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
