• how to install this completely offline? I have several CMS installs where there’s no internet access at all, I used to bring update files to the server via an USB stick before. How will this be handled in the dockerized world?

ERROR: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/

If you can’t work around the proxy issues, you can transfer the images out of band. So on a machine without proxy, run the following: docker pull xibosignage/xibo-xmr:release_1.8.1 docker pull xibosignage/xibo-cms:release_1.8.1 docker pull mysql:5.6 docker save xibosignage/xibo-xmr:release_1.8.1 > xmr.tar.gz docker save xibosignage/xibo-cms:release_1.8.1 > cms.tar.gz docker save mysql:5.6 > mysql.tar.gz Copy those three tar.gz files over to the production box, then run docker load -i xmr.tar…

we purchased offline license-checking for Android clients, how’s the dockerized CMS handling those? How do I update such an install to a docked system?

As it stands, you’ll need to drop the offline licence pack in to the CMS container, and I’ll happy explain in a support ticket how to do that. Going forward, we are going to rework the offline licencing for 1.8 CMS so that it can just be dropped in the “custom” folder inside the CMS install (whether in Docker or not) and it will work. That will be available from the 1.8.2 release onwards.
