    • Moving to Docker

      A number of folk are running openLuup on Docker...

      ...and I'm about to try the same.

      There are a couple of epic threads in the old place:

      Dec 10, 2015 openLuup on Synology via Docker openLuup on Synology via Docker

      Hi all. I would like to start a thread dedicated to running openLuup on Synology via Docker. I have successfully downloaded the airedale/openluup/ docker and have it running with AltUI, but am running into the issue of non-persistence after stop/start and limited success with adding...

      Aug 16, 2018 openLuup on Docker (Hub) openLuup on Docker (Hub)

      To simplify plugin development I created a Docker image for openLuup and made it available on Docker Hub. The Docker image is based on Debian (9, slim) and installs the master branch release of openLuup. The image uses the automated installation script of openLuup and therefore also contains...

      Much of the heavy lifting appears to have been done by @vwout there (and I've asked if they'll join us here!) There's a great GitHub repository:

      vwout/docker-openluup vwout/docker-openluup

      Dockerized openLuup environment with AltUI. Contribute to vwout/docker-openluup development by creating an account on GitHub.

      Hoping to get a conversation going here (and a new special openLuup/Docker section) not least because I know I'm going to need some help!

    • Grafana on Docker

      akbooer

      As part of my hardware infrastructure revamp (a move away from 'hobby' platforms to something a bit more solid) I've just switched from running Grafana (a very old version) on a BeagleBone Black (similar to RPi) to my Synology NAS under docker.

      Despite the old system being on the same platform as my main openLuup instance (or, perhaps, because of this) and now with the new system the data has to be shipped across my LAN, this all seems to work much faster.

      I had been running Grafana v3.1.1, because I couldn't upgrade on the old system, but now at 7.3.7, which seems to be the latest Docker version. It's a bit different UI from the old one, and needed next to no configuration, apart from importing the old dashboard settings.

      One thing I'm missing is that the old system had a pull-down menu to switch between dashboards, but the new one doesn't seem to have that, since it switches to a whole new page with a list of dashboards. This doesn't work too well on an iPad, since it brings up the keyboard and obscures half the choices. Am I missing something obvious here?

      Thanks for any suggestions.

        I'm on 6.3.6, and that still has the pulldown..

        I'm thinking of putting all the different programs on my NUC in dockers, as they seem so have some conflicting dependencies.. One for OpenLuup, one for Z-Way, one for InfluxDB and perhaps grafana in the same? Is it a good idea?

          I've certainly run all those things on different physical machines successfully. I'm warming to the docker approach: although stopping short of creating any docker images myself, I have been playing with a simple Alpine linux and using it to load up openLuup. I'm still struggling with external volumes since the Synology Docker UI doesn't let you access that, and I've not yet bothered with SSH-ing into it to do it from the command line. The thought of everything disappearing if you delete the Docker image is not very appealing.

            @akbooer I am on 7.3.1 and what I have done is to add links on the top of the pages to navigate between them.
            The link buttons work pretty well also on an iPad or even on the phone.

              Yes, thanks for that, which I was considering, but I already have a fair few links which are URLs to other UIs like AltUI, openLuup, ...

              ...just seems a bit of a shame to lose such a basic and effective tool.
