Installation - Docker

GridDB Server Container

To run GridDB server, you can simply pull from Dockerhub

$ docker network create griddb-net
$ docker pull griddbnet/griddb

We first create a Docker network to allow our application container to easily communicate with our GridDB container.

Now run your GridDB server:

$  docker run --network griddb-net --name griddb-server -d -t griddbnet/griddb

Nodejs Application Container

As an example of using GridDB with an application in a docker container, we have prepared here a node.js application container which communicates directly with the griddb-server container.

You can build the image and then run pretty easily:

$ docker pull griddbnet/griddb-react-crud
$ docker run --network griddb-net --name griddbnet/griddb-react-crud -p 2828:2828 -d -t griddbnet/griddb-react-crud

And now if you navigate to http://localhost:2828 you will the see full app running.

If you're curious as to how these containers work, you can read this [blog] (https://griddb.net/en/blog/improve-your-devops-with-griddb-server-and-client-docker-containers/).

Full information regarding this nodejs application can be found here: CRUD Operations with the GERN Stack (opens new window)

Next Steps

Once you have GridDB running on your machine you can verify by running docker ps. To dig further, you can run a gs_stat on your running GridDB Server container:

$ docker exec -it griddb-server gs_stat -u admin/admin

Using the format above, you can run any commands against your GridDB container. If you want to drop into the bash shell of your GridDB container:

$ docker exec -it griddb-server /bin/bash

You can also drop directly into the GridDB CLI (GridDB Shell) like so:

$ docker exec -it griddb-server gs_sh
