VoyantServer - Docker

This image provides VoyantServer and lets you host your own version of http://voyant-tools.org.

Running

Fire up docker, mapping cotainer port 8080 to host port 8080.

$ docker run -d --name voyant -p 8080:8080 sepastian/voyant-docker:latest

You can now access Voyant tools on your local machine at http://localhost:8080/voyant.

Nginx

Next is an example configuration of Nginx to forward requests to your.server.com/voyant to http://localhost:8080/voyant. This may come in handy if you want to serve Voyant tools to a broader public, on port 80 (HTTP) instead of port 8080 (which may be blocked by your firewall).

Note: the path /voyant cannot be changed, because Tomcat has been configured to serve the Voyant app there. You are free to substitute any valid URL for your.server.com.

# /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default, normally a symlink to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

server {
    server_name your.server.com;
  
    # more options
  
    location /voyant {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/voyant;
    }

    # other paths/sites.
}

Restart Nginx with

sudo service nginx restart
