About this document 1. About this document This guide describes how to set up MiRFleet Server Solution and get started with MiRFleet interface. As MiRFleet Server Solution user, you have received the following information to get started: • License ID and password • USB pen with MiRFleet software and this getting started guide. • Usernames and passwords for logging in to the fleet interface. MiRFleet Server Solution is an alternative to the physical MiRFleet PC. MiRFleet Server Solution makes it possible to run MiRFleet on your own hardware and server systems. The MiRFleet Server Solution runs using Docker, a lightweight, simpler alternative to a Virtual Machine, so the first step in this guide is to install Docker.

Host and network requirements 2. Host and network requirements The specifications and requirements for running MiRFleet Server Solution are: • Installation file size: 3 GB • MiRFleet update file size: ~300 MB • Server requirements: Dual core processor with minimum 2.1 GHz clock • RAM: Minimum 4 GB (8 GB recommended) • HDD: 30 GB • Virtualization software: Docker CE/EE 18.09 Network requirements for the MiRFleet correspond to those of the MiR robots. See the network requirements guide on our website under Fleet manuals: MiR_network_ requirements_03.pdf 2.1 Network architecture MiRFleet is able to communicate to MiR robots, existing computer devices and WISE modules once connected to the network. Within the network it is still also possible for other computer devices to connect directly to the MiR robots through their robot interface. The WISE modules enable MiRFleet to control existing PLCs. 2.1. MiRFleet network architecture MiRFleet Server Solution Getting started (en) 09/2019 - v.1.0 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 8 2. Host and network requirements NOTICE Avoid using the robot interface to control robots that are active in MiRFleet. MiRFleet Server Solution Getting started (en) 09/2019 - v.1.0 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 9 3. Installing Software 3. Installing Software This section describes how to correctly install Docker and MiRFleet Server Solution to your computer system, and how to configure MiRFleet Server Solution to your preferences. 3.1 What you need MiRFleet Server Solution is supported on the following operating systems: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 64-bit 7.4 or higher. • Ubuntu 18.04 • Ubuntu 18.04 Core Server • Debian 9 • CentOS Host minimum hardware requirements: • CPU: Dual-Core, 2.1 GHz • RAM: 8 GB • Disk: 100 GB Software: • Docker EE or CE version 18.09.01 or higher • bash • dpkg (Ubuntu) or yum (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) • Unzip or similar (Optional) NOTICE When MiRFleet starts, it will load data from persistent storage on the host. This persistent storage also functions as a backup for the MiRFleet con- figuration. The default path to the persistent storage folder is /mir_persistence. This path can be changed, but it must be done before the installation. See Configuring MiRFleet Server Solution on page 15 MiRFleet Server Solution Getting started (en) 09/2019 - v.1.0 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 10 3. Installing Software 3.2 Installing Docker Docker is a tool for creating a contained Operating System (OS), similar to a Virtual Machine (VM). Docker uses the host resources directly, whereas a VM either simulates hardware or lock resources for each VM. Because of the direct use of the host resources, Docker is a quick and easy way to make a fast-running contained OS environment inside an existing Operating System. Instead of running in their own virtual machine environment, each application runs inside a lightweight container. MiR has chosen to provide the MiRFleet Server Solution as a Docker file instead of a VM image because: • Docker utilizes the host resources better. • Docker files are lightweight, so MiR can therefore more easily distribute security patches and update packages. • Docker containers are easy to configure and set up. • Docker containers are very isolated and therefore very secure and robust. Using Docker makes distribution of security patches for the underlying Ubuntu 16.04 easier than with a virtual machine image. When a new security patch is released, the customer will down- load a new MiRFleet Docker file and overwrite their original installation with this file. This will replace the containers running MiRFleet in Docker, but their configuration of the Docker containers and MiRFleet will not be overwritten. MiRFleet Server Solution Getting started (en) 09/2019 - v.1.0 ©Copyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 11 3. Installing Software • No conflicting dependencies. Because Docker containers are very isolated, there is no risk of conflicting dependencies between MiRFleet Server and other applications you as a cus- tomer might need to run. • Better backups. All data from MiRFleet will be stored in a folder on the host system (the customers server). This is what is called a persistent storage. Which Docker version should I choose? The Docker version must be 18.09.01 or higher. Docker is available in two editions: Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). Docker recommends Docker EE for business-critical applications in large scale production, and MiR also recommends Docker EE for running MiRFleet.

    Mir for fast, modern and secure graphical IoT deployments Mir is an open-source display server for fast, secure, and flexible deployments of graphical solutions designed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Originally built to power a whole range of devices, from desktops to mobile phones, it is also being used to power a new wave of graphical experiences in the IoT. Easy to deploy, fast to update, proven technology The Mir display server is available as a Snap, the next generation package format for Linux. Snaps are containerised software packages, designed to work securely within any Linux environment across desktop, the cloud and IoT devices and with Mir, installing the full graphical stack is A powerful display, with security as simple as one single command. In addition, Snaps have enhanced features built in such as automatic updates, built in rollback on failure, and security sandboxing meaning your IoT device will be as secure and robust as possible.

  • Linux Zorinoslite Live-Persistent Mit 64GB USB-Stick
    Linux ZorinOSLite live-persistent mit 64GB USB-Stick __________________________________________________________________________ Erstausgabe hat Status 14.6.2020 Hallo, da bin ich wieder, heute zum Thema Linux Lite USB Versionen „live persistent zu erstellen “ und damit über dem USB-Stick zu booten und damit zu werkeln. Der Unterschied zwischen Live Versionen und einer live-persistent erstellten Version ist, dass bei einem reinen Live System nach Beenden die Daten und Einstellungen wieder weg sind Das Benutzen ist sozusagen temporär bis zum Ausschalten.. Ein USB-Stick mit Live-Persistent eingerichtetem System kann sozusagen als OnToGo Linux benutzt werden. Das ZorinOS lite habe ich dazu ausgewählt, da diese nur wenig Speicher als System benötigen und mit wenig RAM auskommen, dabei als meine Voraussetzung auch auf Rechnern mit 2GB RAM arbeiten können - erfüllen. Das ISO-File habe ich dazu aus dem Internet heruntergeladen, funktionierten in meinem Experiment. Als Boot- Datenträgerhabe ich einen 64GB USB 3.0 Stick genommen, die Installation habe ich von einem IDEAPAD 100 gemacht auf dem Linux ZorinOS Ultimate installiert ist und von einem Siemens Fujitsu U910 auf dem Linux ZorinOS Ultimate installiert ist. Hinweis: Dies Dokument basiert auf meinem Erkenntnisstand an Informationen vom 14.6.2020 Das Linux Zorin Ultimate ließ sich nicht auf dem 64GB USB-Stick als Live-Persistent installieren; Fehlermeldung gegen Ende der Onstallation „evtl. zu wenig Speicherplatz“ Die Anleitung ( der Tipp how to do) wie so etwas zu machen ist – generell – hat
