DockerisedQ

A simple way to migrate kdb applications to cloud. This module allows you to run kdb v3.6 on a docker container. This container can be easily moved to any os/environment.
One can find the implementation here

Commands:

  • Clone the repo:
    git clone https://github.com/fabpotato/dockerizedQ.git

  • Install docker (if not already installed): Find details here. Can confirm the install by running docker ps on terminal

  • Build the container:
    cd dockerizedQ
    docker build .

  • Run your freshly built container:
    docker images docker ps -a
    docker run [IMAGE ID]
  • Confirm running docker:
    docker ps
    • docker ps
  • Logging into a docker instance:
    docker exec -it [containerID] /bin/bash
    • docker exec
Note: It also has a kdb standard tick set up by kx under /q/kdb-tick inside the container instance.
