I’m 99% sure you’re going to hit the same issue mentioned here too, since PHP on Windows before PHP7 is 32 bit limited in integer values, even if your Windows is 64 bit.
Well im struggeling through a docker install atm so we’ll see how that goes!

Well ive followed instructions and got to the bit when I run teh docker command but it threw these errors back at me. Any ideas?
You typically run from the Powershell prompt rather than cmd I believe.
Your also missing a - in your command. It should be
docker-compose up -d
assuming you’ve created and edited your config.env already?
Depending on how you have Docker setup on Windows (Toolbox vs Docker for Windows), if you’re using Docker for Windows, you’ll need to share your C: drive with the Docker VM so that we can write persistent data.
There’s a guide here:
Ok Thanks i’ll take a look at that
Im using toolbox version 17.03
In that case the link I shared above doesn’t apply.
If you’re running with toolbox, you need to run docker-compose from the Docker Toolbox Quickstart Console - not from Windows cmd or Powershell.
I have opened that and it been sat there for 10 minutes saying downloading a file called boot2docker.iso from github - must be a large file!
38MB I believe - according to their release page.
So once I have manage to set this docker thing up. Am i able to move it from computer to computer? Do those computers have to have docker installed?
Thanks
Yes and yes.
It requires Docker to run. It could be a Windows or a Linux server with Docker on it. You’d stop the containers on the source machine, copy over your “shared” directory (which is created when you start the CMS for the first time) and config.env/docker-compose.yml files, and run docker-compose up -d and the whole lot transfers over.
SO I thihk im getting somewhere, I’ve run the command now and its completed but im a bit stuck, the instructions say -
Thisis will bootstrap and start your Xibo CMS. The CMS will be fully installed with the default credentials.
Username: Xibo_admin
Password: password
You should log on to the CMS straight away and change the password on that account.
You can log on to the CMS at http://localhost. If you configured an alternative port number (see below), then be sure to add that to the URL - so for example http://localhost:8080
But there is nothing at localhost…?
It can take a minute or two to get everything installed and running.
If it’s not up shortly, then what output do you get from
docker-compose ps
