Platform

Technoplatz BI Community Edition is an open source, multi-container, JSON-driven no-code data application and data sharing platform designed to empower business professionals build their own unique solution. It offers a pragmatic and optimised way to meet the key requirements of critical business processes by considering that each company has its own unique conditions;

  • Data Application
  • BI-Directional Data Sharing
  • API

The further information can be found at the official web site.

How to get started

Technoplatz BI works on Docker platform which is the leading virtualisation technology for developing, shipping and running business grade applications. Creating a Docker instance on the Cloud is the first step prior to getting started with the installation. We recommend Debian or Debian-based Linux as the main Operating System for the required Cloud instance.

Debian Linux

Debian is a complete, solid-rock and free Linux Operating System. The word "free" means here doesn't refer to money, instead, it refers to software freedom. In the IT world, there are a lot of reasons to choose Debian or Ubuntu as a user, as a developer and even in enterprise environments. Most Debian users appreciate the stability and the smooth upgrade processes of both packages and the entire distribution. Debian is also widely used by software and hardware developers because it runs on numerous architectures and devices. If you plan to use them in a professional environment there are additional benefits like LTS versions and cloud images.

Creating an Instance on the Cloud

Pick your preferred cloud provider and follow the instructions in the links below to learn how to create a new Debian instance:

The first touches to the Instance

Many Debian instances provided in the marketplaces may not be up-to-date in terms of the latest version of the operating system or some initial resources. As soon as the instance is created it is highly recommended that the following steps should be taken immediately;

Performing an initial update

Upgrade the packages that already installed and reboot the instance. Reconnect to the instance after rebooting is completed.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo reboot

Setting the Time zone

Check the current date and time zone;

timedatectl

List available time zones to find your location;

timedatectl list-timezones

Set the time zone. Please note that the selected location should be the country where internal users get connected or the preferred data center is located at;

timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin

Installing Docker Engine

Install required packages to allow apt to use the offical repository securely;

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg

Install the official Docker gpg key;

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | \
sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

Set up the Docker repository;

echo "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" \
signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
"$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Update the apt package index again and start the installation of the latest version of Docker platform.

sudo apt-get update \
&& sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io \
docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Verify that the installation completed successfully by running the following hello-world image. The command below downloads a test image, runs it in a container, prints a confirmation message and exits.

sudo docker run hello-world

Unistalling Docker Engine

The below command uninstalls Docker Engine, command line interfaces, container service and Docker Compose packages.

sudo apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io \
docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras

Images, containers, volumes or custom configuration files on your host aren’t automatically removed. To delete them all;

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd

You have to delete any edited configuration files manually.

Installation

Run the following command to get the platform script from the official repository and start containers by keeping them up and running in the background. Technoplatz BI restarts automatically when the platform is rebooted.

curl -Lso ~/technoplatz-bi/bi-sh --create-dirs \
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Technoplatz/bi/main/bi-sh" \
&& sudo chmod +x ~/technoplatz-bi/bi-sh \
&& cd ~/technoplatz-bi
./bi-sh start
