open-balena

This will create a new directory, demo, and generate appropriate SSL certificates and configuration for the platform. You can configure the deployment name by passing it as the first argument to the start-project command. If you wish to run the platform under a specific domain name, you can specify it as the second argument. The default is openbalena.local. For example:

$ ./scripts/start-project mydeployment my.domain.com

You can create as many deployments as needed and switch between them using:

$ ./scripts/select-project mydeployment

Remove all traces of a project by deleting its folder.

Start the platform with:

$ ./scripts/run-fig-command up

Stop the platform with:

$ ./scripts/run-fig-command stop

macOS & Windows

On macOS and Windows you need Vagrant. open-balena is not being tested with docker-machine. open-balena comes with an appropriate Vagrantfile for setting up the VM, installing dependencies and starting the platform.

Install Vagrant >= 2.0
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-docker-compose
$ vagrant up

When provisioning completes and the VM has started, open-balena services should be running inside the VM. You will need to expose these services to the outside in order for them to be reachable by devices. To do so, you must setup DNS for the domain name you've deployed the instance as to point to the VM's IP address.
