EVA ICS container

The Docker container image of EVA ICS is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/altertech/eva-ics

The image is compatible with both Docker standalone and Kubernetes.

Basic usage example: https://github.com/alttch/eva-demo-basic

Permanent volumes

The following volumes can be permanent (mounted from the host):

  • ui

  • pvt

  • backup

  • runtime

  • etc

  • log

  • var

The permanent volumes must be mounted to the container as /mnt/VOL

Configuration variables

The following variables can be set in the container environment to configure the system (for the first launch only):

  • MASTERKEY - system master key

  • DEFAULTKEY - system default key

  • DEPLOY - path or URI to a deployment YAML file

System name is automatically set according to the container host name.

Prepare / setup scripts

When the container is started for the first time or updated, the following scripts are executed automatically if exist and mounted:

  • /setup/prepare.sh - if exists, executed before the system setup (EVA ICS registry is already started)

  • /setup/rc.local - if exists, is copied to the container and executed at every container launch (after EVA ICS registry startup, before controllers startup)

  • /setup/setup.sh - if exists, executed after the system setup (EVA ICS registry and controllers are already started)

If “DEPLOY” variable is used, the automatic deployment is performed after all setup scripts are finished.

Updating

Roll out a new container image. The included update script automatically updates EVA ICS configuration during the first start. As the image contains all EVA ICS and required libraries and modules, Internet connection is not necessary, unless any custom modules are required.
