# Aurweb and Docker The `INSTALL` document details a manual Aurweb setup, but Docker images are also provided here to avoid the complications of database configuration (and so forth). ### Setup Naturally, both `docker` and `docker-compose` must be installed, and your Docker service must be started: ```sh systemctl start docker.service ``` The main image - `aurweb` - must be built manually: ```sh docker compose build ``` ### Starting and Stopping the Services With the above steps complete, you can bring up an initial cluster: ```sh docker compose up ``` Subsequent runs will be done with `start` instead of `up`. The cluster can be stopped with `docker compose stop`. ### Testing With a running cluster, execute the following in a new terminal: ```sh docker compose run test ``` ### Generating Dummy Data Before you can make meaningful queries to the cluster, it needs some data. Luckily such data can be generated. ```sh docker compose exec fastapi /bin/bash pacman -S words fortune-mod ./schema/gendummydata.py dummy.sql mysql aurweb < dummy.sql ``` The generation script may prompt you to install other Arch packages before it can proceed. ### Querying the RPC The Fast (Python) API runs on Port 8444. You can query one like so: ```sh curl -k "https://localhost:8444/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=python" ``` `-k` bypasses local certificate issues that `curl` will otherwise complain about.
