The main
branch aligns with the main
branch of The Archives Unleashed Toolkit. It can be unstable at times. Stable branches are available for each AUT release.
This is the Docker image for Archives Unleashed Toolkit. AUT documentation can be found here. If you need a hand installing Docker, check out our Docker Install Instructions, and if you want a quick tutorial, check out our Toolkit Lesson.
The Archives Unleashed Toolkit is part of the broader Archives Unleashed Project.
Install the following dependencies:
You can build and run this Docker image locally with the following steps:
git clone https://github.com/archivesunleashed/docker-aut.git
cd docker-aut
docker build -t aut .
docker run --rm -it aut
You can add any Spark flags to the build if you need too.
docker run --rm -it aut /spark/bin/spark-shell --packages "io.archivesunleashed:aut:1.2.1-SNAPSHOT" --conf spark.network.timeout=100000000 --conf spark.executor.heartbeatInterval=6000s
Once the build finishes, you should see:

It is also possible to start an interactive PySpark console. This requires specifying Python bindings and the aut
package, both of which are included in the Docker image under /aut/target
.
To lauch an interactive PySpark console:
docker run --rm -it aut /spark/bin/pyspark --py-files /aut/target/aut.zip --jars /aut/target/aut-1.2.1-SNAPSHOT-fatjar.jar
Once the build finishes you should see:

When the image is running, you will be brought to the Spark Shell interface. Try running the following command.
Type
:paste
And then paste the following script in:
import io.archivesunleashed._
RecordLoader.loadArchives("/aut-resources/Sample-Data/*.gz", sc).webgraph().show(10)
Press Ctrl+D in order to execute the script. You should then see the following:
