CAST provides a single Docker image for Microsoft Windows (available in Docker hub) that includes the CAST AIP Components listed below. It has been implemented to facilitate CAST AIP deployment in a Microsoft Windows environment. The image is deployed via the CAST AIP Docker Installer (an interactive batch script) in a unique container created by the installer and you can therefore install multiple CAST AIP containers in the Docker environment - for example to install multiple AIP Nodes on the same server within Docker.

AIP Console (front end) - including embedded CAST Dashboards

AIP Node (back end)

AIP Core (currently only for Management/Engineering - Dashboard)

CAST Extend Proxy

SoftwareSupportedNotes

Docker Desktop

(tick)

Docker Desktop for Windows - latest version recommended, or one that provides:

Host Operating System(tick)

Microsoft Windows

See the Docker Desktop for Windows system requirements: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#system-requirements

Info
  • To run Docker in a virtual machine, the Operating System must be running Windows Server 2019 with the latest updates applied.
  • Installations of Windows Server using only Server Core (i.e. without a GUI) are not supported.


RAM(tick)16GB RAM (minimum) for the Microsoft Windows machine: 4GB RAM is granted by default by the CAST AIP Docker Installer to the Docker container running the image - see RAM allocated to the container below.
Storage(tick)25GB (minimum) free storage: SSD with SATA interface recommended. An installation of all components is currently approximately 14GB - however, if your data resides within the Docker container, then you will need additional storage.
CAST Storage Service / PostgreSQL instance(tick)

The Docker image does not contain a CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance for the analysis data, therefore you must install an instance on the current server (if the server is powerful enough) or on a dedicated server (recommended). The server on which Docker Desktop is installed and more specifically the container in which AIP Core/AIP Node is deployed, must be able to connect to this CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance. Make sure that the configuration file pg_hba.conf in your CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance is correctly configured to meet this requirement.

Access to Docker Hub(tick)The Docker image is hosted on https://hub.docker.com/, therefore the server on which you are performing the installation must have internet access to this URL.
