Apache Airflow + CWL-Airflow in Docker with Optional Conda and R

Prerequisites

NB: The docker-compose.yaml in this project uses profiles and therefore requires docker-compose utility version 1.29+

Installation

Deployment Guide provides detailed information about deployment options and custom configurations.

Howto provides a list of required and optional steps that should be performed during the deployment.

Installation of CWL-Airflow on a dedicated host is relatively simple and is by and large covered by the Quick Start section below.

Advanced options are described in the Configuration Guide

If the host where you are installing CWL-Airflow is shared with other applications, especially those, using PostgreSQL, you should carefully read Howto and Configuration Guide

After you have deployed CWL-Airflow, test it with the included examples.

You should be aware of some useful commands.

Quick Start

If you have a clean VM, where you want to install CWL-Airflow without any customizations, just issue the following commands:

Without Conda

The simplest configuration without Conda:

git clone https://github.com/ForomePlatform/airflow-cwl-docker.git
cd airflow-cwl-docker
git submodule update --init --recursive
cp .env_example_postgres_noconda .env
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain docker-compose --env-file ./.env build
mkdir -p ./dags && cp -rf ./project/examples/* ./dags
docker-compose --env-file ./.env up -d

The whole process, when using a stable Internet connection should take from 5 to 20 minutes depending on your Internet speed.

You can test the installation as described in Testing the installation section. The first two examples should run in both command-line mode and in Airflow UI. The third example requires Conda.

With Conda

If you need to use CWL-Airflow in Conda environment, then instead of

cp .env_example_postgres_noconda .env

use

cp .env_example_postgres_conda .env

Please note, that Conda installation might take about an hour.

Full sequence of commands to copy and paste:

git clone https://github.com/ForomePlatform/airflow-cwl-docker.git
cd airflow-cwl-docker
git submodule update --init --recursive
cp .env_example_postgres_conda .env
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain docker-compose --env-file ./.env build
mkdir -p ./dags && cp -rf ./project/examples/* ./dags
docker-compose --env-file ./.env up -d

You can test the installation as described in Testing the installation section. All three examples should run in both command-line mode and in Airflow UI.

Testing

Testing is described in the Test Guide.
