We do not know the password for the database’s root user, as it was auto-generated inside the container.Even though it exposed two services on ports 24 they are not visible outside of the container.Let’s celebrate!! …or not?Įven though we have a database running in our very first container, there is no easy way to access it right now: It was downloaded from the orientdb repository hosted by public registry called Docker Hub. Yay, out of nowhere our first container is running! Or for all the purists among us: “ Yay, our first container is up and the command to start OrientDB server is running!” There is a difference between these two statements, but we will get into details later.Īnd this first container did not came from nowhere. If you have never ran it before, then you should see the output similar to this. I assume you have access to Docker and it has access to the Internet (as described in the previous post). Without further ado, let’s run our first container! It is one of Top 3 databases to process graph data accordingly to. And its community edition is an open source. Never heard about OrientDB so far? Well, it is about time! OrientDB is “ the DBMS supporting Graph, Document, Reactive, Full-Text, Geospatial and Key-Value models in one Multi-Model database“. Our first toy: OrientDBįor our initial experiments with Docker we will play with the community edition of OrientDB. If you are using Kitematic and would like to share your experience or tips&tricks with it, please share a link to your content in comments.
Use kitematic to link containers series#
Through the rest of the series we will focus mostly on command line tools. In its current alpha version it is pretty much useless for what we want to do here, so let’s forget about it in the context of the current blog. It is called Kitematic and its Alpha version is part of Docker Desktop installation. If you used VM hypervisors on your computer, then I should assume you used an application with graphical UI - like VMware Player - to manage, configure, start or stop your virtual machines.Īt the time of writing this post, the Docker Desktop is at the version 2.1 and comes with such a UI application as well. Along the way we will clarify differences between traditional VMs and containers. Even if you haven’t worked with containers yet you might have heard that “ containers are like light-weight virtual machines“.Īnd that’s the way we are going to use them at the beginning too.
