Components:

NOTICE: Due to docker.hub.io not allowing free hosting anymore, you have to make your local build including the parent images:

Build

You can build your own image locally.

./build.sh

Run (recommended for easy-start)

Image is pulled from openksb/knime-docker

./run.sh

Where are workspace and data?

  • The "./run.sh" will create and map the container's data and workspace directories to the host's directory as below (unless you change ./.env configuration).
  • You can copy source data or projects/workflow to these two directory and the KNIME Studio inside the container will have direct access to the files you just copy.
$HOME/data-docker/knime-docker
├── data
└── workspace
    └── Example Workflows
        ├── Basic Examples
        ├── Customer Intelligence
        ├── Retail
        ├── Social Media
        ├── TheData
        └── workflowset.meta

And, "docker-compose" will use the current git project directory's "./workspace" to map the container's /home/developer/workspace:

./.eclipse
./workspace

Note: You can copy your KNIME workflow project in and out the workspaces and it is directly mapped into the container's /home/developer/workspace.
