bitpoolos/bitpool-edge repository overview

⁠Living on the Edge

At Bitpool⁠, we are massive fans of the open-source project Nick O'Leary and his team have created with their low code programming ecosystem Node-RED⁠. So much in fact, we would like to give back to the community by creating our own new nodes or extending other awesome projects.

You will find in this image the latest Node-RED version (Dark Mode - thanks Zeno⁠) and additional preinstalled nodes we have built (below) and other nodes we use every day.

Thanks for trying our small contribution, hopefully this will help you with living on the edge in your next IoT project.

⁠How to get started

Use the default docker run command to launch the lastest image.

sudo docker pull bitpoolos/bitpool-edge

sudo docker run -d --network host --name bitpool-edge -v bitpool-edge-data:/data bitpoolos/bitpool-edge

Next browse to the server (where Docker is installed) to view the running container.

USERNAME: admin PASSWORD: bitpool

http://localhost

or

http://localhost:1880

⁠How to update to the latest version

Run the following commands to stop and remove the running container, then launch again.

sudo docker stop bitpool-edge

sudo docker rm bitpool-edge

sudo docker pull bitpoolos/bitpool-edge

sudo docker run -d --network host --name bitpool-edge -v bitpool-edge-data:/data bitpoolos/bitpool-edge

⁠Tips and Tricks

Please include the --privileged docker argument if needing to access the local usb serial ports using Modbus node.

Also include the --restart unless-stopped argument so the container will start again after a system reboot.
