Installing

Please visit the Manual Installation for understand how you can install locally or deploy in a server.

Docker

You have a docker compose file for to do a automated deployment. In the next steps we can see as run and use.

1. Download the sources:

  git clone https://github.com/eReuse/devicehub-teal.git
  cd devicehub-teal

2. You need decide one dir in your system for share documents between your system and the dockers. For us only as example we use "/tmp/dhub/" and need create it:

  mkdir /tmp/dhub

3. Copy your snapshots in this directory. If you don't have any snapshots copy one of the example directory.

  cp examples/snapshot01.json /tmp/dhub

4. Modify the file with environment variables in the file .env You can see one example in examples/env If you don't have one please copy the examples/env file and modify the basic vars

  cp examples/env.example .env

You can use this parameters for default as a test, but you need add values in this three variables:

  API_DLT
  API_DLT_TOKEN
  API_RESOLVER

5. run the dockers:

  docker compose up

For stop the docker you can use Ctl+c and if you run again "compose up" you maintain the datas and infrastructure.

6. If you want down the volumens and remove the datas, you can use:

  docker compose down -v

7. If you want to enter a shell inside a new container:

  docker run -it --entrypoint= ${target_docker_image} bash

If you want to enter a shell on already running container:

  docker exec -it ${target_docker_image} bash

For to know the valid value for ${target_docker_image} you can use:

  docker ps

8. This are the details for use this implementation: devicehub with port 5000 is the identity provider of oidc and have user user5000@example.com devicehub with port 5001 is the client identity of oidc and have user user5001@example.com

You can change this values in the file .env
