CLIFF Docker

The official Docker image for the CLIFF-CLAVIN geolocation software.

Note: CLAVIN, and by extension CLIFF, is very memory hungry due to the geonames index. To properly run, a minimum of 4GB of RAM is necessary. Any less and you'll experience errors.

Building the Image

Build using

docker build -t cliff:2.6.1 .

Running the Image

It is setup to use the default port of 8080. Run using

docker run -p "8080:8080" -d cliff:2.6.1

You can test it at a URL like:

http://localhost:8080/cliff-2.6.1/parse/text?q=This%20is%20some%20text%20about%20New%20York%20City,%20and%20maybe%20about%20Accra%20as%20well,%20and%20maybe%20Boston%20as%20well.
