Nuts and Bolts

The docker-compose.yml file in this repository defines a set of containers that work together to provide a complete Open MCT environment. The containers are:

• openmct - Builds the Open MCT web application into a shared volume (and quits)
• couchdb - The CouchDB database used by Open MCT to persist objects created by the operator.
• yamcs - The YAMCS telemetry & commanding server used by Open MCT to retrieve telemetry data.
• simulator - A simple python simulator that generates telemetry data for YAMCS to serve.
• apache - The Apache HTTP server used to serve the Open MCT web application, and to proxy requests to YAMCS and CouchDB.

Hosted websites are available at the following URLs:

• The OpenMCT web application is served from http://localhost:8040
• The YAMCS web application is served from http://localhost:8040/yamcs
• The Apache server status is served from http://localhost:8040/server-status
• The CouchDB web application is served from http://localhost:8040/couchdb/_utils (with username admin and password password)
