Docker Offline Setup

On premise Pickcel server setup in Offline.

The following are the steps to configure & setup your signage server with Docker setup. 

  • Make sure that Node.js & Docker are installed.To verify if they are installed or not, run the following commands.

      node --version
      docker --version

      If they are installed, then you would see their versions like in the image below.

    
      
Note that your versions may vary depending on the time and updates.

  • To install them, go to their installation page (links given below) & follow the instructions for your operating system.

    In case of docker, if your environment is server then look at the server section of their installation page & choose your operating system from the given list. You'll get the installation instructions there.

  • Once you're done installing them, you can run the first point commands again to verify. 

  • If you're using Linux, make sure that ifconfig is installed as well. You'll need it to get ip address of your local network. Use the below command to install. 

      sudo apt install net-tools

       
  • Connect your device to the network (wifi or ethernet) when the screen is also connected.

  • Open terminal (Linux) or command prompt (windows).

  • To know the local IP address of your device, if you're using windows, you can use ipconfig command. In Linux, you'll have to use ifconfig command.

    Linux example:


    Windows example:


  • Note this Ip address somewhere. E.g.. the highlighted IPV4 address in Windows and inet address in Linux in the screenshots above
    Note that this Ip address may vary according to your system and network.

  • Now extract/unzip the docker setup file that you got to your required folder. Click on Extract.


    Select the folder that you want to add it to and click on Extract again.


    It will extract the files like this:


    You can confirm if the file exists in your folder once its extracted.

  • Using cd command, navigate to the extracted/unzipped folder.

  • Run the setup command (inside the extracted folder). It will ask you for the Ip address to enter. 

      npm run setup
      
    

  • Enter the ip address and press enter. 

  • On finishing the setup, you should see done and your signage server should be running.

  • You can verify this by opening your browser and entering a URL http://<ip-address>
    The ip address in the URL suggests you add your server ip address.

    Browser

  • This should load the server.
