- OPTIONAL: Create migrations:
- After changing a model you will need to create migrations and apply them. Migrations are python code that changes either the structure or the data of a database. This will compare the django models on disk to the database, find the differences, and create migration code to change the database. If there are no changes this command is a noop.
docker compose run --rm web python3 manage.py makemigrations

This will compare the django models on disk to the database, find the differences, and create migration code to change the database. If there are no changes this command is a noop.
- OPTIONAL: Destroy and recreate an empty database:
- WARNING: This will delete all data in your database.
docker compose run --rm web python3 manage.py reset_db --noinput
- WARNING: This will delete all data in your database.
If you want to debug your changes by using print statements, you'll have to have to set your container's environment variable PYTHONUNBUFFERED to 0. You can do this two ways:
- Edit your container configuration in docker-compose.mfr.env or docker-compose.mfr.env to include the new environment variable by uncommenting PYTHONUNBUFFERED=0
- If you're using a container running Python 3 you can insert the following code prior to a print statement:
import functools
print = functools.partial(print, flush=True)
If you use the following to add a breakpoint
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
You should run the web
and/or api
container (depending on which codebase the breakpoint is in) using:
# Kill the already-running web container
docker compose kill web
# Run a web container. App logs and breakpoints will show up here.
docker compose run --rm --service-ports web
IMPORTANT: While attached to the running app, CTRL-c will stop the container. To detach from the container and leave it running, use CTRL-p CTRL-q. Use docker attach
to re-attach to the container, passing the container-name (which you can get from docker compose ps
), e.g. docker attach osf_web_run_1
.

Restart a container:
docker compose restart -t 0 assets
Recreate a container (useful to ensure all environment variables/volume changes are in order):
docker compose up --force-recreate --no-deps assets
Delete a container (does not remove volumes):
docker compose stop -t 0 assets
docker compose rm assets
List containers and status:
docker compose ps
In certain cases, you may wish to remove all docker container images, but preserve a copy of the database used by your local OSF instance. For example, this is helpful if you have test data that you would like to use after resetting docker. To back up your database, follow the following sequence of commands:
- Install Postgres on your local machine, outside of docker. (eg
brew install postgres
) To avoid migrations, the version you install must match the one used by the docker container. (as of this writing, Postgres 15) - Start postgres locally. This must be on a different port than the one used by docker postgres.
Eg,
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start -o "-p 5433"
- Verify that the postgres docker container is running (
docker compose up -d postgres
) - Tell your local (non-docker) version of postgres to connect to (and back up) data from the instance in docker
(defaults to port 5432). For
osf
run:
pg_dump --username postgres --compress 9 --create --clean --format d --jobs 4 --host localhost --file ~/Desktop/osf_backup osf
- The same can be done for
grayvalet
, just replaceosf
withgravyvalet
(this applies for all following commands related to backups)
(shorthand: pg_dump -U postgres -Z 9 -C --c -Fd --j 4 -h localhost --f ~/Desktop/osf_backup osf
)
- Dumping the database from the existing postgres 9.6 container.
docker exec -i osfio-postgres-1 /bin/bash -c "pg_dump --username postgres osf" > ./dump.sql
- Delete a persistent storage volume: WARNING: All postgres data will be destroyed.
docker compose stop -t 0 postgres
docker compose rm postgres
docker volume rm osfio_postgres_data_vol
- Starting a new postgres container.
docker compose up -d postgres
- Restoring the database from the dump file into the new postgres container.
docker exec -i osfio-postgres-1 /bin/bash -c "psql --username postgres osf" < ./dump.sql
To restore a local copy of your database for use inside docker, make sure to start both local and dockerized postgres (as shown above). For best results, start from a clean postgres container with no other data. (see below for instructions on dropping postgres data volumes)
When ready, run the restore command from a local terminal:
pg_restore --username postgres --clean --dbname osf --format d --jobs 4 --host localhost ~/Desktop/osf_backup
(shorthand) pg_restore -U postgres -c -d osf -Fd -j 4 -h localhost ~/Desktop/osf_backup
Resetting the Environment:
WARNING: All volumes and containers are destroyed
docker compose down -v
Delete a persistent storage volume:
WARNING: All postgres data will be destroyed.
docker compose stop -t 0 postgres
docker compose rm postgres
docker volume rm osfio_postgres_data_vol

When running privileged commands such as strace
inside a docker container, you may encounter the following error.
strace: test_ptrace_setoptions_followfork: PTRACE_TRACEME doesn't work: Operation not permitted
The issue is that docker containers run in unprivileged mode by default.
For docker run
, you can use --privilege=true
to give the container extended privileges. You can also add or drop capabilities by using cap-add
and cap-drop
. Since Docker 1.12, there is no need to add --security-opt seccomp=unconfined
because the seccomp profile will adjust to selected capabilities. (Reference)
When using docker compose
, set privileged: true
for individual containers in the docker-compose.yml
. (Reference) Here is an example for WaterButler:
wb:
image: quay.io/centerforopenscience/wb:develop
command: invoke server
privileged: true
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 7777:7777
env_file:
- .docker-compose.wb.env
volumes:
- wb_requirements_vol:/usr/local/lib/python3.5
- wb_requirements_local_bin_vol:/usr/local/bin
- osfstoragecache_vol:/code/website/osfstoragecache
- wb_tmp_vol:/tmp
stdin_open: true
To run collections, you must uncomment COLLECTIONS_ENABLED=true in docker-compose.yml under ember_osf_web, then recreate your ember and web containers.
