Online Installation Digital Factory Demo

Estimated time: 10 minutes

Overview

Use this path when Litmus Edge has internet access. A single installer container pulls the Digital Factory Demo images from litmusedge.azurecr.io, starts them inside Litmus Edge, and template_applyer configures Litmus Edge automatically. There are no manual configuration steps.

1. Download

Download Files For ONLINE Installation v4.0.0 from the Digital Factory Demo solution page. The zip contains demo_install.tar.gz and a README.

2. Upload the installer image

In Litmus Edge, go to Applications > Images > (+) > Upload > Select Docker image and upload demo_install.tar.gz.

3. Run the installer

Go to Applications > Containers > Run and enter:

docker run -d --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -e EDGE_API_TOKEN=init \
  -e EDGE_URL=<le-ip>:8443 \
  litmus/demo_install:latest

EDGE_API_TOKEN=init makes template_applyer generate its own Litmus Edge API token on first login. To use an existing token instead, pass it as EDGE_API_TOKEN.

Allow 3 to 5 minutes, depending on bandwidth, for the images to pull and the stack to start.

4. Verify

You should see four containers in Litmus Edge:

simulation_servers
demo_postgres
demo_grafana
template_applyer   (Exited 0 - this is correct)

In Litmus Edge, DeviceHub > Devices lists 16 devices (P1_L1_Machine1_1_OPC through P2_L2_Machine4_1_Rockwell), and Flows Manager shows four flows: 1. Production, 2. Process Control, 3. Startup and Maintenance and 4. Energy Monitoring, CBM and CDM.

5. Open Grafana

Browse to http://<le-ip>:3000.

Change the password, or skip.

Dashboards fill in as data accumulates. SPC and energy panels show data within minutes; daily production, OEE and downtime summaries become meaningful after the stack has run for a few hours.

Uninstall

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -e COMPOSE_COMMAND=DOWN litmus/demo_install:latest
