Installing Precompiled Containers

Prerequisites

A system with Docker or Docker Desktop installed

Precompiled .tar files for the Edge Manager version you prefer

Basic Installation

For this example, the assumptions are:

• Docker files names:

  • edgemanager3451_32.tar

  • postgres_32.tar

• Image names:

  • edgemanager_32:3.4.5.1,

  • postgres_tar:latest

• If the user is in a Linux system then their username is part of the docker user group. If not a member of that group, sudo will be required.

docker load -i ./postgres_32.tar
docker load -i ./edgemanager3451_32.tar
docker network create autosol
docker run -d --name database --network autosol --restart always -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres_tar:latest
docker run -d --name edgemanager --network autosol -p 8080:8080 --restart always edgemanager_32:3.4.5.1

Finding the Image Names

To find the name of the images created by the docker load command, use:

docker image ls

Advanced Installation Details

Optional Ports

The edgemanager container can be created with additional ports open. When opening ports in Docker, the format is: exposedPort:containerPort. For example, to have the Edge Manager website open on port 8880 use the flag “-p 8880:8080”

OPC UA “-p 4840:4840”

Priority Forward can use any port, but the default range is “-p 40000-40010:40000-40010”

Mounted Volumes

If you want data to be preserved when a container is recreated, you will need a mounted volume.

To preserve configuration data, the database needs a mounted drive, the name db-vol is arbitrary:

docker volume create db-vol
docker run -d --name database --network autosol --mount source=db-vol,target=/var/lib/postgresql/data --restart always -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres_tar:

Full Creation Example

docker load -i ./postgres_32.tar
docker load -i ./edgemanager3451_32.tar
docker network create autosol
docker volume create db-vol
docker run -d --name database --network autosol --mount source=db-vol,target=/var/lib/postgresql/data --restart always -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres_tar:
docker run -d --name edgemanager --network autosol -p 8080:8080 -p 4840:4840 -p 40000-40010:40000-40010 --restart always edgemanager_32:3.4.5.1
