Nuts and Bolts

The docker-compose.yml file in this repository defines a set of containers that work together to provide a complete Open MCT environment. The containers are:

  • openmct - Builds the Open MCT web application into a shared volume (and quits)
  • couchdb - The CouchDB database used by Open MCT to persist objects created by the operator.
  • yamcs - The YAMCS telemetry & commanding server used by Open MCT to retrieve telemetry data.
  • simulator - A simple python simulator that generates telemetry data for YAMCS to serve.
  • apache - The Apache HTTP server used to serve the Open MCT web application, and to proxy requests to YAMCS and CouchDB.

Hosted websites are available at the following URLs:
