PASS Docker

Developer-focused PASS runtime, which provides the PASS project and all of its dependent services using docker-compose. PASS Docker provides Docker images that can be used for running PASS in different environments including a local test instance and production.

Technologies Utilized

Local Test Environment

The demo yml file describes an early system meant to demonstrate new technologies and services that are available in PASS.

Running A Local Test Instance of PASS

In order to run a local test instance of the PASS project using Docker Compose you need to specify the correct yml file and the correct env file.

Run Without Deposit Services

In order to run a local instance without deposit-service, ftp, and dspace, you can run the following command:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f eclipse-pass.local.yml up -d --no-build --quiet-pull --pull always

Run With Deposit Services and DSpace

In order to run a local instance with deposit-service, ftp, dspace, you can run the following command:

docker compose -p pass-docker -f docker-compose.yml -f eclipse-pass.local.yml -f docker-compose-deposit.yml -f docker-compose-dspace.yml up -d --no-build --quiet-pull --pull always

Testing DSpace Integration with the a Local Test Instance of PASS

Run the following to create a test admin user in dspace:

docker compose -p pass-docker -f dspace-cli.yml run --rm dspace-cli create-administrator -e test@test.edu -f admin -l user -p admin -c en

Run the following to load sample data into dspace:

docker compose -p pass-docker -f dspace-cli.yml -f dspace-cli.ingest.yml run --rm dspace-cli

Run With Deposit Services and InvenioRDM

In order to run a local instance with deposit-service, ftp, InvenioRDM, you can run the following command:

Refer to PASS Docker Testing InvenioRDM for instructions managing a local test InvenioRDM instance that will communicate with pass-docker.

First, start the local test InvenioRDM and add the Access token to the appropriate env file by following the steps highlighted in PASS Docker Testing InvenioRDM.

After the InvenioRDM service is up and running, run the following commands in the pass-docker directory:

docker compose -p pass-docker -f docker-compose.yml -f eclipse-pass.local.yml -f docker-compose-deposit.yml -f docker-compose-deposit-invenio-rdm.yml up -d --no-build --quiet-pull --pull always

Stopping a Local Instance

In order to stop a local instance, you can run the following command:

docker compose -p pass-docker down -v

Note the -v to remove the volumes, this is critical so on subsequent starts, user data is not duplicated.

Services

idp

This service runs a Shibboleth Identity Provider using an image from InCommon Trusted Access Platform Library. Configuration files in the image are overridden on startup by using files in idp/. This service is intended for testing only.

Environment variables

  • IDP_HOST=http://localhost:9080

  • SP_LOGIN=http://localhost:8080/login/saml2/sso/pass

Separately there is a non-container environment variable IDP_INTERNAL_PORT which is used to set the internal port on the IDP container to which 9080 maps. The default is 8080. This can be used to make 9080 support https by setting it to 4443 in the docker compose environment. One way to do this is by adding IDP_INTERNAL_PORT=4443 to the docker compose command. Note that -e should not be used because it is for container environment variables.

ldap

This service runs the 389 Directory Server which is a LDAP server. It is used by the IDP as a source of information on users. The users in ldap/pass.ldif are loaded on startup.This service is intended for testing only.

pass-core

Presents a JSON:API window to the backend from behind the authentication layer. Swagger is not currently implemented and as a result it is unreachable. This service provides data and web APIs to the application. This service supports SAML and HTTP basic authentication.

Environment variables

  • PASS_CORE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 : Used when generating JSON API relationship links. Needs to be absolute and must change to match deployment environment

  • PASS_CORE_POSTGRES_PORT=5432

  • PASS_CORE_BACKEND_USER=backend

  • PASS_CORE_BACKEND_PASSWORD=backend

  • PASS_CORE_APP_LOCATION=http://pass-ui:81/app/ : Resource location of pass ui resources

  • PASS_CORE_APP_CSP=default-src 'self'; : Content Security Policy header value

  • PASS_CORE_IDP_METADATA=http://idp:8080/idp/shibboleth : Resource location of IDP metadata

  • PASS_CORE_SP_ID=https://sp.pass/shibboleth : Identifier of pass-core as an SP

  • PASS_CORE_SP_KEY=file:///path/key : Resource location of SP key

  • PASS_CORE_SP_CERT=file:///path/cert : Resource location of SP certificate

  • PASS_CORE_LOGOUT_SUCCESS=/app/ : Location user is redirected after logout

  • PASS_CORE_LOGOUT_DELETE_COOKIES="JSESSIONID /,shib_idp_session /idp" : Cookies to delete on logout, "name path" separated by commas.

  • POSTGRES_USER=postgres

  • POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres

  • JDBC_DATABASE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/pass

  • JDBC_DATABASE_USERNAME=pass

  • JDBC_DATABASE_PASSWORD=moo

  • PASS_CORE_FILE_SERVICE_TYPE=S3

  • PASS_CORE_S3_BUCKET_NAME=passcorefilestest

  • PASS_CORE_S3_ENDPOINT=http://localstack:4566

postgres

A standard PostgreSQL database server with minimum modifications. This service's only interaction is with the pass-core service.

pass-ui

User interface for the PASS application. PASS-UI currently does not handle environment variables nicely, as a result environmental variables are baked into images at build time. The environment variables in the local test environment should not need to be adjusted between different deployment environments.

Environment variables

  • PASS_UI_PORT=81

  • PASS_API_NAMESPACE=data

  • PASS_UI_ROOT_URL=/app

  • STATIC_CONFIG_URL=/app/config.json

  • DOI_SERVICE_URL=/doiservice/journal

  • MANUSCRIPT_SERVICE_LOOKUP_URL=/downloadservice/lookup

  • MANUSCRIPT_SERVICE_DOWNLOAD_URL=/downloadservice/download

  • POLICY_SERVICE_POLICY_ENDPOINT=/policyservice/policies

  • POLICY_SERVICE_REPOSITORY_ENDPOINT=/policyservice/repositories

  • SCHEMA_SERVICE_URL=/schemaservice

  • USER_SERVICE_URL=/pass-user-service/whoami

loader

A lightweight Docker image that performs a curl command in order to bootstrap the environment with data from demo_data.json

Running Acceptance Tests

There is a small set of end-to-end smoke tests that can run against this environment for some validation of changes. These tests run automatically for new PRs that are opened against main, but they can also be run locally. In order to do this, first clone the repository with the tests.

Once you have the repository cloned, wait for the Docker Compose environment to start up and initialize. Once the Docker Composer environment is initialized run the tests directly. Run the following command from within the pass-acceptance-testing directory:

yarn            # Installs project dependencies
yarn run test   # Runs tests
