This guide details the required steps to update Inforiver Editable container instances within an Azure on-premises environment. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and successful update that incorporates the latest features.
1. Edit the CNI Configuration
Open your Azure CLI window and run the following command:
az container export -g <resource group name> -n <container instance name > --file output_file
To download the output file, click on Manage files -> Download and enter the path of the output file. Click Download.
Click on the output file to download it to your local system.
Now configure the below-listed container configurations in this file for Inforiver EDITable container deployment.
Containers Instance List - 1
The following are the set of containers required for the Inforiver deployment of Azure container instance - 1.
Note: Transition from Default Azure Domain to Custom Domain
When transitioning to a custom domain (e.g., https://webapp.inforiver.com) from the default Azure domain (e.g., https://webapp.azurewebsites.net), it is necessary to update the URL in the configuration settings of both the Azure App Service and the associated Container Instances. Specifically, ensure the environment variable ADMIN_PORTAL_URL is updated to reflect the new custom domain in both services.
After adding the container configurations to all instances, verify these steps again in each container's settings.
Provide the username and password for pulling the image from the registry. You would have received this information during the initial deployment. If not, please get in touch with our support team.
Remove the IP configuration section from the configuration file for the first two ACIs.
For the third ACI, the IP address block configuration is as follows:
Note: Storage account keys can be obtained from the respective storage account's Access keys section.
2. Create ACI
We need to separate the ACI into three container instances.
First, add the initial set of InforiverEditable containers from the containers instance list-1 into one configuration file and create the first ACI with a name, say inforivercontainerinstance1.
Then, add the second set of InforiverEditable containers from the containers instance list-2 in another configuration file and create the second ACI, say inforivercontainerinstance2.
Add the third set of InforiverEditable containers from the containers instance list-3 in a configuration file and create the third ACI, say inforivercontainerinstance3.
After adding all the containers in the configuration files, execute the following commands in the Azure CLI to create three separate container instances.
az container create -g <resource group name> -n <container instance name> --file output_file1
az container create -g <resource group name> -n <container instance name> --file output_file2
az container create -g <resource group name> -n <container instance name> --file output_file3
The CNI will start provisioning with the latest configuration.
Please wait until the status is complete.
After updating the ACIs to the latest configuration, we need to update the following environment variables in the app service:
Name: ENGINE_ENDPOINT
Value: <ip>:9007
By following the above steps, you will be able to successfully update your Inforiver EDITable container instances.
The update brings enhanced features and improvements that will benefit your Azure on-premises environment. Ensure all the above steps are completed carefully, and refer to the provided screenshots for additional assistance.
