Installation

For most of our images we recommend deploying with one of your cloud provider's container hosting solutions. If this is not an option for you, refer to the instructions below for additional information about installing Docker (and Docker Compose, which we also recommend) on your server manually:

Linux

• https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Windows Server

1. Install the Docker engine using the following steps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=dockerce#windows-server-1
2. Install Docker Compose using the following steps: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/standalone/
   
   1. Note: You are free to place the Docker Compose executable wherever it fits on your machine. For usability, you can also add the chosen folder to your PATH environment variable.

Elimity container registry

We host all images in our own Google Cloud artifact registry at `europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/elimity-general/docker`.

Naming convention

We typically provide containers for usage on both Linux and Windows. These containers are labeled with the following naming convention:

• Every release is given a version, e.g., "v1.2.0"
• Linux containers are labeled with this version without suffix, e.g., "v1.2.0".
• Windows containers are labeled with a suffix for the specific version of Windows, e.g "v1.2.0-nanoserver-ltsc2022" for Windows Server 2022.

Registry authentication

You can log in to our registry using your customers.elimity.com account. Contact your Elimity representative if you don't have such an account yet.

We recommend installing Google's credential helper for Docker to simplify the authentication process during using Docker. To do so, download the latest release as explained on that page and set it up using the instructions shown here. For Elimity, the registry domain to add is `europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev`. After configuring, login with the docker credential helper and you can pull images from the Elimity artifact registry using the standard docker or docker-compose commands.
