Installation of Industrial HiVision in a Docker Container

Before starting, please refer to the Industrial HiVision manual, readme and release notes for restrictions that may apply to installing Industrial HiVision on virtual machines.


Note: This description applies in general to all versions of HiVision. For better understanding the version 08.3.03 is addressed here. For other versions please replace installer filename and Web-/Project-Data port numbers accordingly (offset is +7 between minor versions, different bugfix versions use the same port numbers).

  1. Prerequisites:

    1. Linux operating system with apt packet manager, i.e. Debian 12

    2. docker 19 or newer installed

    3. HiVision installation file ihivision08303_linux.tar

  2. Open a terminal, create and move to a folder of your choice

  3. Copy ihivision08303_linux.tar and create following text file named dockerfile:
    FROM debian:bullseye-slim as base
    RUN apt update -y && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive && \
        apt install -y libalgorithm-diff-perl && \
        rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* &&\
        rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    FROM base
    ARG INSTALLER=./ihivision08303_linux.tar
    ENV INSIDE_DOCKER_CONTAINER=true
    ADD $INSTALLER /
    RUN /bin/bash -c 'echo -e "y\n/opt/ihivision\ny\ny\nn\n\n" | sh /install.sh' && \
        rm /install.sh /ihivision.tgz
    CMD []
    ENTRYPOINT ["bash", "/opt/ihivision/services/HiVisionMasterService"]
  4. Build the docker image:
    docker build -t ihivision .
  5. Build and run the docker container
    inject volume- and port mapping (Web-/Project-Data ports):
    docker run -d --name ihivision -p 11201:11201 -p 11202:11202 -v \
          `pwd`/docker_host_exchange:/opt/ihivision/docker_host_exchange ihivision
  6. Share any data through the folder ’docker_host_exchange’
    from host: <your folder>/docker_host_exchange
    within the container: /opt/ihivision/docker_host_exchange

  7. Print status of the docker container:
    docker ps -a
  8. Stop the docker container:
    docker stop ihivision
  9. Start the docker container:
    docker start ihivision
  10. Delete the docker container:
    docker rm ihivision
  11. Delete the docker image:
    docker rmi ihivision
  12. Add more folder/file mappings to the container.
    For every mapping add the following volume mapping to the docker run command:
    docker run … -v `pwd`/<folder/file on host>:/opt/ihivision/<folder/file in container>
    Note! Mapped volumes, which have been existing before the mapping was applied, will become invisible within the container afterwards and overlayed by the host volume, so be careful with specifying folders/files which existed already in the container.
