Hi

 

Please don’t be afraid to use hundreds or even thousands of databases with BaseX. Colleagues of mine and I wanted to make querying huge (+500M tokens) treebanks (large, parsed corpora) faster. We preprocessed our data and ended up with millions of databases that were all served with a single BaseX instance. You can read about it here:

Hi, 

 

For one of my projects, we want to set up BaseX as part of an online application. I was wondering if anyone has experience installing BaseX in a Docker setup and if so how things got split up.

 

In our case, each client will have many database, we're afraid that if we use a single baseX installation, it will have too many attached dbs.

 

So we were thinking that we could use 1 application but save1 data/repo per client in their own docker unit , then again, since .basex can only link to 1 repo/data, it doesn't seem possible. If you consider 1000 clients with an average of 30 (1 per language) database each, would you use a single installation and manage security at the db level with all dbs for all clients in the same setup or would you suggest 1 full instance (server + set of db) per client?

 

Links to any case study would be useful too.
