Cradlepoint container limitations
Running on a Cradlepoint has a few limitations, based on the current limitations of the underlying hardware/operating system.
USB cameras are not supported.
Edge recording is not supported due to USB limitations.
The number of output EdgeVis streams is limited to one.
Installation Steps
Login to NetCloud Manager and access your Cradlepoint device.
Click on the device, then select Configuration, then Edit.
Then choose System, then Containers, then Projects from the navigation tree.
Click Add.
Give the project the name ‘edgevis-encoder’ then select Compose and paste the following;
version: '2.4'
services:
edgevis-encoder:
image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1.0-lite-arm64
network_mode: bridge
volumes:
- 'evvr-config:/config'
ports:
- '8443:443'
volumes:
evvr-config:
driver: local
Click Save and Commit.
To check the image has been pulled and is running go to Extensibility then Containers.
This will show you the current status.
This can take a few minutes depending on the network connection as the EVVR encoder image is downloaded
You can now access the encoder web service via the cradeploint LAN address. (default is https://192.168.0.1:8443)
Next steps...
You should proceed to log in to your EVVR Container to configure it.
Advanced options
Enabling HTTPS over WAN
If you want permanent WAN access to the EVVR container web service, Cradlepoint recommend setting up a port forwarding firewall rule from the WAN interface, rather than the port forwarding rule in the compose file. In the netcloud interface navigate to Configuration → Edit → Security → Zone Firewall → Port Forward & Proxy.
Under Port Forwarding Rules click Add.
Setup a port forwarding rule from 8443 -> 8443 to the bridged IP address of the Container.
Managing the container
Once installed, containers can be monitored and managed from NetCloud Manager.
Log into NetCloud Manager.
Click Devices in the left-side navigation menu.
On the table on the Routers tab, click the name of the device where the container is installed to open that device's dashboard.
On the Home tab, click the Containers tab.
To manage a container, select a project in the Projects subtab and use the buttons above the projects table to initiate commands.
Start – Start a container that is not currently running.
Stop – Stop a container that is running and close any associated resources.
Kill – Stop a container that is running without killing associated resources.
Restart – Restart a running container.
Pull – Update a container to its latest version.
