How to Install OpenNotes Docker Container on Dply
Before proceeding please note that Dply services are no longer available
We’ve covered installing Docker on Dply.co in a previous post, this post will be a follow on to this post and we’ll use Docker containers to install OpenNote Docker container on dply.co
This post will be an introduction to deploying web applications on dply.co using Docker containers, please note that the free tier of dply.co is only available for 2 hours so you should only use it for trial purposes, of course, you can always pay to make it a production version/extend the availability of the instance.
Step One
Follow the first post to create an account and install Docker.
Step Two
In the terminal window, we’ll need to install Docker compose using the following command;
sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose -L “https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.11.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)”
Step Three
You’ll then need to apply executable permissions for the binaries using the following command;
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Step Four
In this step, we shall pull OpenNote Docker repo using the following command;
docker pull foxusa/opennote
Step Five
Now, we should run the docker container to start the installation process using the following command;
sudo docker run -d -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 foxusa/opennote
Step Six
After the installation process is complete, you can log to your container from the browser using your IP aggress that you can get from your Dply dashboard e.g. (http://machine_IP).
Step Eight
Now, you’ll be directed to OpenNote installation window.
Congratulations, you’ve successfully installed an OpenNote container on Dply, we’re going to cover more Docker container installation for many more web applications in the coming posts.
