How to deploy Champion myself

You only need to do this if you are testing records that are, for example, behind a firewall. Most of the time you will simply go to Champion

If you feel the need to checkout the code, go to: https://github.com/OSTrails/FAIR-Champion/

However, you can simply access the latest Docker image, using the following docker-compose file:

services:

champion:

image: markw/fair-champion:0.3.0

environment:

• TESTHOST=https://tests.ostrails.eu/tests/

• CHAMPHOST=http://localhost:8383/

ports:

• “8383:4567”

swagger-converter:

image: swaggerapi/swagger-converter:latest container_name: swagger-converter

Find the latest versioned tag for Champion at Dockerhub

The following environment variables should be set (in the docker-compose, probably)

RACK_ENV=’development’

TEST_HOST=’https://tests.ostrails.eu/tests’ # this is probably now deprecated, as per March 2026

CHAMP_HOST=https://tools.ostrails.eu/champion’ # the URL of your own Champion instance

FDPINDEX_SPARQL=’https://tools.ostrails.eu/repositories/fdpindex-fdp’ # THIS IS CRITICAL!

FDPINDEXPROXY=’https://tools.ostrails.eu/fdp-index-proxy/proxy’ # if you plan to regisgter new tests or benchmarks using your local copy

CHAMPION_HOST=’https://tools.ostrails.eu/champion’ # probably redundant to the one above. I’ll check

That’s all!
