Overview

...

This section explains how to build an environment for developing container apps using iPRO Camera SDK. In this tutorial, the installation directory of SDK is written as ${SDK_DIR}.

Recommended development environment

...

The recommended supported environments are as follows:

• OS ：Linux (64bit)

• Distribution ：Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Development environment construction procedure

Obtaining a Developer License

Please apply for and obtain a developer license from the link below.

Preparing the Docker environment

Install Docker Engine on your development PC.

...

• The docker command requires root privileges by default, so add the user to the docker group so that it can be executed with user privileges.
  The official documentation states this in Post-installation steps | Docker Docs.

• Create a docker user group.

  Code Block
  sudo groupadd docker

  If you see the message "groupadd: group 'docker' already exists", the group has already been created so continue.

• Add the user you normally use to the docker group.

  Code Block
  sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

   

• The settings will be reflected.

  Code Block
  newgrp docker

   

• Verify that Docker can be run without sudo.

  Code Block
  docker run hello-world

  This is an example of what will be displayed if the operation is successful.

  Code Block

  ipro@PC-HP2208N0101R:~$ docker run hello-world Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://hub.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/

   

• Change the systemd configuration to automatically start the Docker service at boot time.

  Code Block
  sudo systemctl enable docker.service sudo systemctl enable containerd.service

   

• Restart Ubuntu once to check if the docker service starts at boot time. In WSL, you cannot restart in the ubuntu terminal. Once you close the window with the x button, start powershell and enter the following.

  Code Block
  wsl --shutdown

   

• Then start Ubuntu 22.04 LTS again from the start menu.
  

• Enter the following command and if the correct version number is displayed, it is successful.

  Code Block
  docker version

  This is an example of what is displayed when the operation is successful.

  Code Block

  ipro@PC-HP2208N0101R:~$ docker version Client: Docker Engine - Community Version: 26.1.4 API version: 1.45 Go version: go1.21.11 Git commit: 5650f9b Built: Wed Jun 5 11:28:57 2024 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Context: default Server: Docker Engine - Community Engine: Version: 26.1.4 API version: 1.45 (minimum version 1.24) Go version: go1.21.11 Git commit: de5c9cf Built: Wed Jun 5 11:28:57 2024 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Experimental: false containerd: Version: 1.6.33 GitCommit: d2d58213f83a351ca8f528a95fbd145f5654e957 runc: Version: 1.1.12 GitCommit: v1.1.12-0-g51d5e94 docker-init: Version: 0.19.0 GitCommit: de40ad0

If connecting via a proxy server

Follow the steps to allow Docker to access the Internet via a proxy server. If you are not using a proxy server, you do not need to follow these steps.

• Create a Docker client configuration file and write it as follows:

  Code Block
  vi ~/.docker/config.json

  The contents to be written are as follows.

  Code Block
  { "proxies": { "default": { "httpProxy": "http://[Proxy server IP address:port]", "httpsProxy": "http://[Proxy server IP address:port]" } } }

  特定のIPアドレスだけをプロキシなしで接続したい場合は”noProxy”で設定できます。詳細は プロキシサーバを使うように Docker を設定 — Docker-docs-ja 24.0 ドキュメント をご覧ください。
  If you want only certain IP addresses to connect without a proxy, you can set “noProxy”. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/network/proxy/ .

• Save the file.

Install qemu

This article describes how to install qemu, which is required in the development environment to create a container version of the additional app.

Installing qemu

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static # Install the qemu packages
sudo docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes # This step will execute the registering scripts

Preparing for docker buildx

• To use experimental features and BuildKit, set and reflect additional environment variables.

• Open the configuration file:

  Code Block
  vi ~/.bashrc

• Add the following to the end

  Code Block
  export DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

  Save the file.

• Check if buildx is available.

  Code Block
  docker --help | grep buildx

  Example output

  Code Block
  buildx* Docker Buildx (Docker Inc., v0.10.5)

   

• Check the architectures that can currently be built.

  Code Block
  docker buildx ls

  Example output

  Code Block
  NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS default * docker default default running v0.11.7-0.20230525183624-798ad6b0ce9f linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/amd64/v4, linux/386, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/mips64le, linux/mips64, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6

  If you see linux/arm64 in the output, you're successful.

Checking the development environment

We will check whether the environment has been built.
*The results are just an example, and may differ depending on your environment.

• Docker Engine is installed

  Code Block
  $ docker --version Docker version 23.0.1, build cb74dfc

  If it is not installed, please install Docker Engine.

• The Docker daemon is running.
  [If you are using systemd]

  Code Block

  $ systemctl status docker ● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-06-28 08:41:48 JST; 5h 6min ago TriggeredBy: ● docker.socket Docs: https://docs.docker.com Main PID: 1051 (dockerd) Tasks: 24 Memory: 199.9M CPU: 5.471s CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service └─1051 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock (以下略)

  If Active is inactive (dead), start the service with the systemctl start docker command.
  

• Docker buildx installed

  Code Block
  $ docker --help | grep buildx buildx* Docker Buildx (Docker Inc., v0.10.5)

  If none are listed, follow Docker Buildx to install them separately.
  
  

• qemu is installed and Arm64-bit apps can be cross-built. Make sure linux/arm64 is in the list below.

  Code Block
  $ docker buildx ls default * docker default default running v0.11.7-0.20230525183624-798ad6b0ce9f linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/amd64/v4, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/mips64le, linux/mips64, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6

  If you don't have linux/arm64, install qemu.

Installing the Docker extension module

To use docker capability, it is necessary to install “Docker extension module” into camera in advance.

Please download and install the request Docker extension module from the link below. If an old Docker extension module that only supports Container AdamApp for Azure IoT Edge is installed, it will be updated.Inquiry / SDK Download - Development Partner Portal .

Inquiry / SDK Download - Development Partner Portal (En) (i-pro.com)

Please install from the screen in the red frame below. If it appears as in the green frame, the installation was successful.

...

...

...

Access the camera (if the IP address is 192.168.0.10) with the following URL.

http://192.168.0.10/admin/setup_ca_software.html

If Cloud Support is set to "On", change it to "Off" and press "Settings".
