Many DSpace stakeholders are not developers. If it was easier to deploy a snapshot instance of DSpace to the cloud, these stakeholders could play a more active role in system testing.
Deployment Options
The following grid documents some of the potential ways DSpace Docker images could be deployed. Currently, only the first option is supported by the published DSpace images.
This grid has been designed to help recommend how our images will need to evolve to support multiple deployment options.
| Deployment Options | Uptime | Persistence | CLI Access | Notes | Changes needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local workstation/test server deployment with Docker Compose - single node | Limited Duration for Testing | Docker Compose Volumes | docker exec | https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images | |
| Server deployment with Docker Compose - single node (shell access to server and network drives) | Extended Availability | Docker Compose Volumes bound to file system storage | SSH + docker exec | Dockerfiles Insert custom dspace.cfg settings into distrib | |
| Docker swarm options | Extended Availability | https://docs.docker.com/v17.09/get-started/part6/ | |||
