Helium Docker

This is the Docker Compose configuration for BAID's website, Helium.

Get Started

The Docker Compose configuration is intended to be run in production. For development, please check WebArtistryBAID/helium and WebArtistryBAID/decorative-image-classifier.

• Clone this repository.
• Run git submodule update --init --recursive.
• Move .env.example to .env and fill the environment variables accordingly.
• Run docker-compose up -d.
• You're ready to start!

Caveat

• Unfortunately, we had to hardcode X-Forwarded-Proto to be https because of a weird production environment setup. This may cause issues on your end.
• The decorative image classifier service runs alongside Helium to classify images in news articles into contentful and decorative.
