Install Linksight with Docker Compose

The Linksight software can be easily installed with Docker and a Docker Compose file. The software has been tested on Ubuntu, Windows Server (with WSL 2 backend) and MacOS, but should also work on other Unix based distributions.

Components​

The Linksight software consists of two components:

  • Data station: The core where the datasets are managed and protocols are run together with other data stations across organizations.
  • Analysis Hub: The component (frontend and backend) where users interact with the data station and Linksight platform to run data analyses.

Installation Types​

The Linksight software can be installed in two different ways:

  • Supervised (recommended): deploying a "Linksight Supervisor for Docker" container, which connects to the Docker engine, automatically deploys the data station and Analysis Hub containers and allows to manage restarts and software updates through the Analysis Hub (see ).
  • Standalone: deploying the Data station and Analysis Hub containers directly, and managing restart and updates manually through the command line.
