SNIK Container Infrastructure

Docker (compose) setup for the SNIK Graph, SPARQL endpoint and a RickView instance.

Setup

• Run the following script:

git clone git@github.com:snikproject/docker.git
cd docker
git submodule update --init
cp .env.dist .env
docker compose up --build

• We use git submodules for snikproject/ontology and snikproject/graph
• For local testing, add the proxy profile to .env for easier access of components: SNIK Graph at http://localhost/, the SPARQL endpoint at http://localhost/sparql, RickView at http://localhost/ontology/.
• You can customize the .env, for example removing graph the profiles will stop it from starting

Customizing the Ontology

If you want to exclude subontologies from loading or adding triples (e.g. to materialise some property), you need to

• Add its Turtle (.ttl) or N-Triples (.nt) file to the ontology directory here
• The SPARQL endpoint does not load files located in subdirectories of ontology
• Consult the compose file for more detailed information
• Rebuild and restart the container

docker compose down --remove-orphans
docker compose up --build --detach

Updating

git pull
git submodule update
docker compose down --remove-orphans
docker compose up --build --detach
