I got both Gateways running on my PC. The Ignition gateway was kept as the default localhost:8088, and I changed Edge to localhost:8000 in order to be able to run both on my PC at the same time (so I can work on Ignition projects in the meantime.)
The objective is to open an Edge project that I develop in the designer that is on my PC, on the HMI. However, Edge does not open on the HMI on localhost:8000 like on my PC, but at the default localhost:8088, so I can't open any of the Edge projects I developed on my PC. Any advice?
I disagree. The better way is to use a virtual machine. It's conceptually much simpler and doesn't require you to learn a whole new, complex technology stack.
And with Docker you still end up having to map ports to avoid conflict when you run multiple gateways.
I may not have provided enough background information...The HMI I am using has a web browser module, so all I want to do is open the webpage via that web browser. Its an Exor device (710M) if that makes any difference.
Here is the issue:
PC - Ignition Gateway - xx.xx.xx.167:8088
PC - Ignition Edge Gateway - xx.xx.xx.167:8000
These work perfectly.
HMI - Edge should be accessed via xx.xx.xx.167:8000 however, it's actually accessed via localhost:8088 (localhost being xx.xx.xx.60). And then no designer projects show up. Which makes no sense to me....help!!
Sounds like you installed Edge on the HMI when you should not have. If you are just going to use the HMI's browser to point elsewhere, you don't need Edge itself installed (there).
Yeah, that is how it's behaving, except I didn't install Ignition Edge on it as the HMI has limited space. I did install Chromium on it before I learned about the Web browser module available, though, but deleted it after. Maybe that created the issue somehow? I think what I'll try is wiping the installations and trying from a fresh install. If that doesn't work, I'll be back...
