Alternative Install 🔗

Build From Sources 🔗

If you prefer building the OpenMOLE application from sources you can do so as explained here.

Run in Docker 🔗

You can run OpenMOLE using a Docker container published on the Docker Hub. Running OpenMOLE using Docker images facilitates the execution of multiple instances of OpenMOLE on different ports, possibly with different versions. It also facilitates the automatic restart of OpenMOLE or its update for a newer version.
You can run it using docker or docker-compose. In order to use the latter, follow these steps:

• install docker-compose: follow the docker documentation to install it on your system,
• create a docker-compose.yml file in a directory containing the information found on the Docker Hub,
• edit the docker-compose.yml file as explained below,
• pull the docker image by running sudo docker-compose pull,
• start the docker image by running sudo docker-compose up -d,
• stop the docker image by running sudo docker-compose down,
• monitor the docker image by running sudo docker-compose top, sudo docker-compose ps, or sudo docker-compose logs -t.

In general, report to the docker-compose documentation and your favorite search engine to solve your problems.

The following docker-compose configuration runs the version ${org.openmole.core.buildinfo.version.value} OpenMOLE. It displays the OpenMOLE web user interface on port 55555, and mounts the local directory ./data/openmole as the directory for OpenMOLE settings and results. It also restarts automatically on failure.

version: "3"

services:
  openmole:
    image: openmole/openmole:12.0
    hostname: openmole
    volumes:
      - ./data/openmole:/var/openmole/
    ports:
      - "55555:8080"
    privileged: true
    restart: on-failure:100000

To set some OpenMOLE parameters (for instance an http proxy) you can do:

version: "3"

services:
  openmole:
    image: openmole/openmole:12.0
    hostname: mymachinenetworkname.mydomain.org
    command: openmole-docker --proxy http://myproxy.mydomain.org:3128
    volumes:
      - ./data/openmole:/var/openmole/
    ports:
      - "55555:8080"
    privileged: true
    restart: on-failure:100000
