How to use this image

A user can choose any of the following options to use this image

Start Edge Using Config File (Recommended)

docker run --name edge -d -v /path/to/your/cb/dir:/etc/clearblade clearblade/edge --config /etc/clearblade/config.toml

This method of starting Edge uses a config file and uses Docker volume to make database persistent. Scroll down for an example Config File.

Start Edge using flags

docker run --name edge -d -v /path/to/your/cb/dir:/etc/clearblade clearblade/edge -platform-ip=<PLATFORM_URL> -parent-system=<SYSTEM_KEY> -edge-id=<EDGE_ID> -edge-cookie=<EDGE_COOKIE>

This method of starting Edge uses edge flags and uses Docker volume to make database persistent.

Starting edge with non-persistent database (Not Recommended)

docker run --name edge -d clearblade/edge -platform-ip=<PLATFORM_URL> -parent-system=<SYSTEM_KEY> -edge-id=<EDGE_ID> -edge-cookie=<EDGE_COOKIE>

This method of starting Edge uses edge flags with non-persistent database.
