OMERO.server websockets with SSL (docker-compose)

This is an example of running OMERO.server with websockets, Nginx, and SSL.

You can connect to OMERO.server using the OMERO API in Python in the following ways:

• OMERO.server ssl (4064): localhost, ssl://localhost, ssl://localhost:4064
• OMERO.server wss (4066): wss://localhost:4066
• Nginx http websockets (8080, not recommended since it's unencrypted but included for demo purposes): ws://localhost:8080/omero-wss
• Nginx https websockets (8443): wss://localhost:8443/omero-wss

Run

First pull the latest major versions of the containers:

docker-compose pull

Generate self-signed certificates (only needs to be run the first time):

docker-compose -f docker-compose.icessl.yml -f docker-compose.yml run icessl

Run OMERO:

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

Basic tests

docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml -f docker-compose.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml -f docker-compose.yml run test

SELinux

If SELinux is enabled you may need to change the context on host directories, for example by creating a .env file containing:

VOLOPTS=,z
