Set Up the Gateway on the Wago PLS

Requirements

• Wago PLS PFC200

• Minimum firmware version 3 (Docker is already installed)

• Only operating systems with 64-bit architecture are supported.

Start the Evolo Gateway as a container

1. Log in via the CLI (Command Line Interface)

2. Create a Evolo folder in /root/ and navigate to it: mkdir /root/evolo

cd /root/evolo

3. Download the Docker Compose file: wget https://app.evolo.no/docker/docker-compose.yaml
   

4. Log in to the Evolo Docker Registry:

   docker login registry.evolo.no

   
   Contact us to obtain a username and password for the registry.

5. Start the Evolo Gateway: docker run --rm -t --privileged -v $(pwd):/compose -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker wagoautomation/docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d
   
   
   Description of the attributes:
   
   --rm:
   Removes the container when it stops.
   
   -t:
   Assigns a pseudo-TTY, so that output appears as if it came from a terminal.
   
   --privileged:
   Grants extended privileges to the container, which is sometimes necessary for certain operations.
   
   -v $(pwd):/compose:
   Mounts the current directory ($(pwd)) to /compose-katalogen inside the container.
   
   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:
   Mounts the Docker socket inside the container. This allows the Docker client inside the container to communicate with the Docker daemon on the host.

   
   -v /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker:
   Mounts the Docker binary from the host into the container.
   
   wagoautomation/docker-compose: The
   Docker image to use.
   
   -f docker-compose.yaml up -d:
   Uses the docker-compose.yaml file from the current directory to start the services defined in it. -d starts them in the background, so you can close the terminal without the gateway stopping.

6. Docker is now downloading the Evolo Gateway as a Docker container. The application will also restart when the PLS is rebooted.

Once the installation is complete and Docker is running Evolo Gateway, you can proceed to steps 2 and 3 at Add Evolo Gateway.
