The Edge Gateway enables the user to execute his own applications within
the protected Linux operating system. A software platform becomes
necessary to allow the execution of said applications without
simultaneously opening the possibility of evading the safety mechanisms of
the Linux operating system. For that purpose, the Edge Gateway uses the
open-source software "Docker" from Docker Inc.
www.docker.com/).
In order to work with Docker, read and write access rights at Docker UI are
required. You can check whether you have the required access rights via
the menu entry User profile [} page 46]. Granting read and right access
rights requires administrator rights and is described in section Managing
user roles [} page 40].
Note:
For more information on Docker, see the documentation of the
Docker organization under https://docs.docker.com/.
This section describes
·
how to operate Docker via the portainer.io interface of the browser
·
how to run additional software on the Edge Gateway with Docker (using
the web server NGINX as an example).
Tasks of the portainer.io interface
The portainer.io interface serves:
·
to add new containers
to provide functions for controlling the code execution such as Start,
·
Stop, Kill, Restart, Pause, Resume, and Remove
to configure the containers.
·
Starting the portainer.io interface for working with the containers
To start the portainer.io interface, proceed as follows:
Ø Open the Edge Gateway Manager, if it is not already open.
For this purpose see Calling the Edge Gateway Manager [} page 20]
Ø Click the tile Docker Management in the Edge Gateway Manager..
