Installation

Docker

We use a slightly modified version of the official Ubiq. One reason for this is that the original was not equipped with a corresponding Docker file. The other reason is that we had to add some functions to the original Ubiq. Now there is also an official docker build variant, which is why we want to integrate ubiq directly in a new version.

git clone https://github.com/texttechnologylab/ubiq.git
cd Node
docker build -t ubiq .
docker run -p 8009:8009 ubiq
# (docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 8009:8009 ubiq)
