extensiveautomation/extensiveautomation-server repository overview

⁠Extensive Automation

ExtensiveAutomation is a open source automation framework. If you want more informations,

This docker image enable to run the server as container. This image does not contains any plugins, just the core server.

⁠Start the extensive container server

1. Downloading the image

    docker pull extensiveautomation/extensiveautomation-server:latest
   

   Copy

2. Start the container

     docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 -p 8083:8083 \
        --name=extensive-server docker.io/extensiveautomation/extensiveautomation-server
   

   Copy

3. Now you can use the web interface or qt client to interact with the server. The following tcp port are exposed:

• 8081 (rest api)
• 8082 (websocket tunnel for qt client)
• 8083 (websocket tunnel for agent)

⁠Start the extensive container server with persistant data

1. For this, we will use the following minimal directory structure and files in the specific container:

    ├── extensiveautomation-data
    │   ├── Dockerfile
    │   └── var/
    │        ├── data.db
    │        ├── documentations.dat
    │        ├── __init__.py
    │        ├── tests/
    │        └── templates/
   

   Copy

2. Create the main folder

    mkdir extensiveautomation-data
    cd extensiveautomation-data
   

   Copy

3. Copy the content of the var directory in server side.

    git clone https://github.com/ExtensiveAutomation/extensiveautomation-server.git
    cp -rf extensiveautomation-server/src/ea/var .
    rm -rf extensiveautomation-server
   

   Copy

4. And add the Dockerfile for the data volume, basing on an Alpine image:

    FROM alpine:3.10
    
    WORKDIR /home/extensive
    
    COPY . /home/extensive/var/
    
    RUN adduser -D extensive && \
        cd /home/extensive && \
        chown -R extensive:extensive /home/extensive
    
    VOLUME /home/extensive/ea/var
    
    USER extensive
    CMD ["echo", "Data volume for ExtensiveAutomation"]
   

   Copy

5. Now, we have to build the image and create the container, just as any other container:

    docker build -t extensiveautomation-data .
    docker run --name=extensive-data extensiveautomation-data
   

   Copy

6. Finally start the server and indicating that it has to use the data volume:

    docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 -p 8083:8083  \
          --volumes-from=extensive-data \
          --name=extensive-server extensiveautomation/extensiveautomation-server:latest
   

   Copy
