sakai-docker

Docker container for the stable version of Sakai v12.

This project exists to help with testing of the Hypothesis LMS integration in Sakai.

Installation requires Docker Compose.

Setup

First, run a Git submodule update to fetch/update the source code for Sakai.

git submodules update --init

To build the Docker image for Sakai and launch containers for Sakai and MySQL, run:

docker-compose up

The first time this command is run the Docker image for Sakai will be built, which can take 10 minutes or more. Additionally when the Sakai starts for the first time it will spend several minutes initializing.

Logging into Sakai

Once the Sakai container image has been built and the container is created, you can access Sakai by browsing to http://localhost:8080/portal.

The default admin user is admin and the password is admin.

8. Register a new LMS application instance at https://hypothes.is/welcome and enter the launch URL, and consumer key and secret in Sakai.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems building or running the Docker container on macOS, you may need to increase the memory allowance for Docker Engine up from the default of 2GB to 3GB or more.

This can be done in the "Advanced" section of Docker for Mac's Preferences UI.
