Deploying WDS API Server in Docker

Run WDS quickly in a single Docker container using the Solidstack service — ideal for local trials and small tests.
The API Server listens on port 2807 and is available at http://localhost:2807.

IMPORTANT! This deployment has no docs service, so please use the documentation on the official webdatasource website

IMPORTANT! This deployment has no playground service, so the examples from this documentation will not work.

Docker

To make use of this deployment type docker is needed to be installed locally. Use the following command to check if it’s already installed:

docker version

the result should be like this:

Client:
 Version: <version>
...
 Engine:
  Version: <version>

If the result shows that docker is not installed please review installation documentation on its official website
