CDM, R, Docker

Hello!

Has anyone experience with docker in research?
I know about Broadsea project.
Can it be used on a CDM DB-server (or another server in the same network)?
What about windows-servers?Can we use Virtual Box on it?

Hi Vladimir,

@lee_evans is point on Broadsea, but in short, yes it allows you to set up a WebAPI using docker. The goal was to simplify installation of WebAPI for those not familiar with building stuff in Eclipse. That said, @Chris_Knoll has recently put together a great installation doc for WebAPI that has really clarified the build process for new folks. And Docker has proven to have a bit of finickiness related to localhosts that has delayed things a bit. Certainly either could be used at present, but if you are familiar with setting up servers and Eclipse, I’d go the traditional route until Broadsea has firmly got its sea legs.

Ok, thx!
I’m thinking about using docker on db server side. This question refers to the task of data sharing (Arache).
I want to use docker to start research (with R), but I do not know anything about the security policies. If data keepers would execute doker container?
