Check your installation by running: mvi --help in a terminal.

The Manager

To install the Manager, you first have to have Docker installed.

Given a manager.tar file, install it by calling:

docker load -i path/to/manager.tar
docker volume create mvi_data
docker run --name mvi_manager -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v mvi_data:/data -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -e MVI_HOST_NAME="your-host-name" -e MVI_AUTH_ENABLED=True -d vikinganalyticsab/mvi_manager:latest

Where you change "your-host-name" to the URL or ip-adress you have for that machine or "localhost" if running locally.

License Activation

Starting the Manager according to above will give you a short-lived trial instance that you can use without restrictions up to 12 hours. In order to use the Manager for continuously running applications you will need to activate it using an Activation Key.

To activate the Manager with an Activation Key, start it by adding the following flag to the above docker run command:

docker run --name mvi_manager ... -e MVI_ACTIVATION_KEY="your activation key" ... -d vikinganalyticsab/mvi_manager:latest
