Windows

Running NemesisDB with Docker is required on Windows. You can try the Debian package with WSL2 but this is not supported.

This is similar to Linux except:

  • --network host is not available
  • Read-only volume mount is not available

Pull​

docker pull nemesisdb/nemesisdb:latest

Confirm:

docker images
REPOSITORY            TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE
nemesisdb/nemesisdb   0.3.2     6c2973cf3e57   5 hours ago    17.9MB

Start - Default Config​

The default config, included in the image, starts the server on 0.0.0.0:1987 so it is available from the host at 127.0.0.1:1987.

Start with:

docker run --rm -d -p 1987:1987  --name test1 nemesisdb/nemesisdb:latest

Start - Custom Config​

We need to create a network, mount a volume and pass the config file path:

Create a network on the 192.168.1.x range:

docker network create --subnet 192.168.1.0/16 my-net

Start with:

docker run --rm -d --network=my-net --ip=192.168.1.111 -v ./server/configs:/configs --name test1 nemesisdb/nemesisdb:latest --config=./configs/config.json
  • The config file has "kv" : {"ip":"192.168.1.111"} set which is within the range of our my-net we just created
  • -v mounts as <hostpath>:<containerpath> , so our host has a config file in ./server/configs
  • The path passed to the container is ./configs because that's where it was mounted in the -v

Stop​

docker stop test1
