JDemetra+ is an open-source software application developed by the National Bank of Belgium in collaboration with the Deutsche Bundesbank and Eurostat for seasonal adjustment and time series analysis. It implements TRAMO/SEATS+ and X-12ARIMA/X-13ARIMA-SEATS methods and is officially recommended by the European Statistical System. The tool is designed for extensibility and reusability in Java, running on multiple platforms with Java SE 8 or later. For more details, visit the JDemetra+ GitHub page.

This repository contains the Docker setup for JDemetra+, including a noVNC setup for easy web access.

Follow these instructions to set up JDemetra+ in a Docker container using noVNC for web access, now configured without a password for ease of access.

1. Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning this repository to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/trygu/jdemetra-docker.git
   cd jdemetra-docker

2. Build and Push Docker Image: Execute the build_and_fetch.sh script to download the latest JDemetra+ binary, build the Docker image, and push it to the registry.

   chmod +x build_and_fetch.sh
   ./build_and_fetch.sh

   Ensure you are logged into your Docker registry before executing this script.

The Docker image trygu/nbdemetra:1.2 incorporates JDemetra+ version 2.2.4 and a noVNC setup for web access, now functioning without a password.

After the image is built and pushed to the registry, initiate a container using the following command:

docker run --tmpfs /tmp/.X11-unix:rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=65536k -d -p 5900:5900 -p 6080:6080 trygu/nbdemetra:1.2

Alternatively, use this command for operation without VNC access:

docker run --tmpfs /tmp/.X11-unix:rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=65536k -d -p 6080:6080 trygu/nbdemetra:1.2

These commands, particularly the first one, map the container's VNC port 5900 and noVNC port 6080 to the same ports on your host machine. This modification allows access to JDemetra+ without the need for a password:

• VNC Access: Connect via a VNC client to localhost:5900. No password is required.
• noVNC Access: Navigate to http://localhost:6080 in a web browser for direct access without a password.

The image also adds a few example-documents for testing-purposes that lives in the Documents folder.
