I’m trying to install Xibo on Windows Server 2016, and am following

https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/xibo-for-docker-on-windows-64bit-other-than-windows-10

all steps are okay, down to the point where ‘Installing the CMS containers’, and after changing the xibo_admin password, it says to check:

Check your shared folder

At this point, you should check to ensure that a shared folder has been created inside your installation folder and contains subfolders for cms, db and backup.

-> there is no ‘shared’ folder.

It recommends:

If it hasn’t, then it might be that Docker Toolbox doesn’t have permission to create the files on your system. To solve this problem you need to add command: --innodb_use_native_aio=0 to bottom of your cms-db service block in your docker-compose.yml file.

  • this doesn’t work.
    Any ideas?

Please ensure you’ve put your installation inside C:\Users (eg C:\Users\Xibo) as that is required for a Docker Toolbox based installation.

Doohhh - I should have been more careful reading the instructions.
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for your help as I was able to install the containers, and access the CMS (via the browser) to change the xibo_admin password.
One thing confuses me. The Windows 2016 server has IP 172.xxxx, but the docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100.

$ docker-machine ip
192.168.99.100

Question is how do I access this remotely? e…g. to access the CMS from my desktop using the address:

http://192.168.99.100

doesn’t access the CMS, and I can’t use the IP address of the server the docker is installed on i.e. 172.x.x.x either. How do access it remotely?
