Local Device Manager 95/136
5.8 IoT Edge Docker
On the IoT Edge Docker page, you can monitor the Docker images and
containers that were deployed from the netFIELD Cloud via the netFIELD
Portal.
Note that you have to “onboard” your device (see section
"Onboard" (register) device in netFIELD Cloud [
}
page 37]) before you can
access this page.
Note also that you have only limited control over the images and containers
here (i.e. you cannot download, configure, start or stop them here),
because they are managed exclusively from the netFIELD Cloud,
respectively netFIELD Portal (where you can e.g. define environment
variables for a container before or after its deployment). This distinguishes
the IoT Edge Docker from the Standard Docker, which allows the
parameterization of containers before they are started (see section
Standard Docker [
}
page 88]).
Here you can, however, change the limits of the resources (memory and
CPU priority) that your application container is allowed to consume on the
device.
You can also “remove” an obsolete container image here, but only if you
have deleted it in the Device Manager of the portal beforehand. (If you
delete an image only locally on the device without having deleted it in the
portal beforehand, the image will be automatically deployed again).
Note:
The network address settings of the IoT Edge Docker can be
managed under
General Settings > Docker Network Settings
(see section Docker Network Settings [
}
page 81]).
