Set Up

This setup runs the MPS and RPS microservices as Docker* containers, standardized packages containing an application's source code, libraries, environment, and dependencies.

Get the Toolkit¶

To clone the repositories:

1. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt and navigate to a directory of your choice for development:

   git clone https://github.com/open-amt-cloud-toolkit/open-amt-cloud-toolkit --branch v2.6.1 --recursive
   

2. Change to the cloned open-amt-cloud-toolkit directory.

   cd open-amt-cloud-toolkit
   

Set Environment Variables¶

The .env.template file is used by docker to set environment variables.

To set the environment variables:

1. Copy the .env.template file to .env:

   Linux/PowershellWindows (Cmd Prompt)

   cp .env.template .env
   

   copy .env.template .env
   

2. In a text editor or IDE of choice, open the new .env file to edit.

3. Update the following fields for configuring the MPS, Sample Web UI, Vault and Postgres. Save and keep track of the values you choose.

   Field Name	Required	Usage
   MPS_COMMON_NAME	Development System IP Address.	For connecting to MPS server via UI or APIs. WARNING: Do not use localhost. Use the development system IP Address.
   MPS_WEB_ADMIN_USER	Username of your choice	For logging into the Sample Web UI
   MPS_WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD	Strong password of your choice	For logging into the Sample Web UI
   MPS_JWT_SECRET	A strong secret of your choice (Example: A unique, random 256-bit string. See another example in code snippet below).	Used when generating a JSON Web Token (JWT) for authentication. This example implementation uses a symmetrical key and HS256 to create the signature. Learn more about JWT.
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD	Strong password of your choice	For logging into the Postgres
   VAULT_TOKEN	Strong token of your choice	For logging into the vault

   Important - Using Strong Passwords

   The MPS_WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD must meet standard, strong password requirements:

   • 8 to 32 characters

   • One uppercase, one lowercase, one numerical digit, one special character

4. Save the file.

Set Kong JSON Web Token (JWT)¶

Set the shared secret used in Kong for JWT authentication.

1. Open the kong.yaml file.

2. Update the secret field with your MPS_JWT_SECRET.

   jwt_secrets:
     - consumer: admin
       key: 9EmRJTbIiIb4bIeSsmgcWIjrR6HyETqc #sample key
       secret: "Yq3t6w9z$C&E)H@McQfTjWnZr4u7x!A%" #sample secret, DO NOT use for production
   

3. Save and close the file.

Pull and Run the Docker Images¶

1. Pull the Docker images from Intel's Docker Hub repository.

   LinuxWindows

   sudo docker-compose pull
   

   docker-compose pull
   

   Note - Using an ARM-based Device?

   ARM-based devices (i.e. newer-generation Mac products and others) will need to build the images rather than use the prebuilt Dockerhub images.

   docker-compose up -d --build
   

   Note - Using SSL with Postgres Container

   By default in the Getting Started Guide, we do not enable an SSL connection for Postgres for ease of development. See SSL with Local Postgres for how to enable SSL in your local Postgres container. For production environments, using a cloud-hosted database with an SSL connection to MPS/RPS is highly recommended as one step to maintain a secure deployment. Read more about cloud deployments for Azure or AWS here.

2. Start the containers.

   LinuxWindows

   sudo docker-compose up -d
   

   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Check that all the containers are running and healthy.

   LinuxWindows

   sudo docker ps --format "table {{.Image}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Names}}"
   

   docker ps --format "table {{.Image}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Names}}"
   

   Success

   IMAGE                               STATUS                        NAMES
   intel/oact-rps:latest               Up 2 minutes (healthy)        open-amt-cloud-toolkit_rps_1      
   eclipse-mosquitto                   Up 2 minutes                  open-amt-cloud-toolkit_mosquitto_1
   vault                               Up 2 minutes                  open-amt-cloud-toolkit_vault_1    
   intel/oact-mpsrouter:latest         Up 2 minutes (healthy)        open-amt-cloud-toolkit_mpsrouter_1
   postgres:14                         Up 2 minutes (healthy)        open-amt-cloud-toolkit_db_1       
   intel/oact-webui:latest             Up 2 minutes                  open-amt-cloud-toolkit_webui_1    
   kong:2.3                            Up 2 minutes (healthy)        open-amt-cloud-toolkit_kong_1     
   intel/oact-mps:latest               Up 2 minutes (healthy)        open-amt-cloud-toolkit_mps_1
   

   Warning - Container Issues

   If any of the above containers are not running, walk through the steps again or file a GitHub issue here.

   If the kong container reloads repeatedly, verify kong.yaml edits. Misconfiguration of this file will cause the container to reload.
