The Dataverse community is exploring the use of Docker, Kubernetes, and other container-related technologies.

Container Guide

We recommend starting with the Container Guide. The core Dataverse development team, with lots of help from the community, is iterating on containerizing the Dataverse software and its dependencies there.

Help Containerize Dataverse

If you would like to contribute to the containerization effort, please consider joining the Containerization Working Group.

Community-Lead Projects

The primary community-lead projects (which the core team is drawing inspiration from!) are:

https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-docker
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-kubernetes (especially the https://github.com/EOSC-synergy/dataverse-kubernetes fork)

Deprecated Projects

The Testing section mentions using docker-aio for integration tests. We do not plan to keep this project alive.

Using Containers for Reproducible Research

Please see Research Code in the User Guide for this related topic.
