Introduction
The following guide will explain how to install a self contained azeti Engine on an Docker Host. It is a very fast way to get started.
Please note that this way is intended for demonstrations, test and PoC environments. Further steps are required to scale up an installation for hundreds or thousands of sites. Contact our Service Desk for further information.

Installation
Ensure that you got
docker-compose
installed.root@ubuntu:~# which docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose root@ubuntu:~# docker-compose -v docker-compose version 1.7.1, build 0a9ab35 root@ubuntu:~#
Extract the installation files
~/Downloads ❯❯❯ unzip demoStack-1.0.6.zip ... inflating: demo/init_stack.sh
Execute
init_stack.sh
and follow the instructions. It will automatically pull the required images and files from the azeti repository and set up the basic system.~/Downloads/demo ❯❯❯ ./init_stack.sh For this script to work, you need credentials for the DockerHub and you must have read access to the Azeti Organization! Enter DockerHub username and press [ENTER]:
Setup
Organization Setup
- Open a web browser at http://<IP Address of Docker Host>
The setup wizard will guide you through the creation of the initial Organization and Super Admin User
Create a screenshot to memorize the Organization Short Name, Super Admin User and credentials as these are required further on.
Websockets Configuration
The Web browser of the clients retrieve data through websockets. This requires a server side setting matching the IP address of your new azeti Engine.
- Login to the Control Panel, e.g. http://192.168.207.210/SSCAdminApp#/login (change URL to match your IP address) as Super Admin (user you've created initially).
- Open System Parameters and search for net.azeti.cloud.mqtt.url
- Change the parameter to match your Docker Hosts IP address
Site Controller Software Upload
This step is optional but recommended. You can do this at a later stage if you don't have the necessary software package at hand. Template validation inside of the Control Panel requires a version of the Site Controller software you'll be using in your environment. It contains the XSD file required for the validation process.
- Login as Administrator into the Control Panel
- Open Config/Provisioning → Controller Software → Software Packages
- Upload the software package, click + Add
The package will be listed after a successful upload.
You can download the package at any time by clicking the button besides the Version column.
Engine Stack Usage
The demo stack comes with a collection of admin scripts which basically wrap around docker-compose
. Change into the demo directory to access the scripts.
azeti@ubuntu:~/demo$ ll total 48 ... -rwxr-xr-x 1 azeti azeti 101 May 31 17:40 start_stack.sh* -rwxr-xr-x 1 azeti azeti 99 May 31 17:40 stop_stack.sh* -rwxr-xr-x 1 azeti azeti 915 May 31 17:40 update_stack.sh*
Starting and Stopping
Use the start and stop script.
azeti@ubuntu:~/demo$ sudo ./stop_stack.sh Stopping the full stack... Stopping sscdemo_influxdb_1 ... done Stopping sscdemo_db_1 ... done
Same for starting it up again.
azeti@ubuntu:~/demo$ sudo ./start_stack.sh Starting the full stack... Starting influxdb_data ... done Starting db_data ... done Starting db ... done Starting influxdb ... done ...
Update
You can easily update the full stack with the script, it does a docker-compose pull ...
and fetches the latest application builds. Make sure to create backups before hand.
azeti@ubuntu:~/demo$ sudo ./update_stack.sh Enter DockerHub username and press [ENTER]: Enter DockerHub password and press [ENTER]: Login Succeeded Stopping the full stack...
