Windows

Windows is currently not supported as a target deployment platform for Pilosa, but developing and running Pilosa is made possible by Docker. See the Docker documentation for using Docker for Windows and Docker Toolbox.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is currently not supported.

Docker

  1. Install Docker for your platform. On Linux, Docker is available via your package manager. On MacOS, you can use Docker for Mac or Docker Toolbox. On Windows, you can use Docker for Windows or Docker Toolbox.

  2. This step is necessary only if you are using Docker Toolbox, otherwise skip to step 3:

    a. Start the Docker support using docker-machine start in a terminal. The environment variables of the terminal should be updated accordingly, run docker-machine env to display the necessary commands.

    b. Set up port forwarding in the VirtualBox GUI or on the command line. Guest port should be 10101. For the host port, 10101 is recommended. If the VBoxManage command is in your PATH, you can use the following command (assuming you use the default VM):

    VBoxManage modifyvm "default" --natpf1 "pilosa,tcp,,10101,,10101"

  3. Confirm that the Docker daemon is running in the background:

    docker version

    If you are getting a "command not found" or similar, check that docker command is in your path. If you don't see the server listed, start the Docker application.

  4. Pull the official Pilosa image from Docker Hub:

    docker pull pilosa/pilosa:latest

  5. Make sure Pilosa is installed successfully, and make it accessible:

    docker run -d --rm --name pilosa -p 10101:10101 pilosa/pilosa:latest server --bind 0.0.0.0:10101

  6. Check that it is accessible from outside the container.

    Run the following in a separate terminal:

    curl localhost:10101/schema

    If that returns {"indexes":null} or similar, then Pilosa is accessible from outside the container. Otherwise check that you have correctly typed -p 10101:10101 when running the Pilosa container and the port mappings in VirtualBox is correct (Docker Toolbox only).

  7. When you want to terminate the Pilosa container, you can run the following:

    docker stop pilosa
