Hi, There is currently a thread on dev@jena about considering having an official Jena Fuseki docker image.
As a quick summary about what docker is: Docker https://www.docker.com/ is a Linux Container-based tool which automates software deployment by packaging a virtual root file system with the software pre-installed and (ideally) pre-configured. Official and unofficial docker images are shared and dnwoon the Docker Hub and can be used in a hierarchy (e.g. a Maven image based on a Open JDK image) and network-linked to each other (e.g. a Tomcat image linked to a separate mySQL image) In a Docker-centric world, each application runs as its own container, and are therefore isolated from OS-level changes and any cross-version issues. Docker can be used for developers to quickly get a production-like environment on their desktop, but also used for deployment in production - you can finally ensure you are testing exactly the same software as in prod. While Fuseki 1 required a bit of manual configuration to run, Fuseki 2 can be run 'out of the box', and with its new web interface can even be used without any further configuration, e.g. for playing around with RDF data. It is therefore a prime candidate for a Docker image. There are already a handful of Fuseki images on the Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/search/?q=fuseki&page=1&isAutomated=0&isOfficial=0&starCount=0&pullCount=0 I think it would be beneficial for the Jena community to create an official image, and bring together the strengths of each of these. I think at the core they are all very similar, but vary a bit in their documentation and extensibility. I am not neutral here, I have suggested for Jena to adapt a version of my own approach ( https://hub.docker.com/r/stain/jena-fuseki/ ) -- but would love to get a desiderata for a Fuseki Docker image - and also hear from any of the other Fuseki Docker guys so we can know which approach Jena should take - if any. It might also be interesting to have a Jena command line Docker image, e.g. with riot and the other bin/ tools. I would propose that to be a separate image which is just for command line usage. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons RDF (incubating) http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
