What is RethinkDB?

RethinkDB is an open-source, distributed database built to store JSON documents and effortlessly scale to multiple machines. It's easy to set up and learn and features a simple but powerful query language that supports table joins, groupings, aggregations, and functions.

How to use this image

Keeping in mind that this image is syntactically compatible with the main RethinkDB image, it is largely the same and follows the compiling instructions for RaspberryPi. In addition to the RethinkDB server, it also includes the pyton based tools for backing up database, exporting and importing data. It is built on Ubuntu. I had to move away from Alpine due to shifting priorities on dependent packages needed to compile the code.

I have used most of the README and all of the instructions from RethinkDB's DockerHub page. ARM support is still considered experimental - so use at your own discretion.

One addition to this image is the inclusion of the python libraries not present in the official images so you can do backup and restores of databases.

Start an instance with data mounted in the working directory

The default CMD of the image is rethinkdb --bind all, so the RethinkDB daemon will bind to all network interfaces available to the container (by default, RethinkDB only accepts connections from localhost).

docker run --name rethinkdb -p8080:8080 -d -v "$PWD:/data" -d flyingflip/rethinkdb

docker-compose.yml example using network mode

version: '3'
services:
  rethinkdb:
    image: flyingflip/rethinkdb
    container_name: rethinkdb
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped

docker-compose.yml example with port mapping

version: '3'
services:
  rethinkdb:
    image: flyingflip/rethinkdb
    container_name: rethinkdb
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    networks:
      - rethinkdb
    restart: unless-stopped
network:
  rethinkdb: null
