CKAN is a powerful data management system that makes data accessible – by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. CKAN is a key component consumed by the PDND project.

PDND stays for "Piattaforma Digitale Nazionale Dati" (the Italian Digital Data Platform), previously known as Data & Analytics Framework (DAF).

You can find more informations about the PDND on the official Digital Transformation Team website.

In this repository, CKAN and its related tools are redistributed as a set of Docker containers interacting with one each other.

The dockerfile and the docker-compose.yaml files are in the root of this repository.

To build the local test environment (build the CKAN container and download dependencies) run:

docker-compose up -d

NOTE: the docker-compose.yaml file sets different environment variables that could be used to adapt and customized many platform functionalities.

Then, access the CKAN GUI in a browser at http://localhost:5000.

The following default credentials can be used to access the portal

Username: ckanadmin
Password: ckanpassword

NOTE: Credentials should be changed after the first login.

To bring down the test environment and remove the containers use

docker-compose down
