Hi
I now have a full set of written instructions for installing 1.8.12 onto Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
Would anyone like to test them for me?
The instructions assume you can have a fresh Ubuntu installed and have just logged in the for the first time. I bought several IBM M3200 servers off ebay for 15 pounds each (No drives) and I’ve use the same instructions on them and they all work.
I think this script below is the final version that will install Xibo 1.8.12 onto a Xibo host.
Install Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and login.
Become root with ‘sudo su’.
Create the script:
nano scriptnamehere.sh
paste in the lines below.
then make it executable with chmod +x .
Execute the script with ./.sh
When the script finishes, you’ll be in the basic config file where you edit your hostname, email addresses etc. Save your changes with control+x.
Then use the command “docker-compose up -d” to build
the docker containers. The build process will take between 8 and 10 minutes.
When the build completes, you should enter the address of your server, into a
browser and use the username xibo_admin, use the password ‘password’.
