Production
Status
As of Dataverse 6.8, when we introduced image tagging per version (see the Supported Image Tags section for the application image), we feel that the images described in this guide are ready for production use. Enjoy!
The images and the documentation is not perfect, of course.
For now, we recommend following the Demo or Evaluation tutorial. It will help you learn how to configure and secure your installation. Not that instead of “latest” you might want to select a specific version. Again see Supported Image Tags.
The Dataverse guides were originally written with a non-Docker installation in mind so we’d like rewrite them with both Docker and non-Docker in mind. This is a big job, obviously. 😅 We know we’d like to write more about ports. We’d like to explain how to set up Rserve. Etc., etc.
To talk about your ideas for making the images and docs better for production, please feel free to join the containers for production topic or join a working group meeting (see Helping with the Containerization Effort).
Limitations
Multiple apps servers are not supported. See Multiple App Servers for more on this topic.
How to Help
Please try the images (see Demo or Evaluation) and give feedback (see Helping with the Containerization Effort)! ❤️
Alternatives
The traditional (non-Docker) installation method is described in the Installation Guide.
