⁠Deploying Bold BI Evaluation Image Using Docker Compose

The eval tag (16.1.90-eval) is specifically designed to streamline the Bold BI evaluation process by integrating a PostgreSQL server within the Bold BI container. Please note that this image tag is intended for evaluation purposes only and should not be used in production environments. In this guide, we will demonstrate how to deploy the Bold BI evaluation image using Docker Compose, with volume mounts configured for data persistence.

1. Download the Docker Compose file by using the following command.

   curl -o docker-compose.yml "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boldbi/boldbi-server-in-docker/main/deploy/single-container-eval-no-license/docker-compose.yml"
   

   Copy

2. Run the command below. This command will start the Bold BI application container and display the Bold BI container logs, providing information about the installation status of the Bold BI application.

   docker-compose up -d; docker-compose logs -f boldbi
   

   Copy

   

3. Now, access the Bold BI application by entering the URL as http://localhost:8085 or http://host-ip:8085 in the browser. When you open this URL, the application will configure its startup in the background and display the license activation page below within a few seconds. You can either activate your license using the available option or try the trial version by selecting the Proceed with 30 Days Trial option.

After selecting the license option, the application will redirect you to the dashboard listing page.
