Docker CLI#

It is not necessary to use AiiDAlab launch to run the AiiDAlab container. You can also use the docker CLI directly by running

docker run -p 8888:8888 aiidalab/full-stack:latest

Follow the URL on the screen to open AiiDAlab in the browser.

Important

If you use the docker CLI directly, the data in the home directory of the container will be lost when the container is deleted. You can use the -v option to mount a local directory to the container to store the data persistently. For more information, run docker run --help.
