Docker Compose

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application’s services. Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose see the list of features.

Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as CI workflows.

Install Docker Compose

Download Compose version 1.13.0, the command is:

$ sudo su
# curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.13.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# exit

Apply executable permissions to the binary:

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Installing Thingsboard using Docker

Download the following files from thingsboard repo:

docker-compose.yml - main docker-compose file.
docker-compose.random.yml - overwrite docker-compose file with thirdparty ports configuration.
.env - main env file that contains default location of cassandra data folder.
thingsboard.env - default thingsboard environment variables.
thingsboard-db-schema.env - default db-schema environment variables.

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/release-1.2/docker/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/release-1.2/docker/docker-compose.random.yml > docker-compose.random.yml
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/release-1.2/docker/.env > .env
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/release-1.2/docker/thingsboard.env > thingsboard.env
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/release-1.2/docker/thingsboard-db-schema.env > thingsboard-db-schema.env

The main docker compose file docker-compose.yml:

version: '2'

services:
  thingsboard:
    image: "thingsboard/application:1.2.3"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "1883:1883"
      - "5683:5683/udp"
    env_file:
      - thingsboard.env
    entrypoint: ./run_thingsboard.sh
  thingsboard-db-schema:
    image: "thingsboard/thingsboard-db-schema:1.2.3"
    env_file:
      - thingsboard-db-schema.env
    entrypoint: ./install_schema.sh
  db:
    image: "cassandra:3.9"
    volumes:
      - "${CASSANDRA_DATA_DIR}:/var/lib/cassandra"
  zk:
    image: "zookeeper:3.4.9"
    restart: always

Create cassandra data directory:

$ mkdir ~/cassandra_volume

Update .env file and change cassandra data folder for your home directory

CASSANDRA_DATA_DIR=/home/<user>/cassandra_volume

$ nano .env

Execute docker-compose command to start Thingsboard node and all thirdparty components

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.random.yml up -d

Once started, you will be able to open Web UI using following link:

http://localhost:8080/

The first step is to login to administration Web UI.

If you are using local Thingsboard installation you can login to administration Web UI using default account:

    Username: tenant@thingsboard.org
    Password: tenant
