Dockerised instance of AWS DynamoDB local

DynamoDB Local for docker

Dockerised instance of AWS DynamoDB local

Build a docker container of the latest version of the dynamodb_local tool available from AWS and exposes access to it.

Running

Running a non-daemonised instance of the image is as simple as calling make run which will run the dynamodb-local image with an instance name dynamodb and publish port 8178 for local access.

$ make run

Initializing DynamoDB Local with the following configuration:
Port:   8000
InMemory:   false
DbPath: /var/dynamodb
SharedDb:   false
shouldDelayTransientStatuses:   false
CorsParams: *

Access

Using the aws cli you can interact with the local instance by specifying the --endpoint-url & --region arguments.

Example:

aws dynamodb list-tables --endpoint-url http://localhost:8178 --region dummy

Persistence

The container exposes the volume /var/dynamodb which can be mapped to a local path.

Inspired by deangiberson/aws-dynamodb-local.

Building

A make file is provided to make building the image locally easy. Calling make build will build the dynamodb-local image.

$ make build
