Drivers

See the PlaceOS Drivers repository for further information.

Installation

• Via curl:

  curl \
    --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 \ # Enforce strict HTTPS
    --location \                 # Follow redirects
    --show-error --silent \      # Show an error message on failure
    --fail \                     # Fail on HTTP errors
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceOS/local/master/scripts/install | bash
  

  In other words...

  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceOS/local/master/scripts/install | bash
  

• Via wget:

  wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceOS/local/master/scripts/install | bash
  

Dependencies

These will need to be installed prior to installation:

• bash >= 4.4.20
• docker >= 20.10.0
• git >= 2.27.0

Optional tools

• lazydocker for easy docker monitoring.
• docker completion for more efficient terminal use.

MacOS

If using Docker Desktop for Mac, the default memory allocation of 2GB is insufficient for running Elasticsearch in addition to the set of PlaceOS services. Bumping the resource limit to 4GB should be sufficient.

Configuration

• PLACE_EMAIL, PLACE_PASSWORD: Create an initial admin user via these environment variables
• PLACE_DOMAIN: Set an alternate application domain, defaults to localhost:8443

These environment variables can also be passed via the cli.

Usage

When finished, stop the environment's containers with placeos stop.
