Emoncms docker on unraid

[ishtangli (Stanley Chiu)]

Can somebody help me setup emoncms as a docker on unraid?

Followed the 4 step instruction but visiting the site shows MySQL is gone or something like that.

Sorry, total docker noob.

Alternatively, is there a VM of emoncms?

Hello @ishtangli you might be interested in Installation of emoncms on a DigitalOcean droplet its working really well and uses our new installation scripts

I prefer a local install since i already have the hardware.

The scripts will install anywhere you have SSH access to. I have used them to install on to a local Ubuntu VM.

So docker doesnt work anymore?

I dont think the docker images have been updated for a while - they are not something we officially support, they are more development items. I did have luck with a docker build based on work by jakezp that you might like to try GitHub - TrystanLea/emoncms-docker but I havent tried that for over a year so cant guarantee that it will work.

The EmonScripts approach on the other hand is the full build of all requirements. We do plan on adapting the EmonScripts install process for a docker environment but this is not on the immediate horizon.

Is there a really really idiot proof guide to installing it on ubuntu? Like from scratch including php, mysql, apache, etc.

Install EmonCMS on Ubuntu 18LTS with scripts

Continuing the discussion from Error in update emoncms: Updated 3 Oct 19 The new scripts work for installing Emoncms on Ubuntu. This worked for me on a VM with 1804LTS server. The new install script is here. Before starting, you need to set the current user so no password is required when using sudo. To do this sudo echo $USER' ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/$USER && sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/$USER Then follow the install instruction from here. When it asks if y…

I’ve pushed a PR to update the documentation.

A friend recently created this virtual guide to installing emoncms on ubuntu/rpi/linux.
Check it out and feedback here as it’s new!
. Installing Emon Cms | astralship | Katacoda
I needed to create an account on katakoda first, also, the apache config tutorial section isn’t perfect…
I really like the format of the guide though.
At the end of the tutorial click the + next to Terminal1 and open the host at port 80, it should display with an emoncms logon page!

Check it out and feedback here as it’s new!

Feedback is, “don’t use sites that require you to register”

[danbates (Daniel Bates)]

I know what you mean…
It’s a tutorial website.

I think it took me about 5 seconds to register with my github account.

I’ve been through it again to check now.
It works… Katacoda

@danbates

I think it took me about 5 seconds to register with my github account.

I’m not suggesting it is difficult or time consuming, it is that I don’t like being forced to sign up, when I have no idea if it is useful enough to sign up. The only reason to get me to sign up is to use my data for other purposes.

YMMV of course

[danbates (Daniel Bates)]

Hehe that’s it
All good.

Followed the instructions from the link and everything installed perfectly. Thanks for the help.
