Visit the official Docker to learn more about Docker.

System requirements

  • System requirements follow Docker Desktop on Linux or Docker Desktop on Windows.

  • A desktop device: Requires 2 GB of free memory.

  • On windows, the installation of WSL consumes 2GB of RAM permanently. It is assigned to the Ubuntu WSL.

  • Recommended: A set (At least five devices) to verify.

  • Recommended: Batteries or Micro USB cables for powering the devices.

  • Recommended: PANS PRO Manager to configure devices.

Setup instructions

The system is compatible with AMD64, ARM64, and ARM32 architectures.

  1. Download PANS PRO Docker

  1. Extract the PANS PRO Docker Archive

  • Type in a terminal: $ unzip PANS-PRO-DOCKER-LINUX.zip -d /path/to/directory

  1. Install Docker on your operating system.

  • Run the leaps_docker_install.sh script to install Docker on your operating system.

For example, on Ubuntu (Linux):

source leaps_docker_install.sh

  • After the installation, and reboot your OS to ensure Docker is properly configured.

  • For detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Docker documentation.

  1. Update the correct configuration with IP Address.

  • Update mqtt_host in leaps-server.conf to point to the IP address of the gateway board. Get the address via shell.

  1. Run all LEAPS Docker containers.

  • Execute the leaps_docker_run_all.sh script, which will pull and run the required Docker containers for LEAPS Center, LEAPS Server, and Mosquitto (MQTT broker).

For example, on Ubuntu (Linux):

source leaps_docker_run_all.sh

  • Execute the docker ps command, make sure all containers start successfully and are ready for use.

For example, on Ubuntu (Linux):

docker ps

  1. Connect the gateway board to your PC use a Micro USB Data Cable.

  2. Mosquitto and check messages (optional)

  • Use mosquitto_sub on your system.

  • To check for messages, use the following command in your terminal (This command will connect to the Mosquitto MQTT broker and display all messages received).

    mosquitto_sub -p 1883 -d -v -t '#'

  1. Access the LEAPS Center via IP address.

  • Use your computer’s web browser.

  • Enter the IP address or localhost to access the LEAPS Center.
