These tutorials can be installed and run locally in a Docker container in just a few minutes. The Docker image contains an interactive Aerospike development environment.

  1. Install Docker.

  2. Get the Docker image.

    docker pull aerospike/intro-notebooks

  3. Run the image and expose port 8888:

    docker run --name aero-nb -p 8888:8888 aerospike/intro-notebooks

  4. Point your browser at the url with token which should be printed on the output. By default it should be:

    http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=<token>

Example:

$ docker run --name aero-nb -p 8888:8888 aerospike/intro-notebooks
