Installing a dedicated Kapua instance

The documentation for SolidSense software is not maintained by SolidRun and the information herein is not actual with the latest version of the software, please contact our partner SolidSense Connect who is now developing the SolidSense software.

The SolidSense Kapua instance is not meant for production purpose, so we recommend the deployment of a dedicated instance when Kapua is to be used in production, in particular if data have to be stored in the Kapua database.

Installation procedure

Prerequisite for Kapua installation are the following

64 bit Linux system with minimum 6GB of RAM, we recommend 8GB, dual core system
Java VM Version 8
Docker 1.2+

The system needs to be connected to the internet during installation.

Here are the instructions:

$ git clone git@github.com:eclipse/kapua.git kapua
$ cd kapua/deployment/docker
$ ./docker-deploy

After you can connect to the console by

Changing Kapua sysadmin password

Log on Kapua as kapua-sys, go on the users screen and change the password using the credential tab. Remember that the password needs to be at least 12 characters long
Goto to the kapua/deployment/docker directory from installation
