Docker image for setting up janus graph with Dynamo db for backend

This is docker image for running graph database JanusGraph using Amazon DynamoDB as scalable storage backend. This uses the aswlabs project for Amazon DynamoDB Storage Backend For JanusGraph

Creating docker image

docker build -t <image_name> .

Running the image

docker run -it --network=bridge -p <gremlin_server_ws_port>:8182 -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<AWS_ACCESS_KEY> -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY> -e EC2_ZONE= -e DYNAMO_PREFIX= <image_name>

This will create a docker instance which will be hosting janusgraph webscoket port at gremlin_server_ws_port on the host machine.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID : AWS access key for the account with dynamo db write access (mandatory)
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY : AWS secret key for account (mandtory)
• EC2_ZONE (optional) : ec2 availability zone for the Dynamo DB. Default value is us-east-1
