vppillai / masters-docker

This project is a dockerised version of the vppillai/HTTP-MQTTWrapper project. This is meant for one stop config and deploy .

I use Digitalocean for development and the following steps are for their x86_64 ubuntu16 droplet. But the steps will hold good for most systems.

here are the quick steps for the impatient

Run the following in your droplet to get teh server up and running.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install git docker.io -y
git clone https://github.com/vppillai/masters-Docker.git
cd masters-Docker
docker build -t myiotdashboard .
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443  --name iot_dashboard myiotdashboard

Building and deploying this docker

This is a semi-detailed explanation of the steps above.

On a vanilla droplet, run

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install git docker.io -y

Once Git is installed, clone this repo and from within the repo, issue the following command to pull all required images and create a docker image by the name 'myiotdashboard'.

docker build -t myiotdashboard .

In the super fast network of DO, it takes around 5 minutes to create this image on a single CPU droplet. Once the image is created, issue the following command to run the Docker image and expose the ports via teh standard ports of the droplet.

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443  --name iot_dashboard myiotdashboard 

Note : In case there is an error that port 80 is in use, then issue the following command to stop the default apache instance.

service apache2 stop

Finally, if you need to attach and access the docker via a shell, execute the following command.

docker exec -i -t iot_dashboard /bin/bash
