Docker Compose

Philter can be launched using docker-compose. Download the docker-compose.yml file and then edit it to set your Philter license key for the value of the PHILTER_LICENSE_KEY environment variable. If you do not have a Philter license key you can request a license key at the bottom of this page.

Philter’s configuration properties can be set via environment variables. Here’s some examples.

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtnfog/philter/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

The Philter containers will then start. You can execute a simple filter request:

curl -k https://localhost:8080/api/filter --data "George Washington was president and his ssn was 123-45-6789." -H "Content-type: text/plain"

Or, to get a detailed response use the explain endpoint:

curl -k https://localhost:8080/api/explain --data "George Washington was president and his ssn was 123-45-6789." -H "Content-type: text/plain"

Other example requests are available in the Philter User’s Guide Quick Start.
