Installation

You will need the following dependencies installed:

• docker

• docker-compose

• git

• make

You start with checking out the source code, f.e. the main branch, as well as the git submodules we use:

git clone https://git.astron.nl/lofar2.0/operations-central-management.git
cd operations-central-management
git submodule init
git submodule update

Next, we build our software as docker images. This may take a while:

make build

To start the software, just start the containers:

make start

and make sure they are all up and running:

make status

You should see all containers in the Up state. If not, you can inspect why with docker logs <container>. Note that the containers will automatically be restarted on failure, and also if you reboot. Stop them explicitly to bring them down (make stop <container>).
