Start Ditto
In order to start Ditto, you’ll need:
- a running Docker daemon (at least version 18.06 CE),
- Docker Compose installed (at least version 1.22),
- the built Docker images of Ditto
- either by building them as described in Building Ditto,
- or by using the pre-built Ditto images on Docker Hub.
# switch to the deployment/docker/ directory:
cd deployment/docker/
docker-compose up -d
Check the logs after starting up:
docker-compose logs -f
You have now running:
- a MongoDB as backing datastore of Ditto (not part of Ditto but started via Docker),
- Ditto microservices:
- Policies,
- Things,
- Thing-Search,
- Gateway,
- an instance of nginx acting as a reverse proxy performing a simple “basic authentication” listening on port
8080- including some static HTTP + API documentation on http://localhost:8080.
Stop Ditto
This command stops the Ditto stack without removing the data from MongoDB database.
docker-compose stop
After executing this command, Ditto can be started again:
docker-compose start
Destroy Ditto stack
For removing the stack and clearing the MongoDB completely, execute:
docker-compose down
