This package provides container images and Docker compose files, for running AiiDA as a multi-container application.
This approach is an alternative to the current aiidateam/aiida-core image, which packages all services into one container. Although this works and has some benefits, it does diverge from a central design principle of docker containers:
"One service per container"
The reasons for this are outlined here and here. Some specific benefits are that:
- The responsibility for constructing/maintaining working RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL services are transferred to the official builds.
- You can swap-in any RabbitMQ/PostgreSQL versions, without requiring a new core image.
- The size of the core image is greatly reduced:

First spin-up the docker system:
$ cd compose/basic
$ docker-compose up -d

You will now have three containers running and connected over a private networks:
$ docker-compose ps

aiida-core /sbin/my_init Up
aiida-database docker-entrypoint.sh postgres Up 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp

$ docker volume list
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local aiida-object-store
local aiida-postgres-db
local aiida-rmq-dataThe postgres database is exposed to the localhost and can be accessed by:
$ psql postgres -h localhost -p 5432 -U pguser -c "\l"

(4 rows)You can also inspect the RabbitMQ process, using the browser based app at http://localhost:15672/.
To create an AiiDA profile (populating the aiida-postgres-db and aiida-object-store),
login to the core container then:
$ docker exec -it --user aiida aiida-core /bin/bash
aiida@951715c4ed5b:~$ verdi status
✓ config dir: /home/aiida/.aiida
aiida@951715c4ed5b:~$ verdi quicksetup --config aiida-configs/aiida-qsetup-conf.yml -n
Success: created new profile `default`.

Multi-stage build caching:
-
could potentially wait until database, rabbitmq ready, either
- netstat -an | grep 5672 > /dev/null; if [ 0 != $? ]; then echo 1; fi;
- nc -vz database 5432 | grep open && nc -vz messaging 5672 | grep open
-
use secrets for injecting ssh keys? https://medium.com/@francesco.camillini/inject-ssh-private-key-securely-into-a-docker-container-8403b72ab9e3
-
timezones in aiida-core could maybe be improved (need to be set for tzlocal to work)
