Aether Bootstrap

A bootstrap for creating Aether-based solutions

This repo contains a series of docker compose files and shell scripts that will pull Docker images of the latest version of Aether from Docker Hub and start them up.

For more information on Aether, take a look at the microsite.

Set-up instructions

First clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/eHealthAfrica/aether-bootstrap.git
cd aether-bootstrap

If you are starting Aether for the first time, you will need to create some docker resources (networks and volumes) and generate credentials (check generated .env file) for all applications:

Take a look at file options.default, copy it as options.txt and change it with your desired options.

cp ./options.default ./options.txt

After that execute this command:

./scripts/init.sh

You will also need to add an entry to your /etc/hosts or C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file. It should look something like this:

127.0.0.1  aether.local  # (`LOCAL_HOST` environment variable value)

Now you just need to tell Docker to start aether up:

./scripts/start.sh

Once the console output has stopped, you should be able to access the Aether UI in your browser at http://aether.local/dev/kernel-ui/ (http://{LOCAL_HOST}/{realm}/kernel-ui).

Use these credentials to log in:

• Username: user (INITIAL_USER_USERNAME)
• Password: password (INITIAL_USER_PASSWORD)

Add tenants

If you want to add more tenants to your installation:

./scripts/add_tenant.sh "tenant-id" "tenant-theme" "tenant long description"

So far, the possible tenant themes are ehealth or aether.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you enable a service after the tenant was added you MUST need to re-add it again to serve the new service under the tenant endpoint.
