4. Add the Docker repository to the APT package sources list.
   

   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"

   
   

5. Update the current package list including the Docker packages from the added repository.
   

   sudo apt update

   
   

6. Make sure the installation is being performed from the Docker repository.
   

   apt-cache policy docker-ce

   Response example:
   

   docker-ce: Installed: (none) Candidate: 18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu Version table: 18.03.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu 500 500 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 Packages

   
   

7. Install the Docker.
   

   sudo apt install docker-ce

   
   

8. Make sure the Docker is running.
   

   sudo systemctl status docker

   The response should contain the active (running) status:
   

   docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-07-05 15:08:39 UTC; 2min 55s ago Docs: https://docs.docker.com Main PID: 10096 (dockerd) Tasks: 16 CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service ├─10096 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// └─10113 docker-containerd --config /var/run/docker/containerd/containerd.toml

   
   

AxxonData installation

To install AxxonData, do the following:

1. Download the distribution archive and unpack it into any folder.

2. The default access protocol is HTTPS, which requires manual installation of certificates on client computers in local cloud. If it is necessary to switch to HTTP, run the following command:
   

   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTP

   HTTP is an insecure protocol that does not require a certificate to be installed. To switch back to HTTPS, run the following command:
   

   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTPS

   
   

   HTTP protocol is available starting from Axxon Next 4.6.1.

   
   

3. In the terminal, execute the command to grant execution rights to the scripts (load.sh, once.sh, run.sh, stop.sh).

   sudo chmod +x *.sh

   
   

4. Run the once.sh script.

   sudo ./once.sh

   
   

5. Run the load.sh script.

   sudo ./load.sh

   
   

6. Create the Docker services.

   sudo ./run.sh

   
   

7. Check the services status.

   sudo docker service ls

   In the REPLICAS column, all values should be displayed as 1/1.
   

8. Add the vmscloud.local domain to the /etc/hosts file.

9. Install the root certificate. The certificate should be in PEM format with a .crt extension.
   

   $ mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra $ cp rootCA.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/rootCA.crt $ dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

   If you use Firefox, then you should add the rootCA certificate to the Firefox Certificates yourself.

10. Change the AxxonData address in the Axxon Next configuration:

    1. Stop the Server.
    2. In the infra.dictionar file, replace the address of the CLOUD_URL parameter with vmscloud.local. If Axxon Next Server is installed on Linux, the file will be located in the /opt/AxxonSoft/AxxonNext/Dictionary.local directory. If Axxon Next Server is installed on Windows, the file will be located in the C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\AxxonNext\Dictionary.local directory. 
       
    3. Start the Server.
11. On the Axxon Next Server, enter the address of the computer on which AxxonData is installed in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc or /etc/hosts). For example, 192.168.11.12 vmscloud.local. If AxxonData is installed on the same PC with Axxon Next Server, you can skip this step.

AxxonData will be available at vmscloud.local. By default, 2 test users are available:

1. Admin1/admin1password.
2. Admin2/admin2password.
