTPASS
environment variable.
Also see SUPPORT.md
The omero-deployment-examples repository contains a number of different ways of deployment OMERO. Unless you are looking for something specific, we suggest starting with docker-example-omero.
To run the Docker images start a postgres DB:
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres
Then run OMERO.server passing the database configuration parameters if they differ from the defaults.
This example uses the default postgres
system database for convenience, in practice you may want to create your own database.
docker run -d --name omero-server --link postgres:db \
-e CONFIG_omero_db_user=postgres \
-e CONFIG_omero_db_pass=postgres \
-e CONFIG_omero_db_name=postgres \
-e ROOTPASS=omero-root-password \
-p 4063:4063 -p 4064:4064 \
openmicroscopy/omero-server
All OMERO configuration properties can be set be defining environment variables CONFIG_omero_property_name=
.
Since .
is not allowed in a variable name .
must be replaced by _
, and _
by __
, for example
-e CONFIG_omero_web_public_enabled=false
Additional configuration files for OMERO can be provided by mounting files into /opt/omero/server/config/
.
Files ending with .omero
will be loaded with omero load
.
For example:
docker run -d -v
/config/extra.omero:/opt/omero/server/config/extra.omero:ro
openmicroscopy/omero-server
Parameters required for initializing the server such as database configuration must be set using environment variables.
/opt/omero/server/OMERO.server/var
: The OMERO.server var
directory, including logs/OMERO
: The OMERO data directorydocker volume create --name omero-db
docker volume create --name omero-data
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
-v omero-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres
docker run -d --name omero-server --link postgres:db
<-e CONFIG_omero_db_ ...>
-v omero-data:/OMERO
-p 4063:4063 -p 4064:4064 openmicroscopy/omero-server
As an alternative to running with --link
the address of the database can be specified using the variable CONFIG_omero_db_host
