Set up Docker on your SiteWise Edge gateway

To add a partner data source, Docker Engine 1.9.1 or later must be installed on your local device.

Verify Docker is installed

To verify Docker is installed, run the following command from a terminal connected to your SiteWise Edge gateway:

docker info

If the command returns a docker is not recognized result, or an older version of Docker is installed, Install Docker Engine before continuing.

Set up Docker

The system user that runs a Docker container component must have root or administrator permissions, or you must configure Docker to run it as a non-root or non-admistrator user.

On Linux devices, you must add a ggc_user user to the docker group to call Docker commands without sudo.

To add ggc_user, or the non-root user that you use to run Docker container components, to the docker group, run the following command:

sudo usermod -aG docker ggc_user
