Ignition Edge and Ignition / Docker

Ignition
21

All,

Thanks for your help again.

I've been watching and reading the "Ignition with Docker" series on the University. I noticed when I'm in powershell, my command starts out as PS C:\Users\ckc49>. But the video begins with PS C:.

Should I be running as administrator?

Thanks,

C

If you are using docker-compose then you should run it from the directory where your compose file is located

Andrew,

I appreciate the reply. I'm new to docker and ignition. I have a few more questions.

I'm running Ignition on my Windows. In addition, I'm using Docker to run Ignition Edge.

I created a container by doing the following in PowerShell:

docker run -d -p 9088:8088 inductiveautomation/ignition:8.1.31

-d = Running in the background on docker.

Even though it's running in docker. Would I see a file in the C drive of my Windows computer? Or is all the saved in Docker somewhere?

Thanks,

C

It's in the docker container, and dies with the docker container. Unless you've explicitly set up a volume to hold persistent files.

25

Phil,

Appreciate the response. Do you use docker compose? One thin I didn't understand, is Docker Compose already installed in Docker? Or do I need to download it?

Thanks,

C

I do not currently use Docker. Still find VMs somewhat better suited to my workflows.

My understanding is Docker Compose is an add-on to Docker. I vaguely recall that it requires Linux, but that might be old information. Others will certainly chime in.

In my workflow, I find it extremely convenient to leverage Docker Desktop, especially considering the multitude of Ignition projects I manage. I employ "Traefik" as a reverse proxy to facilitate access to Ignition instances via URLs like "ist01.localdev.me". I've borrowed some inspiration from examples, and I must say, it's been a seamless experience.
this is my docker-compose.yml just you for know :slight_smile:

  init:
    image: inductiveautomation/ignition:latest
    container_name: ${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}-init
    entrypoint: sh -c
    volumes:
      # We mount this in the container as `/data` to not conflict with built-in>
      # at `/usr/local/bin/ignition/data`
      - ./data/gw:/data
      - ./template:/template
      - ./data/init:/db
    command:
      # Seed the files from the image to our /data if marker file not present, >
      # if the marker file exists (and implicitly exit cleanly with status code>
      # prepara the template sql
      # create a sql file with a standard user
      - |
        if [ ! -f /data/.ignition-seed-complete ]; then
          touch /data/.ignition-seed-complete ;
          cp -dpR /usr/local/bin/ignition/data/* /data ;
          rm -r /db/* ;
          cp /template/* /db ;
          echo "CREATE USER '${DB_USERNAME}'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '${DB_PASSWORD}';" > /db/${DB_FILE_NAME}
          echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '${DB_USERNAME}'@'%';" >> /db/${DB_FILE_NAME}

Thank you all for this. I'm using docker and Virtual Box.
