Python for Knowage - Docker

Question

Hi
I have the docker containers knowagelabs/knowage-server-docker:7.2 and mariadb:10.3 running.
I would like to configure the python widgets. I have seen that there is a dockerfile in the directory
/docker/github/knowage_docker/Knowage-Server-Docker/Knowage-Python-Docker
I have built an image with:

docker build -t "knowagepyton:1.0".

This generates an image.
I have not found documentation to know what to do from here
thank you

Hi,

you're true, we miss an example for integrating both Python and R images with the main image. I've just pushed a commit to let you try and play with Python:

https://github.com/KnowageLabs/Knowage-Server-Docker/commit/b5955a4a2269ee0232b67ca4494fadb2bb1977d4

But I've to tell you that we are working on them because we see some strange behavior: for example, as you will see, the Check Environment button you will see when you create a new Python dataset doesn't work but the preview runs without problem.

Actually, the main image cannot configure itself to use the Python container: you have to set it up on your own. Login on Knowage as biadmin and use the Configuration Management to setup the python.* config: set the url to "http://knowagepython:5000" (where the hostname is the name of the service in the docker-compose.yml).

The next weeks I will probably work on it to automate this.
