Attention
The master
branch aligns with the master
branch of The Archives Unleashed Toolkit. It can be unstable at times. Stable branches are available for each AUT release.
Introduction
This is the Docker image for Archives Unleashed Toolkit. AUT documentation can be found here. If you need a hand installing Docker, check out our Docker Install Instructions, and if you want a quick tutorial, check out our Toolkit Lesson.
The Archives Unleashed Toolkit is part of the broader Archives Unleashed Project.
Requirements
Install the following dependencies:
Use
Docker Hub
Make sure that Docker is running. Run the following command to launch the Apache Spark shell with aut
available:
docker run --rm -it archivesunleashed/docker-aut
If you want to mount your own data, replace /path/to/your/data
in the following command with the directory where your ARC or WARC files are contained.
docker run --rm -it -v "/path/to/your/data:/data" archivesunleashed/docker-aut
You will be brought to a Spark shell. Skip ahead to the example below.
Locally
You can also build this Docker image locally with the following steps:
git clone https://github.com/archivesunleashed/docker-aut.git
cd docker-aut
docker build -t aut .
docker run --rm -it aut
Overrides
You can add any Spark flags to the build if you need too.
docker run --rm -it archivesunleashed/docker-aut:latest /spark/bin/spark-shell --packages "io.archivesunleashed:aut:0.80.1-SNAPSHOT" --conf spark.network.timeout=100000000 --conf spark.executor.heartbeatInterval=6000s
Once the build finishes, you should see:
Spark context Web UI available at http://c1c9c5ad6970:4040
Spark context available as 'sc' (master = local[*], app id = local-1565792045935).
Spark session available as 'spark'.

PySpark
It is also possible to start an interactive PySpark console. This requires specifying Python bindings and the aut
package, both of which are included in the Docker image under /aut/target
.
To lauch an interactive PySpark console:
docker run --rm -it archivesunleashed/docker-aut /spark/bin/pyspark --py-files /aut/target/aut.zip --jars /aut/target/aut-0.80.1-SNAPSHOT-fatjar.jar`

Example
Spark Shell (Scala)
When the image is running, you will be brought to the Spark Shell interface. Try running the following command.
Type
:paste
And then paste the following script in:
import io.archivesunleashed._
RecordLoader.loadArchives("/aut-resources/Sample-Data/*.gz", sc).webgraph().show(10)
Press Ctrl+D in order to execute the script. You should then see the following:

Resources
This build also includes the aut resources repository, which contains NER libraries as well as sample data from the University of Toronto (located in /aut-resources
).
The ARC and WARC file are drawn from the Canadian Political Parties & Political Interest Groups Archive-It Collection, collected by the University of Toronto. We are grateful that they've provided this material to us.
