Stand-alone Reactome Content service

content-service.dockerfile can be used to build a stand-alone docker image that contains everything necessary to run Reactome's ContentService.

Because the ContentService relies on a number of other Reactome components, those will need to be built first.

The images that this image depends on are:

• graphdb
• solr
• diagrams
• fireworks
• mysql

Once these images have been built locally, you can build the ContentService. This is as simple as:

docker build -t reactome/stand-alone-content-service:R71 -f content-service.dockerfile .

(Replace "R71" with a tag that is reflective of the version you are working with).

Run this as:

docker run --name reactome-content-service -p 8888:8080 reactome/stand-alone-content-service:R71

Access in you browser: http://localhost:8888/ContentService - this will let you see the various services.

It is more useful to interact with the ContentService programmatically. To use it from the command-line:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8888/ContentService/data/complex/R-HSA-5674003/subunits?excludeStructures=false" -H "accept: application/json"

For exporter endpoints which return PDF files or images, be sure to use "--output FILE" with curl. For example:

curl --output R-HSA-177929_event.PDF -X GET "http://localhost:8888/ContentService/exporter/document/event/R-HSA-177929.pdf?level%20%5B0%20-%201%5D=1&diagramProfile=Modern&resource=total&analysisProfile=Standard" -H "accept: application/pdf"
