Docker install including Apps module

John_Fitton · 2019-01-08T14:11:36.044Z

Hi
Looking to get the APPS (MySolar) that are available in the PI verison to install inside the docker contianer, I did try to modify the dockerfile but guessing I didnt do correctly, anybody able to help with this?

Reason for a Docker is that this is then a wired connection rather than the slow wifi from the PI (location bound) once this is working I will add another feed from a second solar array on the garage which is currently unmonitored.
Thanks
John

Hi @John_Fitton,

Sure, you can just add the following lines to the Dockerfile to clone in the apps module:

RUN git clone https://github.com/emoncms/app.git /var/www/html/Modules/graph/app

In fact since this is a good suggestion I have modified the Dockerfile myself to include the app module

github.com/emoncms/emoncms-docker

add apps module

You will need to pull in the changes then rebuild the container:

git pull
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

I was misisng the graph in my guess at the path, having followed the steps to update I am now faced with
Database error, you may need to run database update…

Guess I need to clear down the containers, unless there is a quick way to remove the database and rebuild it.

Removed the image, containers and volumes rebuilt and all is GOOD - Thanks.

Reason for asking is was looking to make use of the Sync module to send dashboard/feeds etc, which on the emonpi this seems ot connect and upload but the items are not seen on the docker install.
