Open settings

The settings are opened via the SETTINGS section and in the Docker menu.

In the menu item Docker you can enable or disable the docker feature.

Docker menu

Enable docker

Note

To enable Docker is necessary to insert a Micro SD Card in the CMTK slot, Docker runs on this SD Card.

Mount SD Card

Before we can enable Docker is necessary to mount the SD Card to the CMTK, that means the SD Card is recognized by the CMTK as a valid storage for Docker.

  1. Plug the SD Card to the CMTK.

    Note

    Click on the Refresh button to scan the SD Card.

    No SD Card Found

  2. Click on Mount SD Card

    To use the SD Card, it has to be mounted.

  3. Format SD Card

    Enter a passphrase to format the SD Card.

    Note

    Record the passphrase and keep it securely. This passphrase is also required for logging into the Portainer.

    Note

    The SD Card will be formatted with the passphrase. All data on the Card will be lost. It can take a few minutes until Portainer starts after the formatting.

    Format SD Card

Turn on Docker

After formatting the SD Card, you can enable Docker by clicking on the Docker enabled button.

Docker disabled

Docker is now activated.

If you now click on Open Portainer, another window with Portainer opens. The username is admin and the password is the entered CMTK-PASSPHRASE. Further documentation on Portainer can be found here: Deploy your first container

Eject SD Card

If you like to eject the SD Card, you have to click the "eject" button in the Docker menu. After clicking "eject", this dialog will show up.
