Building a Docker image for SWI-Prolog Pengines

Clone this repo to get the Dockerfile, then build with the following command, which tags the image as 'pengines'.

docker build -t pengines .

The image takes a few minute to build, as Pengines requires a recent SWI-Prolog that needs to be build from source on Linux.

Once the image is built, launch a Pengines container as follows, which will start on port 3030 of the container, mapped to the host. The Dockerfile sets credentials for the admin section to both username and password of 'admin'.

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:3030:3030 -t pengines

If you'd like to interact with the Pengines server, run it interactively:

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:3030:3030 -i -t pengines

You may also prefer to use --rm to ensure the container is removed when stopped, since it maps to the 3030 port on the host.

docker run --rm -p 0.0.0.0:3030:3030 -i -t pengines

By the way, if you are running it interactively, use halt. to stop the server.

?- halt.
