Create EC2 for DSpace Docker

Select Amazon Linux

Select "t2.large" (8G RAM)

A minimum of 5-6 G is required to run DSpace Docker.

By lowering the default JAVA_OPTS memory allocations, it might be possible to run within a "t2.medium" (4G RAM).

Copy the start up script detailed below

This will ensure the docker-compose and git are available.

Create enough storage for docker images and volumes

Make port 8080 and 3000 available

These settings are recommended for testing purposes.

Start up Script

# Update OS software
sudo -n yum -y update

# Install Java 8
sudo -n yum -y install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
sudo -n yum -y remove java-1.7.0-openjdk

# Install Git
sudo -n yum -y install git


# install docker
sudo yum install docker -y

# Start the Docker Service
sudo service docker start

# Add the ec2-user to the docker group so you can execute Docker commands without using sudo.
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

# Install Docker compose
# https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/


sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose


# Clone DSpace-Docker-Images
cd
git clone https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images.git
cd DSpace-Docker-Images/docker-compose-files/dspace-compose
