Datafari Appliance


For Datafari testing, you can use our public demo site : http://demo.datafari.com 

It is very convenient because you can test it within a few seconds.

But if you want to test Datafari on a Virtual Machine, you can now use our appliance. You can download it here : http://www.datafari.com/files/appliance/datafari.ova The file is in OVA so you can test it either on VMWare or VirtualBox for example.

Just import it on your favorite application and use it !

If you are using the OVA VM appliance, the default user is datafari, password : loglog

If you are using the Docker Container Image, the default user is admin, password : admin

NB : the keyboard input is by default in English. You can change it by clicking on the EN menu in the upper right corner :

To launch the installation Datafari when the VM is started :

launch the terminal

And enter :

bash /home/datafari/install_datafari_sh

That's it !

When the installation is done, some files will be indexed in Datafari (there are located in /home/datafari/exampledocs). You can of course index your own data instead.

To access Datafari, open Firefox and go to http://localhost:8080/Datafari

Enjoy Datafari !
