Container Station newer than 3.0

Xopero ONE is a multi-platform solution, it can operate in various environments. One of the possibilities is to run the service in a Docker container. This article describes the installation process of the Xopero ONE Management Service running as a container. The instruction applies to installation on QNAP NAS devices, however the software can be run on another Docker container host.

Prerequisites

QNAP with:

• x86 or x64 CPU (ARM is not supported)

• Minimum 2GB of RAM

• Container Station app from AppCenter

Environment setup

To create a docker container on QNAP NAS it is required to download the Container Station application available on QNAP App Center.

Connect to your QNAP Web panel, log into it and open the App Center application. Select the All Apps section and search for Container Station.

Download the application, open it and select the path, which will be used as a directory of your docker container data. Click Start Now to proceed.

Deployment

Go to the Container Station application, open the Container tab, and click the Create button.

Choose Advanced mode. In the image type, choose Docker image, and in the Image field, paste:

xopero/xopero-one-service:latest

Ensure the option Try pulling image from the registry before creating the container is checked, then proceed to the next step

In the Configure Container window, configure the Xopero ONE Docker container.

This form consists of a few fields, but the most important are:

1. Name - Set a name for the container.

2. Auto start - A switch, which defines if the container should startup automatically(in case of QNAP restart i.e.).

3. Publish network ports - Enter a port number in the Host field. This will be the port used to connect to the XoperoONE service in the container on port 80 (the recommended port number is 28555).

Once you have set the port forwarding, you can proceed to the last step.

Confirm the container settings and click the Finish button to create the container. Container Station will download the latest XoperoONE image and create the container based on that image.

When the process is finished, you'll be able to see your new container in the Container tab of the Container Station application.

You can connect to Xopero ONE using the URL address in your browser:
