Installing Siglens using Docker

If you prefer to use Docker for SigLens installation on your Linux or macOS machine, follow this straightforward "one command" guide. Docker provides a convenient and isolated environment for running SigLens.

Installing SigLens with Docker streamlines deployment, encapsulating all dependencies within a container. This method is user-friendly, ensuring consistent environments and efficient resource usage. It's perfect for those who want a straightforward, hassle-free installation.

Installing SigLens with Docker​

To install SigLens using Docker, execute the following command in your terminal:

curl -L https://siglens.com/install.sh | sh

The above command will download and run a setup and installation bash script from the Siglens repository which performs the following tasks:

  1. Extracts SigLens Version: Retrieves the latest SigLens version from the GitHub API.

  2. Checks Sudo Permissions: Verifies if the script has sudo privileges and prompts the user if needed.

You do not need to run the script as root.

  1. Identifies OS and Package Manager: Determines the operating system and package manager for Docker installation.

  2. Installs Docker and Docker Compose: Checks for Docker and Docker Compose and installs them if missing.

  3. Starts Docker: Initiates Docker and checks for a successful start.

  4. Pulls Docker Image for SigLens: Fetches the SigLens Docker image from the Docker Hub.

  5. Creates Directories and Sets Permissions: Establishes necessary directories and sets permissions.

  6. Checks and Allocates Ports: Ensures availability of specified ports (5122 and 8081) and stops conflicting Docker containers.

  7. Sends Sample Log Dataset: Downloads and sends a sample log dataset to SigLens.

  8. Starts SigLens using Docker Compose: Launches SigLens via Docker Compose with specified configurations.

Accessing SigLens UI​

Once the installation is complete, you can access the SigLens UI by visiting http://localhost:5122/ in your web browser.
