dserver demonstrator instance
demo.dtool.dev exposes an open dserver instance as a playground for first steps with the dtool ecosystem.
To populate a local dserver instance with some sample datasets, download the dtool sample family sample-datasets.zip, extract them and run
docker run -v $(pwd)/sample-datasets:/tmp/data:ro -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/livmats/dserver-minimal:latest
from within the folder of extraction. This mounts the freshly extracted local folder sample-datasets into the docker container as a dataset repository. http://localhost:8888 now exposes the dserver web app and lists a family of datasets. http://localhost:8888/lookup/doc/swagger exposes dserver’s interactive REST API documentation.
