we're working on instructions for local installation without Docker.

Docker

The best way to use Tentacle PLC in production is with docker and docker-compose. We recommend having three docker containers, one for Tentacle PLC, one for Tentacle PLC UI, and one for Code-Server. We have a docker-compose file to facilitate this in our Git repository, here are basic instructions:

  1. Install docker per the Docker Install Instructionsopen in new window.

  2. Install docker-compose per the Docker Compose Install Instructionsopen in new window.

  3. Download docker-compose.ymlopen in new window from the Tentacle PLC repository.

  4. Run docker compose up -d from the directory where you downloaded the docker-compose.yml file.

This will create the three docker containers from the most recent versions we've tested on Docker Hub:

Default urls/ports for above containers

  • Tentacle PLC - http://localhost:4000
  • Tentacle PLC UI - http://localhost:3000
  • Code Server - http://localhost:8080
